Via Pajamas Media and Pierre Legrand's Pink Flamingo Bar ... Do we have a problem in Iraq? It sure looks that way. I'm citing Mr. Legrand below, but I urge ALL of our readers to check out the FULL post. He has a commenter on his site that may have just put two-and-two together and realized we may have a very serious problem in Iraq, especially in the Green Zone:UPDATE: Here is the link to the CNN Website showing KIA in Iraq. (hat tip Dorkafork at Vodkapundit) Exactly the ranks listed by Honestjoe are listed KIA in a Blackhawk crash. Maliki is our ally? Oh my gosh the ramifications to our efforts in Iraq are dreadful…the only way to get past this is to understand that Iran is pulling the strings and take the war finally to Iran. The United States has to stop acting like a we fell off the turnip truck yesterday.How did the insurgents know who was on that Helicopter? Are they getting inside information? How can we continue to fight if the very government we are fighting to protect is aiding and abetting attacks on us?
The terrorists know that this is a crucial moment in American history. They understand the crushing blow it will be for the American public to see that not only did we lose some tremendously valuable men but that we have been infiltrated by our enemy aided and abetted by those we have vowed to protect.
Below I include the entire comments of one Honestjoe. These were recently left in response to this post, Sophisticated Attack, does this implicate Iran?. I do not know Honestjoe but his comments have the ring of truth in them from what I know of the situation in Iraq. These are presented in two parts with the second part containing the most blockbuster revelation. In that portion Honestjoe outlines the loss of a single helicopter with a list of officers on it that if it turns out to be confirmed will be a body blow to our efforts.
IF, and I emphasize that, we have moles inside the Iraqi government tipping the terrorists or Iranian elements off to the movements of our officers, or our troops, then we have more than just a serious problem. This ups the danger level in Iraq to astronomical proportions. And it would show a significant shift in policies from the Iraqi government. Additionally, this puts a whole new variable into the equation of sending more troops.
Let me be clear here: As yet, HonestJoe is making a supposition. There is nothing but speculation regarding whether or not there is Iraqi complicity in the downing of this BlackHawk chopper. But based on HonestJoe's analysis (whether it is expert or amateur is not known), there are a lot of questions regarding the downing of this helicopter. And if it's discovered that it was a tip off from someone in the government, then there's going to be some terse words exchanged between President Bush and Prime Minister al-Maliki. As a matter of fact, I'd bet some of those words might revolve around a simple question:
Do you want us to leave your country? Because if this is the sort of thing that is happening over there, we can't even trust the government we helped establish.
As I said, this is specualtion, at this point. I'll be watching this story as it unfolds, and see what I can dig up regarding this incident. And IF this was someone in al-Maliki's government, he'd better not stand in our way when we come for this guy. I think we have a better track record of holding the demons than he does. Please, go read Mr. Legrand's site. If anyone has anything pertinent or relevant to the incident, and it can be confirmed, pass it along to him. We need to find out what happened here, and whether or not we can continue trusting the Iraqi government. And if it's found out that this was done by Iran, then it's time to deal with them as well. This would be considered an overt act of war. IF it is proven Iran had a hand in it, the president is obligated to inform the American public and Congress.
