Devious Iranians Undermine the Surge
Bush’s plan for a do-over in Baghdad has hit a snag. Just as he’s setting up for an April war against Iran for their covert support of Iraqis, the Iranian government went overt, offering to help Iraq with security, reconstruction and a financial institution.
This will certainly lead to accusations that Iran is meddling in Iraq’s business, which has formerly been a right reserved only to George Bush. And it’ll not be well-received by Sunnis, who have previously led the insurgent attacks on American troops. Which means Bush and the Sunnis will now be united more often than brokeback cowbuddies at a Ba’ath house.
Hiding in plain sight means Bush will be stymied, unsure of what to do with a government refusing to act in secrecy. I don’t trust either government to act in the best interests of Iraqis or their own citizens. Both share a penchant for denying holocausts. And both have caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis.
