Desertpeacehttp://desertpeace.wordpress.com/2008/05/14/israel-didnt-push-for-iraq-war/ [Desertpeace] This is an obvious truth, but is trying to mislead the readers into thinking Israel told the US to spare Iraq and focus on Iran. In reality, Israel wanted the Iraq war to be won decisively, so that Iraq could be used as a stepping stone to attack Iran and Syria in a pincer movement since both these regimes would then be effectively surrounded by the neo-con’s colonial army of imperial occupation.

TIME: Middle East Blog[TIME: Middle East Blog] A Reporter's Take on Iran in Iraq: Iranian officials and the state media clearly supported Prime Minister Maliki and the Iraqi government against what they described as "illegal armed groups" in the recent conflict in Basra, which is not surprising given that their main proxy in Iraq, the Supreme Iraqi Islamic Council dominates the Iraqi state and is Maliki's main backer. The Supreme Council is of course also the main proxy for the US in Iraq and somehow in the Senate testimony it was forgotten that its large Badr militia was established in Iran and is actually the only Iraqi opposition group to have fought on the Iranian side against Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war.

WaccoBBhttp://www.waccobb.net/forums/showthread.php?t=36055 [WaccoBB] more war?: The irony is that this "training camp" tale is coming a bit late, because the Iranians did train, equip, and otherwise succor Iraqi "militants" all through the 1980s and '90s – such as the militants of the Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (now known simply as the Islamic Council), which is today the biggest of the parties in Baghdad's governing Shi'ite coalition. This is also true of the second largest component of the coalition, the Da'wa party – whose most prominent member is Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
