General David Petraeus, American Hero and commander of the forces in Iraq, is bringing his words to bear on Iran and its "ambassador." Here is the story from FoxNews:Gen. David Petraeus laid further blame on Iran for violence in Iraq, charging that Tehran's ambassador to Baghdad was once a member of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards force, Reuters news service reported Sunday.
Petraeus added that Iran has been aiding Iraqi rebels with training and gifts of high-powered weaponry.
"They are responsible for providing the weapons, the training, the funding and in some cases the direction for operations that have indeed killed U.S. soldiers," Petraeus said.
Without citing any specific intelligence, Petraeus labeled Hassan Kazemi-Qomi, Iran's envoy to Baghdad, as a former member of the Revolutionary Guards Quds force.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry dismissed the “baseless” accusations, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency.
"They repeatedly link those arrested or killed in the bombardments with the Quds force. If they can, they announce names of those people or hand over the names to the Islamic Republic of Iran," Mohammad-Ali Hosseini told IRNA.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps has been under intense scrutiny by U.S. officials. In August, President Bush signed an executive order branding them as a “specially designated global terrorist.”
What do you want to bet moveon.org and the MSM take Iran's side? Of course, this is not a surprise to anyone who is rational and knows Iran's history and the views of its psycho leader.
