"We think that given the situation in Iraq and given Iran's continued behavior that is leading to further instability in Iraq, that it would be appropriate to have another face-to-face meeting to directly convey to the Iranian authorities that if they wish to see a more stable, secure, peaceful Iraq, which is what they have said they would like to see, that they need to change their behavior," spokesman Sean McCormack told reporters.
"They need to stop supporting sectarian militias that are exacerbating sectarian tensions, they need to stop supporting EFP networks that pose a direct threat to our troops," he said, referring to Explosively Formed Penetrators, devices crafted to penetrate armored vehicles that Washington claims are being sent to insurgents by Iran.
"It is important to directly convey to the Iranian government the importance of their changing their behavior, not only for the safety of our troops, but also for the future of Iraq," McCormack said.
Umm....what??? "Behavior"?? The Iranians are only doing this simply because they are exerting their region power and they have seen so far that they've gotten away with it. You throw a bomb their way, they will back down. They've been supporting the insurgency now for years and they simply cannot be allowed to get away with it. They need to be hauled in front of the UN for their nuclear program and sanctioned severely. They need to have a weapons factory bombed to rubble. They need to have Russia and China against them. If Russia and China cannot or will not back sanctions for such blatantly obvious acts of war, then it might become time for other drastic measures to be taken: Allow the Israeli's to attack Iran. Regardless of what happens, the US is going to get blamed anyways. The Israeli's are foaming at the mouth, ready to strike and they simply can't afford to have a nuclear Iran sitting next door to them.
Now that attack could come in many ways. Targeted assassinations of key scientists or leaders, airstrikes against their nuclear facilities, sabotage of various other facilities, destroying oil rigs, and more. Do you think that China would be taking this on the chin if all of a sudden Japan started ratcheting up the rhetoric against them and talking about "peaceful" nuclear plants? Do you think China would allow Japanese people to flow into their borders with $10,000 sniper rifles to kill Chinese soldiers? Of course not, so why should we be any different?
The time for peaceful resolutions to this situation is fast running out. If Iran wants to continue to have a normal relationship with the rest of the international community, it had better shape up or the consequences will be dire.
