Gen Nazim, who is believed to be well respected by U.S. forces, said his men had arrested several Iranians involved in sabotage.
“We captured three men and there is proof they blew up oil pipelines near Nuft Khaneh under the orders of Iranian intelligence officers,” he said. “They had people working with them in Baquba too.”

How is Iraq going to attack Iran,that is a laughable statement.The Iraq Army and Police cant manage against the resistance.What are they going to do move troops to the Border with Iran,then find that the resistance has come up behind them and blows them away.
The U.S and those that control the U.S are panicking again,they obviously not thinking straight.

Having so far failed to instigate a civil war in Iraq, and with the flags waving less furiously at home, maybe the Bush boobs are looking to turn Eye-rakee nationalism in their favor.
We know that the US/Israel wants to attack Iran. However, the 'coalition' is showing immense strain, and in no position to launch another major attack (as it turned out, the backbone of the Iraq resistance was only slightly bruised). With little hope of a civil war in Iraq, why not send the
new puppet military to Iran?
If the Pirates could provoke a new Iraq/Iran war, that would be a nice opportunity to redirect some of the hatred that they are currently on the receiving end of, by way of blurring the battle front. Plus, it would allow them to say that they tried to liberate them Ay-rabs, but all that those brown folks know how to do is kill each other and cut people's heads off; so what can you do?

The false iraqui "government" has neither the resources nor the ability to wage any war against Iran. This is just a laughable attempt to incite iraqui nationalism in support for the invaders against a third party on behalf of the western propaganda factory.

american-controlled Iraq threatens Iran with military action; no sensible person bothers to believe anything any longer said by american authorities or their stooges.
It would appear to me that this would be the catalyst to launch a full-scale war with Iran without directly involving the american administration; making it appear to the american people that the war wasn't started by the americans; only thing is, the americans and the israelis would join in the fray.
Common sense should dictate that if an occupied country wages war on a neighbouring country, it obviously could not be the actual country initiating the war but the occupiers. What will these neocons think of next?

...today is the Iranian elections which went on without a hitch. In fact, the Iranian government had to keep the polls open for a few extra hours, signifying total population participation. This is much more than Bush can say about his elections. What do you think Amerikkka and Israel will say about this? They'll say that Iran is atacking Iraq and the puppet regime will spew their rhetoric.

is propaganda aimed at Iraqis. Iraqis do not like their army as long as its sole purpose is to fight against the "mujahadeen".
So they need to fabricate stories such as this, to imply that the Iraqi army is actualy "fighting against evil Iranians" as well. Notice that this is especially aimed at the Sunni, as they are the ones who probably hate Iran the most.
So It is not a joke. But it is propaganda along the lines of Hafez al Essad.

I was curious what others here would think of it.
The story comes from BigNews Network. I looked at some stories there and I couldn't tell what their slant was (imperialist, anti-imperialist, green, conservative, etc).
Here is what one person called "Patriotic American" on that site commented on the above article:
"Man, the Bush administration must think that the American people and the people from around the world are stupid. Right now Iraq has the unique problem of being under the control of the corrupt Bush administration (which just happens to want to spill their war over to Iran). Pressure here and abroad has slowed down his push for war with Iran... and now, just by coincidence... Iran has attacked Iraqi forces on the boarder. This is beyond absurd and I doubt anyone except for the brain dead "Fox Propaganda" viewers will believe this. The Muslims are outraged at what the Bush administration has done to Iraq and sympathize with the Iraqi people. This has the Rove fingerprint of deceit all over it... Nice try... but no more illegal wars for you. Remember, starting another illegal war will just infuriate the American people and the rest of the World, and hopefully will land all members of this corrupt administration in jail. "
I think that if Iran was invaded by the current Iraqi vicci government, that would teach Tehran a lesson in collaborating with a government that sold out its own people to appease invading imperialists.
I don't think that any invasion will happen, though. I'm also thinking that this article is disinformation.
Note, I support the Tehran government despite my criticisms. Tehran does many things that dissapoint me, but overall I think that they're doing a good job of protecting the Iranian people from imperialist domination. They are also contributing to helping create a multi-polar world that will balance the global power and impede hegemony.

If US-puppet troops are massed on the Syrian border, this article is just propaganda.
If the war is proving unpopular at home, why not create another smokescreen by renewed speculation about another Middle Eastern country... that'll deflect the Conyers campaign... Or will it?
Blair is also in trouble at the moment - got himself into a 24-1 minority, and saying he won't budge. Of course, our media are making out he's right... But even New Europe are going against Blair... USUK would-be world dominators must be thinking something needs to happen to shift New Europe back on track. Well,,, threat of war with a middle eastern country worked last time...

Poor Iraqi border guards. They must have been shocked and awed as these "mortar strikes" (LOL) hit no-man’s land between Iraqi and Iranian lines. (LMAO)
" If I capture your soldiers, I told them, I will parade them on TV in front of the entire world,” he told Gulf News."
Tough guy. American school. Never read the Geneva convention to start with.
I agree with other comments that this is a sorry try to direct Iraqi attention to a outside enemy invoking nationalism. It wont work.

My sentiments exactly. anything these stinking collaborators come up with is laughable. Like many have said, it's hardly worth comenting on. I mean just think about it rationally (which most Americans and many Brits seem incapable of): A foreign army occupies Iraq and murders Iraqis everyday and yet the Iranians are the 'bad guys' now. More desperate US propaganda.

The problem is that while we can influenced by it easily, sitting safe at home living a western life that allows us to indulge in any kind of fantasy, even the one thats created by our media, people in war zones don't have that kind of luxury.
Surviving depends on dealing with reality. Thats were most propaganda is easily recognised and will fail or backfire at the end. Propaganda is not helpfull in the daily struggle to survive except, it will give you a guideline on how to express yourself if you have to deal with the system (gouvernment, officers, police, etc), it wont change your opinion or the way you think. Whatever effect proaganda will have on such a population, it will only be on the surface.
On the other hand, gouvernment propaganda always gives you a quite good idea about the things the gouvernment is afraid. Trying to direct attention to outside threats invoking nationalism as a glue while at the same time officials, generals, police, etc are blown to pieces tells anyone who is able to think that this gouvernment is seriously scared of its population. They know they wont survive 24 hours without US protection under the present conditions. Add to this that there is increasing debate wether to withdraw troops or set a fixed date for withdraw (regardless how unlikely that will be), you can imagine what motivated that propaganda.
I guess anytime someone in Washington mentions the idea to withdraw troops, members of the Iraqi gouvernment need a immediate change of underwear. :))

alot of us are not as naive as you suggest. you yourself agree that this article is a joke when it should be something good happening in Iraq., The Clab Gov. is flexing its military muscle towards Iranian incursions. althoough to me it translates more like a twitch, a muscle spasm resulting from a nervous reaction. Naw, your the naive one switching position. Naive is to believe in your so called good without question . actually it would be Moronic.

the purpose of such statement is propaganda aimed at Iraqis. Iraqis do not like their army as long as its sole purpose is to fight against the "mujahadeen - turco wrote
Unfortunelly, it such light it has a sense. External enemy...But whats about Shia in Iraq? If Al Sistani and Sadr order to their supporters to stay away from war with Iran, such plan will mean end of US in Iraq.
