U.S. Ambassador: Iran Inciting Iraq AttacksPosted on Aug 12, 2006“Iran is pressing Shiite militias here to step up attacks against the American-led forces in retaliation for the Israeli assault on Lebanon, the American ambassador to Iraq said Friday,” according to the N.Y. Times. It remains to be seen whether the looming peace deal between Israel and Hezbollah will blunt Iran’s alleged fomentation of violence.

The ambassador’s got it backward. It’s the American-Israeli axis that’s inciting Iraqi resistance. Not only Iraqi resistance, but Lebanese, Palestinian, the entire Arab-Islamic world. If the ambasador really was concerned about all these attacks, he’d be advising our government to get out of Iraq now and to come out in favor of justice for the Palestinian people. Immediately these attacks that he’s attributing to Iran will decrease if not completely stop. Why doesn’t the ambassador do this? Empire, that’s why. .

How is it possible that the U.S. Ambassador can claim Iran is behide the attacks if he can not give us any proof. Sounds like another tall tale from the folks that gave us the weapons of mass destruction.

This is idiotic, would anyone believe that Iran would have to be involved in stirring up anti USAIsrael sentiment anywhere in the Arab world? The Shia hate IsraelUsa as much as any Muslim. There are Muslims all over the world mobilizing to fight the USAIsreal.
