Rocket attacks on the U.S.-protected Green Zone may carry a message with implications across Iraq: rising anger within the Mahdi Army militia.Listening to the news on the radio today (Monday) we heard General Petraeus talking about how the weapons that were fired into the Green Zone were made in Iran. All roads keep leading to Iran.
The Shiite fighters led by anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr are reorganizing their ranks, taking delivery of new weapons from Iran and ramping up complaints about crackdowns by U.S. and Iraqi forces that could unravel the Mahdi Army's self-declared cease-fire, according to militia commanders.
Vice President Dick Cheney, speaking during a visit to Iraq this month, reiterated Washington's claim that Iran seeks to destabilize Iraq through support of armed Shiite factions.
Will Bush fulfill the neo-con dream and bomb Iran...
