President Bush Discusses Iraq
....The regime in Tehran also has a choice to make. It can live in peace with its neighbor, enjoy strong economic and cultural and religious ties. Or <h3>it can continue to arm and train and fund illegal militant groups</h3>
, which are terrorizing the Iraqi people and turning them against Iran. If Iran makes the right choice, America will encourage a peaceful relationship between Iran and Iraq. Iran makes the wrong choice, America will act to protect our interests, and our troops, and our Iraqi partners....

BAGHDAD -- For three years, thousands of members of a militant group dedicated to overthrowing Iran's theocracy have lived in a sprawling compound north of Baghdad <h3>under the protection of the U.S. military.
American soldiers chauffeur top leaders of the group, known as the Mujaheddin-e Khalq, or MEK, to and from their compound, where they have hosted dozens of visitors in an energetic campaign to persuade the State Department to stop designating the group as a terrorist organization.</h3>
Now the Iraqi government is intensifying its efforts to evict the 3,800 or so members of the group who live in Iraq, although U.S. officials say they are in no hurry to change their policy toward the MEK,
which has been a prime source of information about Iran's nuclear program....

Witness the president of the United States, just the other day, accusing Iran of "continue to arm and train and fund illegal militant groups", while the US military in Iraq coddles a US state dept. designated terrorist group, allowing it to buy time while it tries to convince the state dept. not to designate it as a "terrorist" organization, because, even though <h3>the information the terrorist group provides to the US government on Iran's nuclear weapons development clearly contradicts the conclusions in the last two NIEs,</h3> the president and the vice-president clearly agree with the propaganda of the terrorist group it has permitted the US military in Iraq, to coddle, against the express wishes of the Iraqi government.
<h2>People !!! Our troops are dying to maintain this dysfunction !!!</h2>

<a href="http://thinkprogress.org/2007/12/03/nie-iran/">Despite Knowledge That Iran Halted Nuke Program</a>, White House Continued To Warn Of False Threat»
The National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) released today concludes that “in fall 2003, Tehran halted its nuclear weapons program.” It adds that “Tehran had not restarted its nuclear weapons program as of mid-2007,” and the country is “less determined to develop nuclear weapons than we have been judging since 2005.”...
