Military official: Iranian millions funding insurgency (CNN)
http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/09/28/iraq.iran/index.html

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A Shiite Muslim militia involved in the warfare between Sunni and Shiites in Iraq has received "millions of dollars" and an assortment of weaponry from Iran, a senior U.S. military official says.

Uh huh, you can fool some of the sheeple some of the time. Who is this Senior US Military Official? He's anonymous... Maybe Rummy the dummy? This is just another BS piece to convince the Sheeple that we have reason to invade/bomb Iran.

Bullshit!

Dap

4. Correction - American $$100's of BILLIONS funding the Occupation of Iraq
.

.

Close to half a Trillion if I remember right.

Imagine how many in the US could have decent Health Care with that kind of $$ ??

And how may 10's of thousands of innocent Iraqis would still be alive . . ?

7. That's their whole game plan.
Just like under Reagan. If you piss away all the money over there, we can't spend it on things like national health care and other social programs over here. They're continuing to screw the poor and middle class. Yet, they'll continue to push for tax cuts for the rich.
