The Iran-Iraq connection
http://abcnews.go.com/International/...C-RSSFeeds0312
We all know it exists and has existed. A buddy of mine was killed by Iranian made weapon when the war in Iraq was young. Tony Blair has publicly stated that Iran is shipping weapons and we do nothing. So much for Bush Doctrine, eh? "If you support a terrorist you are a terrorist. What a bunch of malarkey. We've been dealing with Iran and NK heavily for sometime now.
Doctrine should be we might get to you eventually once our forces aren't thin and you're an enemy we think we can beat easily. In the meantime feel free to supply the Shia with containers hidden among the thousands of trucks that cross the Iraq border, gear up with nukes, and openly support Hizbollah.
If we continue down this path we'll only have two options I can think of right now:
1) For every Iranian made weapon we find we drop one bomb on Iran. (Won't happen)
2) Let Iran deal with the entire mess because we're already allowing them to do so much behind our backs.

I like option 2...that's apparently what they want too. The only problem is then Iraq and Iran really will have WMDs in the form of intercontinental nucs...

The US put the autocratic Mohammad Reza Shah back on his throne, building him up as an absolute monarch with a well-trained secret police and jails overflowing with prisoners of conscience. "
I'd bet biggest gun's the Iranian's have hang off the sides of this guy...
