Iranian bombs have killed 170 Iraq coalition troops: US
by Dave Clark
BAGHDAD (AFP) – Sophisticated Iranian-built bombs smuggled into Iraq have killed at least 170 US and allied soldiers since June 2004 and wounded 620 more, senior US defence officials have said.

The allegation, made Sunday at a background briefing in Baghdad’s fortified Green Zone, comes as Washington steps up its criticism of Iran and will feed a fierce debate over relations with the Islamic republic.
“Iran is involved in supplying explosively formed projectiles or EFPs and other material to Iraqi extremist groups,” a senior official from the US-led multinational coalition told journalists.
Three coalition officials met reporters to point the finger at the Al-Qods Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, part of Tehran’s elite forces accused of links with foreign militants.
“The Qods Force arms extremists and insurgents to carry out terrorist attacks and guerrilla warfare,” he said. “The Qods Force provides advice, training and weapons to proxy forces in Iraq.”
The men spoke on condition of anonymity for their security and cameras and recording devices were barred from the briefing, where an array of mortar shells and booby traps were laid out for inspection.

Taliban prepare for spring offensive in Afghan south
By Saeed Ali Achakzai Sun Feb 11,

SPIN BOLDAK, Afghanistan (Reuters) - Taliban fighters are continuing to reinforce a key southern town against an expected NATO offensive more than a week after taking it over, ending a controversial four month truce.
More than 1,500 villagers have fled the town of Musa Qala, in the Taliban heartland and the major opium province in the world’s largest supplier, in fear of renewed fighting.
“More than 300 fighters are in Musa Qala,” senior Taliban commander Mulla Hayatullah Khan told Reuters from an secret base.
“They have been alerted and military supplies are being provided from other areas.”
Residents say the Taliban are reinforcing their troops with heavy weapons, but NATO says there is no evidence of force build-dup.
The Taliban regularly over-run major centers, but rarely hold them for more than a day or two. This is one of the longest times a key center has been held.

Click hereThis is a satirical website. None of what you read here has anything to do with Islam, because Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everybody knows that good Muslims never do the things they do, (because Allah does it for them, Quran 8:12) and we know that only our misperceptions, ignorance and stereotyping of Islam makes Muslims chop off heads, kill and rape women and children, bomb subways, buses, nightclubs and fly jets into buildings. If it wasn't for the media and da Jooozzz, we wouldn't even know its happening.We welcome open, honest, thoughtful, and vigorous discussion in the comments threads, so do yourself a favour and don't accuse us of being 'haters' because we are loving, tolerant people. Don't curse us, don't threaten us with death or hellfire, and don't accuse us of being "just like the terrorists" because we don't do to Muslims what they do to us or to themselves. Yes, we know that only idiots oppose Islam and sensible people submit, but you should know that we are ignorant bigots, hypocrites and Islamophobes, and we prefer to remain that way...But since you are forcing yourselves (and your abhorrent belief-system on us) we will defend ourselves, because we must. Avoid tu quoque and ad hominem attacks. If you annoy us, you will be banned and your posts summarily deleted.Try to add to the discussion, don't try to sell snake oil, don't try to cover us with Islamic shrouds of kitman and taqiyya, write in English, try to tell the truth,
(we know that's hard for you because you are all pathological liars) but the truth will set you free, try it!One more thing: don't think you can post here under multiple monikers. You will quickly be disappeared! The same goes for
trufers and conspiracy kooks: you get one chance, one time. Blow it out of your ass if you must; put your stupidity on display.But you won't be back, trust me on that.Take a deep breath before you post, try to make some sense, do not just vent, do not make a fool of yourself and if you prove us wrong you can earn 10 Islamic dollars for your piggy bank. Deal?

One of these mornings we will wake up to news that Iran has been attacked. After almost 30 years of atrocities from Satan Khomeini’s Islamic republic of vipers this will be welcome news to anyone sick and tired of all the crap these bastards have caused. When it happens I don’t want to hear any BS about nation building and bringing democracy to Iran-I want Iran’s criminal leadership beheaded and its warmaking capacity reduced to nothing, collateral damage be damned. The Iranians can then do what they will with their country, provided they are not insane enough to continue in the stupidity of Khomeinism.
I too, would like to wake up to such news, but please, show me a government today that would give the order to attack. Such news are only conceivable if they are preceded by news of government change.
I agree re the news.
I don’t want any more money spent on democratization of any islamic lands.
It will never work because they don’t want it. They don’t understand it. It is against the koran.
Let them live in the 7th century.
Iran: pay back is on the way. These Muhammedians know nothing but violence and destruction. Hows this for the dual logic of Islam, Iran exists, and it doesn’t.
