Right ... Iranians in Iraq is 'bad'.
Meanwhile ... Saudis in Iraq is 'good' - or, at least, the Bush administration doesn't say its bad, because the Bush administration doesn't say ANYTHING about it.
Saudis are using oil revenues to fund the Suni insurgents, because the Saudis are Suni. They don't want the Shia to control Iraq.
So, its ok for the Saudis to support insurgents in Iraq, but its not ok for ANY Iranians to be in Iraq. Also very ironic since the current Iraqi government is primarily Shia.
Such a MESS ....

Bush is going to froce Iran into a war one way or the other. If americans will not give him the support and money he needs, he'll force Iran to do something to provoke an american retalitory strike, even if he uses Israel to perform another false flag american attack, which is likely.

  bush/cheney are doing their best to telegraph their plan to the world. if the world does nothing to stop them, they can argue that they have implicit agreement to go ahead and start ww3. congress and the media are the two cogs that could object. it looks grim.

Continue the attack on our enemy, Iran! REMEMBER the iranians took over our Embassy in Tehran and humiliated and abused OUR AMERICAN REPRESENTATIVES WITH DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY.
I am Anti-Bush concerning this war but we should not be ashamed or defensive about going after the Iranians.
They are a Theocracy that, because of Bush, will turn Iraq into a puppet satelite based on shia theocracy.
My opinion, they threatened us first and are continuing to provide logistics to the shias in Iraq. Go after them whenever or wherever they are, even in their own embassy in Iraq, paybacks a bitch. Now I premise this article by saying no to any invasion into Iran. Boy, has Bush made a mess of everything in the middle east.

Bush will stop at nothing to get us into a war with Iran. How we must look to the rest of the world! Just disgraceful. If ya can't win the first two, why not try a third? Is the third time really a charm, or is just more senseless death and destruction because Israel demands it? I hope somebody in Washington gets a sack, and stands up to Israel just once, and says NO MORE! We are not going to be killing or dying anymore for you, or suffering any further debt, so you can have the whole territory! Enough is enough!

OldRusty, you are a throwback to the Roman Empire, remember what happened to their civilization.
We should not be the worlds policemen. Why should we continue to expend our incomes and American deaths to advance the cause of Moral Majority.
I think not, unless you want to be attributed to history as one more, ROMAN EMPIRE. If as in world war 2, we are attacked without provocation then that is the time to react.
