CIA director says Iran wants to kill Americans in Iraq
Source: AP

MANHATTAN, Kan. - CIA Director Michael Hayden said Wednesday that Iranian policy, at the highest government level, is to help kill Americans in Iraq, the boldest pronouncement of Iranian involvement by a U.S. official to date.

Hayden made the statement in response to a student question while delivering the Landon Lecture at Kansas State University.

"It is my opinion, it is the policy of the Iranian government, approved to highest level of that government, to facilitate the killing of Americans in Iraq," Hayden said. "Just make sure there's clarity on that."

In recent weeks, U.S. officials have ratcheted up their complaints that Iran is increasing its efforts to supply weapons and training to militants in Iraq.

2. Of course he does
Why is a General in charge of the CIA after the Iraq Debacle Proved military "intelligence" was at fault in the Invasion. They should make him PROVE it absolutely, as he said it. And when he doesn't Fire his sorry ass.

One more Surge.
One more War.
One more Rate Cut.
One more Loan.

And everything will be fine.
