As a military physician currently in Iraq I would say that your statistics are a bit skewed.
Cite your reference for a 6.6% death count by IED and I will show you hundreds of dead Iraqis, Iranians, Syrians, Arabs of all cultures, Americans, British, Australian, German and many others who have been injured or killed by IEDs.
People like you who twist statistics to try and prove a liberal point simply piss me off. You should come on over and see what an IED does to the human body, before you open your mouth.

It is simply the Bush administration's attempts to shift the blame of the failing Iraqi occupation to Iran. On the other hand, many American troops were also killed by Sunni insurgents IED's and weapons. Those American helicopters were all shot down in Sunni areas of operations. The Sunni insurgents were supplied with weapons and cash by Saudi Arabia. So, the question is... why is the Bush administration creating a lot of noise about the Iranian weapons used by the Shias, while always kept its silence on the Saudis' support of the Sunnis?. Another point is that thousands upon thousands of Soviet AK-47s and RPGs as well as Chinese-made weapons that are used by the insurgents. Why is the U.S. so quiet about Russia and China?.
One more argument to consider is why the U.S. is making such a big deal with the Iranian weapons found in Iraq?. Remember that the U.S. did exactly the same thing in the past. The U.S. supplied Saddam with weapons to fight against Iran in the Iran-Iraq war. The U.S. also sold huge quantities of weapons to the Iranians during the Iran-Contra deal. The U.S. and the CIA supplied weapons to Osama Bin Laden and the Afghan mujahedeens during the Soviet-Afghan war. The Afghan mujahedeens used American Stinger missiles that shot down Russian helicopters and other Soviet aircrafts.
So it's just fair and fitting for America's enemies to supply the Iraqi insurgents with weapons to fight against American troops.

What is your question?
You answered it yourself.
The US government says that 170 US soldiers have been killed by IED's made in Iran.
They haven't said that the most US casualties did not come in the Sunni areas.
Do you expect the US government to ignore the deaths of 170 soldiers caused by Iranian made IED's ?

Well when you find Iranian weapons on the dead terrorists.
Kind of tells me that that Iran is it.
Well if we are playing the numbers game why do people believe only our troops are responisble for killing innocennt civilians when Muslim terrorist killed about 16,000 last year and 200 or so happen when our troops were in the fight.

The Ayatollah calls some thing that he disagrees with terrorism. in case you want Iran to be more beneficial secular and characteristic non violent kin with the international, he'd call you a terrorist. a useless ringer for the way that reporter grow to be seen a undercover agent basically because she grow to be doing her interest.

You forget about the weapons delivered from Iran, the Al Quds Guards detained in Iran, the snipers trained from Iran, and the general support from Iran to Sadr and his militia.
It's not just EFP's we're talking about.
