Liberty Reborn

I hear it all the time when I talk about needing to get tough on Iran. And I mean really tough like kick their ass kind of tough not the, “Now you naughty boys stop that or we will sanction you,” pansy kind of tough. Yep, the do nothing whiners always come back with, “Oh Jeff, there you again with your hawkish blood thirst! Does it know no bounds? Why would you want to attack a country that is not attacking us?”

This is the response I get from the left who have never been shy about fighting a war and killing people when their power is at risk and the liberaltarians who fancy themselves as libertarians but are really not. The fact is that Iran is attacking us as the top US commander in Iraq points out:

BAGHDAD (AP) – The top U.S. military commander in Iraq on Tuesday accused Iran of continuing to support and train militants who are carrying out attacks, including most of the ones in Baghdad.

Gen. Ray Odierno said the attacks have fallen in number but are still a problem. He made the comments just after the U.S. relinquished security for Baghdad and other urban areas to Iraqi forces, part of a security agreement that will see all American soldiers out of the country by the end of 2011.

“Iran is still supporting, funding and training surrogates who operate inside of Iraq. They have not stopped and I don’t think they will stop,” Odierno told reporters at the U.S. military headquarters outside Baghdad. “I think many of the attacks in Baghdad are from individuals that have been in fact funded or trained by the Iranians.”

So spare me the lies about that peaceful little country known as Iran that is no threat despite threatening repeatedly to wipe Israel off the map and funding terrorists. You can keep your head in the sand, but eventually the truth will bite you in the ass you have sticking up into the air!

You can keep coming up with excuses and whining but the truth is that you are just part of the problem as long as you do this. We didn’t get into this hand basket and start our journey to Hell recently. We’ve been in it for a long time and traveling merrily along. But now that we are close to the gates and can feel the heat we are starting to take notice.

So, do we stand up to evil or do we let it burn us? Right now we are letting it burn us.
