1. Iranians should be ashamed....
DR ,   Florida, USA   (01.04.07)
their own leader plays with Arab and Muslim lives daily. Look at what has happened in Lebanon and Iraq. This is in large part thanks to Ahmedinejad and the Iranian regime. When will Muslims across the world wake up, open their eyes and say "enough"??? How many people need to die before eyes are opened?
2. Jews also played the same way
Steve ,   USA   (01.04.07)
B"H The secular versus religious Jews are also played the same way. Tensions are sowed on both sides for strife, internal war and dispute. The net effect is to weaken the collective peace. Not to mention the Jews versus the Arabs being played in this manner continuously to subdue both people. This is not unique to Iraq. It is time for internal peace to stop being played like this.
3. NO BIG SURPRISES HERE...

4. DR..........ALREADY CONCLUDED?#1
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (01.04.07)
DR, before waiting for reaction and more thorough investigation into the report,you have already drawn a conclusion.This shows how biased you are.Anyway, a game has been started whereby somehow an attempt is being made to isolate Iran.Some more cards are going to be played to achieve some kind of consensus in the region to make sure that Iran is somehow implicated.so wait to hear some more,DR.
5. Iraq would not be susceptible to iranian influence
USA   (01.04.07)
if it truly had a secular government. Allowing religious affiliation to determine the balance of power in government runs contrary to the principles of Democracy and is a recipe for failure and disaster. The central government in Iraq has limited authority and is unable to control its internal factions let alone its sovereign borders. Will someone please send a few constitutional experts over there to help them develop a rule of law and outline how the government is going to function effectively? Please! Before it is too late!..
6. Realpolitik, baby
Cameron ,   USA   (01.04.07)
all those bodies on the ground are merely a means to a greater end,right Tehran?

They've already discovered countless IED's with the revolutionary trademark, so they've been training them the last few years. How much evidence is required by you, an Invasion. Should we await a letter from the state. Don't you get tired of calling everyone a racist or biased that has a dislike for extremist muslims. You must have one hell of a day living in the UK. Ever hear the term behind enemy lines. Don't bother calling me racist either, everyone knows I don't like you.
8. #4, nothing left to investigate...
Chatich   (01.04.07)
...about dinnerjacket. His own words and actions are more telling than any "reaction and more thorough investigation into the report" could ever be. Of course DR is biased about dinnerjacket. So am I. The same way a mouse is biased about a snake.
9. Bush's New Iraq Stratigy
713 ,   Seattle US   (01.04.07)
BOMB IRAN!!! enough said... See, people. I don't just disagree with Israel's policy with PA, but also Bush's policy with Iraq, AND IRAN'S MIDDLE EAST POLICY...WWWWOOOOWWWW you all thought I was just one sided.....hehehe but I disagree with Iran's policy the most, I just haven't found a blog that allowed me to say it!

Do you think it possible the Iraq strategy and the Afghan strategy is the Iran positional strategy, they did just send another naval fleet there as well. And NATO is expanding operations to the area. Do you think it's possible that this is the final stages of an overall plan that has spanned 130-150 years. Are you familiar with Albert Pike?
11. who is playing whom?
v. n.y. ,   usa   (01.05.07)
yes, jews may be played that way as well. everyone is played. however, you do not see ANYONE of ANY RELIGION behave as the muslims do! jews of different religious affiliations do not roam the streets of israel and the european continent beheading each other, excecuting each other, burning cars and busses, bombing their neighbors. get what i mean? and, you do not see christians of any affiliation doing so either. it is only the muslims.....and they are played by their own people, the people they ellect to power to represent them, the people they idolize and support. ppor fools!

the DR didn't tell us anything new, sir! we, the intelligent people of the world have seen this iranian process in lebanon through hizbullah and in iraq many years ago. it is common knowledge iran is in fact behind most of the unrest in the middle east and iraq, playing both sides of the coin, letting arabs believe iran is fighting for their cause. bull s*t, all! iran doesn't give a damn about any muslims of the world. if it did, it would strive for peace instead of mallicious epithets and military training and support of killer gangs, one against each other in iraq. you know it, i know it and the world knows it. we do not need doccuments to prove what we already know. whether the west chooses to use this information to, as you say, isolate iran, the information isn't new! the public already knows it. it's a pity the muslims do not know it nor understand how they are being played. tell me sir, how do you feel about the atrocities iran is stirring in iraq? is it fair? why can't iraqis have a democracy? why can't they be given a chance at a good life with prosperity and freedom? why do they have to die for the monkey's cause? ahmadinejad is just as guilty about isolating israel and the jews by constantly equating them to a nazi regime. by denoucing the holocaust and fanning anti israel rhetorics, by dehumanizing jews which is exactly what hitler did. by saying he'll wipe us off the map. why? is it really because he's supporting peace and the palestinian cause? i doubt it! if he supported peace, his country wouldn't train guerillas, wouldn't send millions of dollars to create mayhem around the world, and wouldn't play with the lioves of the poor iraqis one against the other. do you know how many muslims, shia and suni died at ahmadinejad's hands in iraq? i stoped counting.

Yes it is the overall stratigy to go after Iran, but still I think it could have been done better. For one we could have done the Iran war, using Saudia Arabia as a jumping point, along with Afghanistan. Look up Iran with google in their map section. It would work. You don't need two different land points to do an invasion. You just need one, and another "jumper" position. One positive, for going to Iraq to get Iran, is that when Iran's leadership tries to hide, what country can they slip into??? Only Pakistan!!! Turkmenistan, Armenia, Turkey, Azerbaijan won't let them in. There we will have all our enimies in one spot... We send in special forces, capture Pakistan's Nukes... then they've got nothing
14. Iran has many Sunni and Shieh supporters
Persian CAT   (01.05.07)
Considering the source, NY Sun, I tend to brush this piece as some garbage cooked up by the you-know-who in NY. Let's face it folks, GW is up to his eyeballs in horse manure in Iraq, he'll accuse Laura of helping the Sunnis and Shiehs if he thought he it would help. But thinking of "driving a wedge between Iran and the Shiite majority" is a tall order for a dumb crusader. I know for a fact that Iran has many Shiite and many Sunni supporters. So what else is new?
15. #7, Ryan - deep in Calgary
Persian CAT   (01.05.07)
One thing I'm sure of is that you have not seen ANY of the "IED's with the revolutionary trademarks" nor any other evidence that the Iranians are training the Iraqis. Don't you get tired of spreading your brain farts from that hicktown where you live? How can a nobody like you living in Calgary!!! even know what is going on in Iraq?
16. THIS IS NONSENSE
JOJO ,   BOSTON,MASS,USA   (01.05.07)
THIS IS NONSENSE,IRAN SUPPORTS THE PALESTINIANS AND HAS EVERY RIGHT TO AND WILL SUPPORT HEZBOLLAH ALSO.BUT IRAN IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE SUNNI MILITIAS,MANY ARE IN AL-ANBAR WHICH DOES NOT BORDER IRAN.THERE IS NO EVIDENCE,THIS NONSENSE ABOUT AN "INTELLIGENCE SOURCES" SAYING IRAN WAS BEHIND IT.AMERICA IS AT FAULT FOR INVADING IRAQ ILLEGALLY ON LIES AND OPENED THIS CAN OF WORMS.OFCOURSE YNETNEWS WILL NOT POST THIS,IT ONLY POSTS STUFF THAT DEMONIZE IRAN.NICE TRY THOUGH,UNTIL THEN COME UP WITH A BETTER LIE.
17. 15 - Spread the Word
Ryan ,   Calgary, Canada   (01.05.07)
All of Canada is just a hicktown, no need immigrating here. Tell everyone you know might as well stay in the sandbox and enjoy the freedom you have. How is your economy? Your leaders still trying to recruit a suicide division for your rev. guard. It's nice that they care so much. I can understand why your so edgy, 1.) you live in Iran, wow. 2.) 3/4's of the worlds fire power is directed at you. Not much to purr about these days EH!!!?

marine ,   america the great   (01.05.07)
i am just back from my second duty in iraq and i have seen them man. i have seen and touched them with my own eyes and hands. iran is up to its neck involved in iraq. we have informers pointing fingers all the time and arrests galore. some are in gitmo, if you want the facts. military police and cruisers pick them up sometimes, finding them hiding in caverns under houses with usa dollars and russian manufactured guns gift of ahmadinejad. passports too have been found on some. just to say the truth. they infiltrate the iraqi border all the time and have support and homes to hide in the population.
20. Wow, what a frickin revelation
Micha   (01.05.07)
The Iranians would support a civil war? they want death and destruction? They're cowardly and full of vile and bile? How amazing! this after they tried to disprove the holocaust and continue to be envious of Jews around the world. Blah blah blah. It's boring. These people don't change. Get it through your skulls. They are barbarians. Question: What does the arab world provide the world, including their own, besides oil? Answer: nothing but violence and death. question: What's the solution? Answer: to come...

Johnson ,   USA   (01.05.07)
Who have perverted Islam to meet their own sick needs.
24. to#21 yep! Iran is doing what's
Niki   (01.05.07)
good for Iran right now, and right now it's good for them to stir up sh** wherever they can in the mid. east, and they are doing just that. so what is so hard to understand about that? and why are you so surprised? or , R U ???
25. to #18 Jellybean....
Saun   (01.05.07)
yes i agree with you about this so called "Persian cat" , he's probably getting paid by the Iranian government to post talkbacks on Israeli news agencies, like ynet....., or maybe he is the 'gov.'....?
26. RYAN.........................................#7
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (01.05.07)
Ryan, could not be least bother by your liking or disliking for me.The truth of the matter will remain.Have you already read the contradictory articles in the press in Washington? No, I am sure you haven't.Nor will you read it but very soon it may appear in this newspaper.For the time being let the matters remain the way they are.
27. Mahmood, Jojo, persian cat...all in denial!
DR ,   Florida, USA   (01.05.07)
Your blind asses will never see the truth becuase you don't want to see the truth. It is a well known and documented fact that Iran funds terror. Hezballah, Hamas, insurgents in Iraq. Iran funds and trains all of them. You may ask yourself why such a nice man (amhadine-monkey) wuold do such things? I would guess that Iran wants instability in the region so that it could gain power. Makes sense to me and the rest of the world.. People like you three who conitnuously deny reality and call everyone bias and racist are a dying breed. More and more people are catching on to radical Islam and its evil ways. Maybe you three should go work for an Iranian newspaper and get arrested for reporting the TRUTH!!!
28. DR.............THE GONE CASE #27
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (01.05.07)
DR, your futile attempts to put yourself right does not work at all.Gradually , your hatred will harm you more than others.Take it easy.
29. #28 Mahmood...
DR ,   Florida, USA   (01.08.07)
I have no hate...only reason. People like you are the ones who hate Israel,the US and the west, All you want is for people to allow radical Isalm to do whatever it wants. Never mind all the innocent people dying in the name of Allah, right? You still deny and ignore all the facts I talked about. Have you nothing to say about Iran's support for global terror? You are a typical, close-mided person who only talks about things which are convinient to you. Start talking about realities and facts my friend or no one will ever take you seriously.
