Report: Iran Attempted to Extort Britain, Promising Fewer Attacks Against Troops Serving in Iraq if Britain Backed off Demands for Nuke Stoppage

Ballsy:

February 24, 2009: Britain has revealed that, when British troops were under heavy attack in southern Iraq in 2006-7, Iran offered to stop these attacks if Britain would stop trying to halt Iran's nuclear weapons program.

Britain refused the Iranian offer, and eventually the attacks stopped because British and Iraqi troops killed or arrested most of the terrorists. British and American special operations forces also began working inside Iran, and it was Iran that was persuaded to back off.

Just to underscore how important Iran's nukes are to them -- and to highlight the puerile joke of a position held by liberals that merely talking to Iran will help them see the light.

Thanks to Arthur.
