| 'Iran-armed militia behind 3/4 of Iraq attacks' |
| 2007-08-06 |
| Rogue Shiite militia fighters said to be armed and trained by Iran were responsible for nearly three-quarters of attacks that killed or wounded Americans in Baghdad last month, the No. 2 US commander in Iraq said Sunday. Lt. Gen. Raymond Odierno said factions that have broken away from radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army were believed responsible for most of the attacks. He said military successes against al-Qaida had left a void that was being filled by the rogue militiamen. He also blamed Iran for stepping up support for the Shiite fighters in an attempt to influence opinions in Washington ahead of a pivotal progress report on Iraq next month. "We knew this was coming, but there's been a shift," Odierno told The Associated Press in an interview. |

| #4 'Iran-armed militia behind 3/4 of Iraq attacks' According to rigorous computational analysis, my calculations reveal that the inverse proportional reciprocative coefficient of this equation involves turning 3/4 of Iran into rubble. Is there a lower bound on the inability of Islamo-nutters to get along with anyone? There most certainly is. The lower bound of inability to coexist is derived when each and every Muslim in this world has their hands wrapped around the throat of another Muslim. |
