General Ray Odierno, commander of US forces in Iraq, said today that Iran is training people to attack US bases inside Iraq. Odierno identified the group that is being trained and (in general) the intelligence basis for his statement. Will anyone care? Will we hear any statement from Obama that Iran's conduct is unacceptable? Will the US take any action at all or will we just stand around and try to defend our troops from the forthcoming attack?
I do not understand why the administration does nothing to stop the Iranians from taking actions designed to kill American troops. We know that for years the Iranians armed the terrorists in both Iraq and Afghanistan. We know that the Iranians directed the militant Shia militias that were active in Iraq. We know that many Americans are now dead (not to mention hundreds or thousands of Iraqis) due to the activities of the Iranians. Why do we stand by and let this happen?
Why can't we have a leader who actually tells the public what is happening and then takes steps to protect our men and women in uniform. Why does Congress do nothing? Where is the media and why is it silent?
This is a national disgrace in my opinion!
