One of the armor-piercing roadside bombs in Iraq has a nickname among the militants who place the device. They call it the Najadia, a short variation on the long name of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. "My group and I believe honestly in fighting the Americans - and getting financial benefit out of it," says Hussein Ali, an Iraqi Shi'ite guerrilla who recounted a journey to Iran for training in explosives in an interview with TIME. "We became very professional in planting and using the mine called BMZ2, which is a Russian mine modified in Iran for use against the American armor."

Well, well.

In the face of these U.S. assertions, the Iraqi government publicly says it has no evidence of an Iranian training program for Iraqi militants. "We don't have the proof that the American have," says Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh.

Oh, zrabbat biha! The Iraqi government knows darn good and well the Iranians are in here stirring things up by funding and training terrorists.

Until Iran is properly dealt with and convinced that it will not take Iraq for its own, peace here won't be fully achieved.

I couldn't agree more. It is a shame the Iraqi are fiddling around the pool. They should be more concerned with setting up the conditions to provide all the good reasons for us to stay and protect them from any Iranian military influence until they are fully able to defend their borders themselves.
