BAGHDAD, Feb 20 (Reuters) - The American ambassador to Iraq accused Iran on Monday of training and providing weapons to militias operating in Iraq.

"Iran has another policy as well: to work with militias, provide training and provide weapons to extremist groups, direct and indirectly," Zalmay Khalilzad told reporters after a news conference.

Later today we will see reports from the Iranians and other Arab news agencies calling for the assasination of anyone who calls them a terrorist state.

Maybe we should be more sensitive to their reaction to such provocations. /sarcasm

As i have stated before and i believe with all my heart. Our leaders are derelict in their duties. Arming the Iranian resistance should be job 1. Lets compete evenly for heavens sake, you arm a suicide bomber and we arm a band of revolutionists in your country, thats fair to me.

Well if the American ambassador does not have the balls to call them "terrorist" then he needs to STFU!.

"training and providing weapons to militias operating in Iraq"

I'm Shocked, SHOCKED I TELL YA!

Maybe we should see if the AK-47 ammo isn't manufactured in China while we're at it.

What was it that Prez Bush said years ago about siding with Terrorists?

Oh I forget, these are insurgents.

Never mind.
