04/12/2004: "Iraqi Stakes"

Via FreeIran Activist chat email list, this from NY Post:

ON Saturday, Iranian agents ambushed an American convoy on the road
between Mosul and Akre in Iraq. The attack did not go as planned: Our
troops responded sharply, killing two Iranians, wounding a third and
capturing two more.

They were carrying their identity documents.
...
Hundreds of Iranian agents and fighters have been confirmed to be in
Iran. The actual number is probably in the thousands. They've swelled
the ranks of Sadr's "Mahdi Army" and stiffened its backbone.
...
Wherever his thugs rose up, our soldiers shut them down. Efficiently,
effectively and courageously.

But now, in the face of a Coalition victory, a cancerous danger
threatens. President Bush is on the verge of making the same mistake his
father made at the end of Desert Storm and that his Pentagon advisers
encouraged him to make last year - stopping half-way.
...
The apologists for terror are piling on, from the hateful rhetoric of
al-Jazeera, which encouraged attacks on Americans all week, to the
corrupt sheiks of the Persian Gulf who are responsible for so much of
the decline of the Arab soul.

If we do not pursue our enemies unto their deaths while we have the
chance, Fallujah will prove to be Bush's Mogadishu. And the forces of
global terror will have won again.

What he said.
