Rumsfeld Says Iranian Forces In Iraq (Right next to all the WMDs)
http://www.postchronicle.com/news/security/article_2129672.shtml

<snip>Rumsfeld has long said that Iran was not being "helpful" in Iraq, but Tuesday was the first time he suggested the meddling is a result of official government policy.

"I will say this about Iran. They are currently putting people into Iraq to do things that are harmful to the future of Iraq. And we know it, and it is something that they, I think, will look back on as having been an error in judgment," Rumsfeld said at a Pentagon press conference.

Pressed for details, he said: "They're putting Iranian Qods Force-type people into the country ... The Revolutionary Guard types."

1. I think WE put people "into Iraq to do things that are harmful to the
future of Iraq" first.

Senile old bastid.

2. If some bullies were picking on your neighbor
No matter how well you got along with that neighbor, I would think you might react the same way.

Hey, they just want to fight us over there so they don't have to fight us at home, right?

constantly about Iraq, Afghanistan, bin Laden and everything else, they've sold us right down the river, to continue their imperialism, while we pay for it all with our taxes (certainly not the rich) and the death of our kids in the military (because BushCo made sure there's no jobs here) and sovereign civilians in oil countries...

These fuckers will never stop their sick imperialistic aggressions...they are truly wicked and greedy!!!

5. I hate to say it, but he is right...
"Did Iran Use Chalabi to Lure U.S. into Iraq?

The Bush administration's disenchantment with its onetime favorite Iraqi client, Ahmad Chalabi (search), has centered on the explosive allegation that he and his associates may have forwarded highly classified U.S. information to the Islamist government in Iran.

Specifically, Chalabi and his cohorts are accused of informing Tehran (search) that the United States had broken the communications code of Iran's intelligence service. If true, this could become the most prominent espionage episode since the Alger Hiss (search) case in the late 1940s, for it raises the question of which official in the U.S. government passed such sensitive information to Chalabi."

7. He should go shake hands with saddam again.
They are once again in agreement and both probably correct. We opened the door for anti-Saddam Iraqis who happened to be in exile in Iran. We set up Chalabi to be a player. We have been using our forces to assist in destroying the Sunnis.

11. No doubt the Iranians are thinking...Lets fight them there so we don't
have to fight them at home!

Perhaps they are using "preemption!"
