Iran says documents show U.S. backing "terrorists"
Iran says documents show U.S. backing "terrorists"

October 28, 2007

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran has access to evidence of U.S. support for terrorist groups in the Middle East, a senior Iranian official was quoted as saying on Sunday.

Iran's new chief nuclear negotiator, Saeed Jalili, made the allegation in comments to visiting Turkish Foreign Minister Ali Babacan, whose country may soon send troops to hunt down Kurdish guerrillas in northern Iraq.

Tehran says the rebels are operating in Iraq with U.S. forces present in the country and this shows Washington is refraining from tackling them.

Like Turkey, Iran also has faced cross-border attacks by Kurdish rebels and has shelled targets inside Iraq in response.

"Escalation of terrorism in the region is one of the direct results of the presence of occupiers in Iraq, particularly America," Jalili, an ally of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said according to the country's state broadcaster.

2. Can they also show that John Negroponte backed Iraqi death squads
...to create chaos and terror when he was sent to Iraq?

3. Who Haven't We Sold Arms To???
I recall hearing that the price of an M-16 was cheaper in Baghdad than a TV set and can be found anywhere. Seems like any and every war, the profiteers in the Military-Industrial complex have their hands all over most the weapons used.

This regime's conveluted "policy" in Iraq has put them as "allies" with one faction or another over the past 4 plus years...what do you think all that "training" for an Iraqi Army was all about? There were constant reports of these "soldiers" deserting after they got training and weapons and were working for one militia or another.

4. This would be quite the scam on the American people, wouldn't it?
Start a war based on lies.

Give no bid war contracts to your cronies.

Supply the "enemy" (whoever that is) with weapons.

Drag it out as long as possible.
