Iran may be biggest threat to Iraq - U.S. general

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Iran may pose the greatest long-term threat to Iraq's stability, a U.S. general said Tuesday, the day after Iran's president wrapped up a visit to Baghdad.

Army Lt. Gen Ray Odierno, who recently ended a 15-month assignment as the No. 2 U.S. commander in Iraq, said Iran continued to train extremist militia groups in Iraq.

The implication here is this:
"We need to do a better job of identifying such nutjobs in Iraq and at the same
time make it harder for them to get their hands on weapons."

But notice how this logic is not being applied regarding the US and its allies who often engage in outrageous behavior in Iraq. That would obviously involve looking in a mirror.

It makes me wonder if there's a law that all leading politicians must be incredibly hypocritical.
