The rockets used in the Green Zone attacks “were Iranian-provided, Iranian-made rockets,” General Petraeus said.
Can we dismiss this from the most successful US commander in Iraq since the conflict began? Further, is it wise to also dismiss the trend of Iranian command changes across the board to operational ground commanders? And, is it wise to forget that Muqtada al-Sadr announced his seclusion and withdrawal from command (at the behest of his Iranian masters)?
In order to minimize or dismiss Iran’s guiding hand in the fighting in Iraq, one must do all of these things. And this is completely illogical. Completely.
It's not entirely up to us whether or not we are in conflict with Iran.
People, we are only one half of the equation. The other half has been decided, like it or not. But for goodness sakes, don't take General David Petraeus's word for it.
Oh, no. Instead, cry out, "O Admiral Fallon, where art thou?" That should help.
