Iraq Shiite pol defends Iran against US

By SAMEER N. YACOUB, Associated Press Writer 2 hours, 21 minutes ago

A draft bill to ease curbs on ex-Saddam Hussein loyalists in government services also drew sharp criticism from Shiite lawmakers, opening old wounds at a time when the United States is pressing the Iraqis for compromise for the sake of national unity.

The Americans have long accused the Iranians of arming and training Shiite militias, including some linked to the U.S.-backed government of Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

U.S. officials have also alleged that Iran has provided weapons used to kill Americans — a charge the Iranians vehemently deny.

4. I'll bet

you won't see much about this on the MSM. Finally the people that bush is "helping" with his spread of democracy are coming forward and telling the world that bush is full of crap!
I personally can't see a problem with re-Baathification, can you?:sarcasm:
The Iranians have been dealing with the IAEA for quite sometime and the IAEA has closed some more books on the Iranian nuclear program. As far as anyone knows Iran is NOT centrifuging uranium to construct bombs. That has been said over and over again. The Iranians are helping to slow border traffic down between Iraq and Iran.
Iran is not a trustworthy country for sure but there is NO PROOF. JUST LIKE IRAQ.
