@ Scientician - "Stoopid Iraqis"
Thanks for the post about Petraeus blaming Iran (again!) for training Iraqi's who to use mortars and rockets.
It is a well known fact that throughout the 8 year long Iraqi war, the Iraqis never used mortars or rockets. In fact prior to the 'liberation' of Iraq, there were no rockets or mortars there, just WMD, huge stacks of them, reaching into the stratosphere.
What I want to know is, who believes this stuff? I have never fired a mortar, but it doesn't look particularly difficult. Does anyone really believe that the Iraqis need Iranian help to fire a goddamn mortar? The EFP's (explosively formed projectiles) are little more difficult, but as I said in an earlier post, these things are not exactly cruise missiles.
Maybe McCain meant to croon, "blame, blame, blame, blame Iran..." That's the first verse anyway, we know the second.
