Patraeus complains of Iranian influence in Iraq. Ain't life a bitch.

[Postman]

"The rockets that were launched at the Green Zone yesterday, for example... were Iranian-provided, Iranian-made rockets," he said, adding that the groups that fired them were funded and trained by the Quds Force.


....So then the Palestinian grievance of US guilt for Israel using US made and provided weapons against them is now legitimate.

1. iranian influence in iraq...

isnt this what the u.s. wanted when we propped up the shia and fired all the sunni members of the baath party?

2. Actually no, they didn't even think about that until Saddam was hanging

from his neck. These people are biblically stupid in their planing on how to run a country. No thought put into anything, remember these are the same people who said 'the war would pay for itself'. All major ground operations are over. Yadda yadda yadda.

3. I always thought

that dismantling the army, police and civil service was designed to keep the war going (or at least justify the occupation).

4. He's an ass kissing liar.

He knows just what to say to make Cheney happy.

5. Iran actually supports the same government in Iraq that Bush does.

The corporate media/Neocons never mention that though.

6. Oh, look. We turned deadly enemies into allies.

Aren't we clever.

7. Well, since we handed them Iraq, what the hell else did these smart people expect?

Theocratic Imperialism. Most people don't know that the US fundies had all the missionary brochures and bibles all printed out in local dialects so we could run right in and christianize Iraq. Now, they're rotting away in church basements. And Iraq is now shiia.

Merry Christmas.
