Countering the mullahs' intelligence in Iraq...

In his "The New Way Forward in Iraq" speech (January 11, 2007), the president laid out what is very likely the initial phase in countering the mullahs' murderous influence in Iraq. Mr. Bush said that "...Iran is providing material support for attacks on American troops. We will disrupt the attacks on our forces. We will interrupt the flow of support from Iran... And we will seek out and destroy the networks providing advanced weaponry and training to our enemies in Iraq."

In the event that it is lost on some just how much influence the mullahs and their proxy agents wield in Iraq, the Iraq Foreign Minister, Mr. Hoshyar Zebari, a Kurd, critizied in a Reuters Report, the arrest of a number of Iranian agents by US forces in a so-called liasion office in the Kurdish city of Irbil. He said that "We are now in the process of changing these offices to consulates," he said. "It is not a new office. This liaison office has been there for a long time.", lending his support to the mullahs' claim that this was a consulate office and was illegally raided by the US.

In case, you are wondering just how the US forces are gaining the upper hand on the mullahs' Revolutionary Guards in Iraq, look no further than the page four article in the Wall Street Journal, January 12, 2007, "Pentagon Intensifies Pressure on Iran", in which it is laid out that the US has intensified it information-sharing with dissident-Iranian group(s), "Mujahedin-e Khalq, according to officials associated with the group."

This is clearly a good start to an strategy of neutralizing the mullahs.
