40% of foreign fighters in Iraq are Saudis

If I recall correctly, the article states that ZERO of the foreign fighters captured in iraq are iranian.

And of the 25,000 people arrested in iraq under mere suspicion of aiding insurgents, eleven are iranian. Eleven out of 25,000.

Yes arrested by the Shiite dominated government in Iraq, keeping in mind that Iranians are Shiites.

No I think the lefties should go with Desh's suggestion and Michael Moore's, that the problem is where they were born, because so many were born in Saudi Arabia, well that is your problem, so go attack them. It makes sense.
Teach those mofos not to have children that turn out bad.

If I recall the article correctly, virtrually 100% of the arrests, are of sunnis. Not of shia. Primarily Saudis, Libyans, Syrian, Yemenese. There's only eleven iranians ever arrested, out of the 25,000 arrested.

No, I don't favor bombing Saudi Arabia.

Well at least until intern ib1 gets caught under president Hillary's desk. Then it's distractio....er...bombs away!
 
So then Dano is your claim that the Shia led government in Iraq is complicit with the Shia insurgents from Iran and there for support the Iranians? Because if that is the case, then we have assured an Islamic Republic by overthrowing Saddam. Wow Mission Accomplished indeed!
 
The reality is that if we allow them to select their own government, there will in all likelihood be another Islamic Republic. This is what we get for taking too long to work toward a new form of energy and allowing ourselves to remain complacent with the status quo. America... What happened to your visionaries?

Shiites in S. Iraq Rebuke Tehran
Petition Calls for U.N. Probe Into Iran's Influence, Sheiks Say

BAGHDAD, Nov. 21 -- More than 300,000 Shiite Muslims from southern Iraq have signed a petition condemning Iran for fomenting violence in Iraq, according to a group of sheiks leading the campaign.

"The Iranians, in fact, have taken over all of south Iraq," said a senior tribal leader from the south who spoke on condition of anonymity because he feared for his life. "Their influence is everywhere."

The unusually organized Iraqi rebuke illustrates the divisions that Iran has provoked among Iraq's majority Shiites. The prime minister and major political blocs are closely tied to Iran, but the petition organizers said many citizens are fiercely opposed to Iranian meddling in Iraqi affairs.

Several sheiks leading the campaign traveled to the capital from the southern province of Diwaniyah and showed The Washington Post and other news organizations an electronic file filled with images of signatures they said endorsed the petition. Their effort is being supported by the People's Mujaheddin Organization of Iran, or Mujaheddin-e Khalq, an Iranian opposition group that is listed by the U.S. government as a terrorist organization but that nonetheless enjoys U.S. military protection in Iraq.

The petition, which the organizers said was signed by 600 sheiks, calls on the United Nations to send a delegation to investigate what it termed crimes committed by Iran and its proxies in southern Iraq.

"The most painful stab in the back of the Shiites in Iraq by the Iranian regime has been its shameful abuse of Shiite religion to achieve its ominous end," the sheiks said a statement. "The only solution and hopeful prospect for Iraq, and in particular the southern provinces, is the eviction of the Iranian regime from our homeland."

The campaign echoes repeated pronouncements by U.S. officials that Iran has been instigating violence in Iraq and allowing weapons to flow across the border, though U.S. officials have said in recent weeks that Iran appeared to be honoring a pledge to clamp down on weapons smuggling....
