It's not happening AT THIS TIME. It happened last September, at least according to the linked article.It's only being RELEASED now (by unnamed sources, no less) because of what's happening now with Iran. But the fact that no one will put their name behind it means it either didn't happen the way the article claims or it didn't happen. @geekee, you pretty much made my point for me. If Bush was trying to prove to us stupid liberals that Iran was really fighting us in Iraq, then he could have publicized this bit of news anytime between September last year, the elections, and now. He didn't, therefore either he has no idea what his own military is doing, or it's not true.
"Yes Iran has been operating in Iraq for some time"Yes, Iran has been operating inside Iraq since long before we invaded. They were waging a full-on war with Iraq for many years and certainly had allies within the country, trying to subvert Saddam. If we didn't know that Iran was operating inside Iraq before we invaded, then we're idiots. In other words, any actions by Iran inside Iraq should at least have been expected. This surprise and outrage by the Administration is either fake or born of ignorance.
They're as qualified to comment as the 'nameless' sources who verified the Jamil Hussein debacle (funny how those mosques are still standing, isn't it) and numerous other questionable media reports that are sworn to as gospel truth.
I'm so fed up with kids that talk and talk and auto-congratualte themselves while actually talking of KILLING people.Doh ! you are just as misinformed as I am : you don't have a simple CLUE what you're talking about. First smart move would be to realize it. Keeping it shut would be second.Do your country and yourself a favor : stop talking about WAR as if you were going there yourself.
Actually, there was a pact we signed after the hostages were freed prohibiting the US from interfering with Iran in domestic affairs. It's called the Algiers Accord. An invasion, in my opinion, would be a domestic affair.

Chamberlain played a similar game. Anyone remember how well that worked out?

"More propoganda by Bush to go to war with Iran."More craven cowardice by the Left.
