This "discovery" of Iranian "agents" inside Iraq is likely part of the administration's on-going efforts to start a war with Iran by early spring of 2007.
It is highly unlikely that the Iraqis need any "advise" on war making or politics...as Iran and Iraq fought a long war under Saddam...
And the Iraqi Shia don't seem deficient in political skills...or in venting their bile about the bad old days during the US backed Saddam/Sunni administration.
Back then Saddam was the darling of the CIA for the American push against the Iranian Revoluation which started in the 1970's.
Furthermore, it is not likely that the American military can stop the Iranian influence over their co-religionists, the Shia of southern Iraq, as the ties between these two groups go back for centuries.
Worse, this eventuality should have been considered by the so-called "war planners" in Washington...long before this late date!
BUT THE DRIP, DRIP, DRIP OF WAR TALK AND WAR NEWS CONCERNING IRAN IS NOT STOPPABLE...
DUBYA SIMPLY HAS TO "DOUBLE DOWN" TO WIN...
OR, HE FACES A NASTY WAR CRIMES TRAIL...DEMANDED BY THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY... AFTER HE IS OUT OF OFFICE...
BECAUSE THE WINNERS ALWAYS WRITE THE HISTORY BOOKS...AND THE LOSERS ARE NEVER "RIGHT." THUS IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN...AND BUSH AND CHENEY KNOW IT WELL.
