Iran: Let's you and him fight

Jules Crittenden:

Iran just doesn't want to fight it. The New York Sun reports that the U.S. military has captured documents providing evidence that Iran is backing Shiite militias and Sunni insurgents. Against each other.

Now that doesn't make sense, does it? Shiite Iran backing Sunni insurgents who kill Shiite Iraqis. Except that until last year, they weren't fighting each other, at least not enough, and that didn't suit Iran at all.

This is because Iran benefits from chaos and violence that (a) ties down the United States and could lead to U.S. political failure in Iraq, and (b) ties down Iraq in Iraq and could lead to Iraqi political failure in Iraq. Perfect conditions for a Shiite strongman/Iranian stooge to take power in 60 percent Shiite Iraq. But it's a win-win as long as chaos and unspeakable violence continue. Iran is setting the conditions to discredit the United States, boot the United States from from the region, and weaken the United States globally, while dominating Iraq and ultimately the Arab world. Where the rest of the oil is.

There is more with links to other comments on the NY Sun piece. This is my post on the Sun revelations.

We cannot continue to ignore the fact that Iran has been in a covert war with the US since Jimmy Carter was in office. They have used their proxies to murder Marines in Lebanon and Air Force personnel in Saudi Arabia. The Sun reveals their participation in clandestine war against us in Iraq. Bin Laden declared war against the US in the 90's and we pretty well ignored him until late 2001. We should quit ignoring Iran's obvious war against us.
