Iran has transferred millions of dollars as well as weapons and expertise to Iraq's Mahdi Army.
Officials said the Mahdi Army has become a leading Iranian surrogate in Iraq. They said Mahdi fighters have been trained and equipped in Iran in a move meant to avoid deployment of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps soldiers in Iraq.
"We're having to block Shi'ite extremists from linking with Iran." Maj. Gen. Richard Zahner, deputy chief of staff of intelligence for Multinational Forces in Iraq, said.
Zahner told a briefing on Sept. 27 that Iran has sought to dominate Iraq. He said Iran has been developing the Mahdi Army as well as splinter groups that no longer came under the umbrella of Shi'ite cleric Moqtada Sadr.
Iran 'using British banks to channel money to terrorists'
And I've been wondering if Iran's been investing in Iraqi banks.
When are we going to realize we are at war with Iran, in Iraq.
The U.S. needs to arm and finance all the opposition groups in Iran.
You're right. Spread the word...
>>>When are we going to realize we are at war with Iran, in Iraq.
...about the same time that we realize that we were at war with China, in North Korea.>>>
Yep.
Simply sink the two submerged Iranian submarines that regularly tail the Gulf fleet. Two SSN-fired ADCAPs could destroy both in a heartbeat with no survivors.
Claim the Iranians violated undersea rules of engagement. Who would effin' know?
I am middle class. Democrats always raise my taxes. They are lying.
We probably are.
If you punch iran in the jaw, 60% of mideasts problems will go away, as will the bulk of Iraqs.
I pray you are right.
Heh, excellent answer.
