US to build military base on Iraq-Iran border

8 minutes ago

BAGHDAD (AFP) - The US military said on Monday that it is to build a base on Iraq's border with Iran to stem what it charges is rampant smuggling of weapons and fighters.

The base, which the military describes as a "life support area", will be set up near the headquarters of the Department of Border Enforcement in Badrah, in the central province of Wasit.

The province, currently the theatre of a massive US-led military crackdown targeting Shiite militiamen allegedly involved in weapons smuggling, shares a 200 kilometre (125 mile) border with Iran.

It said the base is "not really permanent, although it will be manned 24/7 and will be used for as long as necessary."

1. As long as necessary? That's comforting

I take it as long as necessary means more or less forever.

3. A "Life Support Area"?

no doubt for the "peace officers" to "protect" us against the "brown menace." The MSM is sounding more and more like the old Pravda.

7. A bunch of US troops are about to be sacrificed in order to create

a Beirut-type incident which will get everybody pissed off at iran.

Then we won't object when the long planned nuking takes place.

8. Border incidents. How very Nazi of them.

Let's see, Hitler created border incidents with dead concentration camp inmates dressed up as Polish or French soldiers or whatever soldiers were on the border they were trying to create an incident with as well as a few dead Germans. Then they would claim the country involved conducted a raid on a German target across the border in Germany killing a few Germans before the Germans retaliated killed more of them. Then reporters and other officials were brought to the staged incident to recoil in shock and horror and of course to give Hitler a platform to enrage the German people so that he could get them to back an invasion on said offending country. Stay tuned.
