Major General William Caldwell told reporters in Baghdad Iraqi insurgents are being trained in Iran by people working for that country's intelligence service. He said the training focuses on how to make and use high-powered roadside bombs called Explosively Formed Projectiles or Penetrators.
When the bombs explode they shoot out a flying ball of molten metal that is capable of piercing armored vehicles.
"We know that they are being in fact manufactured and smuggled into this country, and we know that training does go on in Iran for people to learn how to assemble them and how to employ them," he said. "We know that training has gone on as recently as this past month, from detainees debriefs."
How we can just let the mullah regime kill our troops is beyond me. We'd best be in the final stages of a plan to knock out the mullah regime with our apparent indifference just a temporary inconvenience we endure until we take decisive action. If not, it is a disgrace that we let the Iran-Iraq border stop us from using our power to directly stop the mullahs from killing our people and seeking to defeat us.
We may mock the Royal Navy for their apparent ease at giving in to the mullahs in the recent hostage crisis, but our government's failure to stand up to them is far more scandalous in my opinion. And our loyal opposition's unseemly efforts to protect Iran from our military power is a disgrace.
