US officials: Decision on confronting Iran up to Iraq
Source: AP

WASHINGTON (AP) — Iraqi leaders have been given the latest U.S. evidence of Iranian support for militias inside Iraq, and Baghdad will decide what to do about it, two senior Pentagon officials said Wednesday.

Marine Lt. Gen. John Sattler, director of strategy, plans and policy for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki possesses the evidence, which other officials said contradicts Tehran's stated commitment to stop providing arms, weapons technology and training to Shiite militias inside Iraq.

"It's in Prime Minister al-Maliki's hands right now, the evidence as to whether or not he's been lied to — bald-faced lied to — by the Iranian government," Sattler told a Pentagon news conference.

"The evidence inside Baghdad has been shared with the Iraqi leadership, and that's where it stands right now," he added.

Man o man... I dream the day we implicate everyone of these sick fuckers for starting wars. It's time for a bit of justice.

is very important to me. I know that our next President is going to be buried in trying to get this country back on track, but we can't just let the thugs that did this walk away scott free IMO.

10. I Understand Where You are Coming From...
This government of ours is extremely corrupt and we can see they serve the wealthy elite or business interests that bribe them... yeah, I know. Some like to call it "lobbying". I call it bribery...

Arguing a case by using petitions is wholly Democratic. We need to remove money from the equation as much as possible.

4. Let's you and him fight
Maliki doesn't wipe his ass without getting permission from cheney first. So I wonder what he might have to say about confronting Iran?
