Later Thursday, Tehran reported three large explosions shaking the southern town of Khorramshahr north of the oil port of Abadan on the Shatt al-Arb waterway. DEBKAfile: Khorramshahr, which faces the Iraqi town of Basra, is one of the key towns from which Iran delivers smuggled fighters, weapons and explosives to its Shiite supporters in Iraq. Our sources also report that some hours before President George W. Bush’s policy speech, a series of explosions were heard in Iranian Balochistan. Tehran imposed a blackout on the incident. These statements and events tie in closely with the new Iraq strategy announced by the US president of confronting Iran and Syria for “allowing networks to use their territory to attack US forces.”

Bush took his eye off Al Qaida 4 years ago, pal. You are in complete denial if you think invading Iraq had anything to do with the War On Terror. Yet I don't blame you entirely. Fox News dishonestly called the Iraq invasion "the war on terror" for years. There are huge wave of Bushie propaganda trying to link Saddam and Iraq to Al Qaida and 9-11. But none of it was true. Some Al Qaida allies like Zarqawi only came to Iraq after Bush dared them to attack us there. Remember the "bring it on!" speech? Even Bush admits it's the stupidest thing he ever said. But another really stupid speech was "the "axis of evil". That speech alone more than anything else turned Iran into a much more hostile nation and now there's nothing much we can do about it.
