How ignorant are you? Or are you blind? Do you actually even look for facts or just open your mouth and let anything fall out?
Iran is already at war with Iraq.
Here are some facts!!!!!
Iran hasn't just been sending in its weapons, but its own military and intelligence PEOPLE to direct attacks and fights. WE and the IRAQIS have CAPTURED them and the Iraqi government has made deals to return many of them.
SEE THE NEWS CLIPS BELOW AND NOTICE HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON!
Maybe, Iraq, as a sovereign nation, recovering fast in the las year, getting its oil to the market with record revenues, and seeing its own military building and succeeding more in its effectiveness, is now ready to start telling the United States that it is facing facts. In spite of returning Iranian fighters/spies/killers/arms smugglers, etc., to try to be "nice" to Iran, Iran continues to wage war against the people and government of Iraq, that you hear reported every day.
It bankrolls and arms militias that constantly fight Iraq's police and military men - moreso than US military. They assassinate and bomb Iraqi government people and their families, etc..
Iraq is at war with Iran. The question is NOW is Iraq about to warn Iran that it will start taking the war to Iran itself - with the US helping?
WASHINGTON July 6, 2004 — American and Iraqi joint patrols, along with U.S. Special Operations (teams, captured two men with explosives in Baghdad on Monday who identified themselves as Iranian intelligence officers, FOX News has confirmed.
Senior officials said it was previously believed that Iran had officers inside Iraq stirring up violence, but this is the first time that self-proclaimed Iranian intelligence agents have been captured within the country.
The Defense officials also confirmed to FOX News that in recent days there has been significant success in tracking down "known bad guys" based on information from local citizens. While those captured aren't from the list of former regime members or from terror leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's (search) network, they are "active" bombers and organizers of recent violence.
The arrest of the two Iranians suspected of attempting to carry out a vehicle bombing has focused new attention on how Tehran is trying to protect its interests in the country it fought for eight years in a devastating war.
U.S. Says It Will Release Nine Of 20 Iranians Captured in Iraq

The United States will release nine of 20 Iranians captured in Iraq on the grounds that they no longer threaten American or Iraqi forces, Rear Adm. Gregory J. Smith said in Baghdad yesterday. But the U.S. military will continue to detain 11 other Iranians, including the highest-ranking or "most troubling," and three detained in a controversial U.S. raid in the northern city of Irbil in January, a senior U.S. official said.
All 20 detainees are known or suspected members of Iran's elite Quds Force, the arm of the Revolutionary Guard Corps responsible for Iran's foreign operations and recently sanctioned by the Bush administration as a supporter of terrorism, the officials said. Until yesterday, the United States had acknowledged holding only eight Iranians.
The status of the captured Iranians is so diplomatically and militarily sensitive that it has been reviewed by the White House. President Bush was briefed on the decision, which was made on the recommendation of military officials after weeks of deliberation, U.S. sources said.

BAGHDAD, Dec. 29 -- Two senior Iranian operatives who were detained by U.S. forces in Iraq and were strongly suspected of planning attacks against American military forces and Iraqi targets were expelled to Iran on Friday, according to U.S. and Iraqi officials.
The decision to free the men was made by the Iraqi government and has angered U.S. military officials who say the operatives were seeking to foment instability here.
"These are really serious people," said one U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity. "They were the target of a very focused raid based on intelligence, and it would be hard for one to believe that their activities weren't endorsed by the Iranian government. It's a situation that is obviously troubling."

Austrians sold 800 sniper rifles to Iran; U.S. protests
Such a rush to dhimmitude in Europe! Astonishing. From AP, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:
VIENNA, Austria -- Iran has contracted to buy hundreds of high-powered rifles from an Austrian firm, the company's owner said Wednesday. The sale drew an indirect rebuke from the United States, but Austrian government ministries said no laws were broken.
Wolfgang Fuerlinger, head of Steyr Mannlicher GmbH, confirmed the deal between his company and Iranian authorities and said U.S. Embassy officials had expressed concerns the arms could make their way to Iraq for use against American troops.
He said he could not confirm Austrian media reports that part of the order -- 800 long-range semiautomatic rifles that can penetrate thick ****l, along with high-tech snipers' scopes -- was flown to Iran last month.
The United States has strict embargoes in place against Iran on sales of weapons or technology or materials that could be used to make weapons.

Here's the latest information on the HS50 Steyr-Mannlicher .50 caliber sniper rifles, Austrian made, sold to Iran, and now being used in Iraq against American soldiers. According to the deal, the buyer was Iran's federal police force, specifically a special anti-drug unit and were to be used in fighting the drug trade, smugglers and dealers.
The Steyr HS.50s found in Baghdad have been traced through Iran back to the 2005 Austrian deal with the National Iranian Police Organization, presumably by using discernable serial numbers on the weapons.
