Petraeus: Iran still fueling war
isn't America fueling this war also?

~snip~FORWARD OPERATING BASE CALDWELL, Iraq (CNN) -- Although America's top general in Iraq called al Qaeda "the wolf closest to the sled," he said sectarian fighting among militias fueled by Iran could be the biggest long-term challenge for Iraq.

He said he is in a "show-me mode," waiting to see if Iran honors a pledge to stop the flow of arms, money and training from Iran into Iraq that has helped both Shiite and Sunni militants.

6. How is it, the USA military can't seem to control Iranian border? Is it for lack of really trying?
Edited on Sun Oct-07-07 08:31 AM by cryingshame
You'd almost think the civilian leadership has commanded the military to allow a porous border w/Iran.

8. And now, due to the Moveon vote, it's going to be difficult to criticize Patreaus as being
Shrub's lapdog and propaganda meister.

11. don't you understand....
there were no weapons of any kind in Iraq prior to the invasion....they were a peace-loving people and the Iranians are doing this to them. No only were there no WMD's, but no artilliery, no gunpowder, no rifles, grenades, or anything else.

:sarcasm:
