We have a moral right to attack Iran for this just like the Soviets had a moral right to attack the U.S. for arming Afghani insurgents in Afghanistan in the 80s. One more thing. Any strategist would easily assume that a border country would become actively involved when another nation invades their neighbor. What exactly was the pre-war plan that Bush put in place to make sure Iran wouldn't become involved? Anything? Or, is this just another sign of the incompetence of the Bush Administration?
And, Cons, if you want us to bomb Iran for doing something that the Bush Admin forgot to plan for, do you support $8.00 gas? Look at your Ford F150 and say your goodbyes to it.

Iran is doing a good job of turning it's own people againist them, we should do what we can to support this.

2 million refugees from Iraq - going to Iraq and Syria. It's common sense that these people may re-engage with their own country, even fighting for their country. To think that wouldn't be the case is stupid. Then blaming the syrians and Iranians for the massive carnage and chaos is about as rich as it gets.

We should be apologising to Syria and Iran for landing them with millions of refugees.

Iran has clearly been operating on the principle of "Its not what you know, its what you can prove!" and aiding in the killing of Americans. Despite the fact that we may need to leave Iraq, I find that principle unacceptable! Iran can't kill Americans with impunity! Even if the U.S. does not go to war with Iran over it, the U.S. can't let Iran get away with it either. The U.S. must leave its calling card with Iran! Maybe the U.S. should not be in Iraq but Iran should not be in Iraq either, especially killing us while they are there! The U.S. has known all along what Iran is doing and don't need any Generals to confirm it! Iran is acting like we won't deal with them but enough is enough!

Another US general spreading pointless BS, maybe Bushit will reward him with another star if he is a good little lapdog.

Anyone who is struggling to fight an occupying force will accept help from anyone offering it, doesn't need a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

Get the hell out of Iraq, and the groups there won't have the legitimate need to fight you.
