Obama Frees Iranian Terror Masters

I thought I had better update everybody about Obama's latest outrage.

The release of the “Irbil Five” is happening while Iran still conducts operations against Americans in Iraq. Obama's release of the “Irbil Five” to be able to return to the battlefield and kill more Americans is inexcusable, and it's the latest indication that we have found ourselves with an appeaser as President of the United States.

The release of the “Irbil Five” is happening while Iran still conducts operations against Americans in Iraq. Obama's release of the “Irbil Five” to be able to return to the battlefield and kill more Americans is inexcusable, and it's the latest indication that we have found ourselves with an appeaser as President of the United States.
There are a few things you need to know about President Obama’s shameful release on Thursday of the “Irbil Five” — Quds Force commanders from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) who were coordinating terrorist attacks in Iraq that have killed hundreds — yes, hundreds — of American soldiers and Marines.Obama took an oath to protect the American people. He has violated that oath.
First, of the 4,322 Americans killed in combat in Iraq since 2003, 10 percent of them (i.e., more than 400) have been murdered by a single type of weapon alone, a weapon that is supplied by Iran for the singular purpose of murdering Americans. As Steve Schippert explains at NRO’s military blog, the Tank, the weapon is “the EFP (Explosively Formed Penetrator), designed by Iran’s IRGC specifically to penetrate the armor of the M1 Abrams main battle tank and, consequently, everything else deployed in the field.” Understand: This does not mean Iran has killed only 400 Americans in Iraq. The number killed and wounded at the mullahs’ direction is far higher than that — likely multiples of that — when factoring in the IRGC’s other tactics, such as the mustering of Hezbollah-style Shiite terror cells.
Second, President Bush and our armed forces steadfastly refused demands by Iran and Iraq’s Maliki government for the release of the Irbil Five because Iran was continuing to coordinate terrorist operations against American forces in Iraq (and to aid Taliban operations against American forces in Afghanistan). Freeing the Quds operatives obviously would return the most effective, dedicated terrorist trainers to their grisly business.
