Have you? I have, and it sort of scares me. Because this what happened right before Iraq.
Iran consists mainly of one branch of Islam, and Saudi Arabia consists mainly of the other branch. Sunni and Shi'ite, I can't remember which at the moment. But it is pretty much common knowledge these two sects of Islam don't get along too well, atleast in recent years.
Why would Iran train members of the other sect? When down the road, they could turn on them? Now, I'm not saying that Iran couldn't be helping to train some of these people, but because of all the lies Bush and Cheney have told, it's hard to believe anything they say. Considering they also like to keep their sources to themselves as well.
As with the news link, why couldn't the fighters be getting better on their own? It only stands to reason that with practice comes better abilities....

I'm saying that we should be cautious of Bush's motives. We can't afford to get into another war. We barely control Afghanistan and Iraq.....really, we only control the greenzone around Baghdad in Iraq.

RitchWilliams: Simply more to report? Perhaps, and it can also be said that actual Al queda inside Iran has trained this people too. If you remember, we had similiar Al queda inside the US as well, secretly training people for 9/11 and such.
And really, there was "more to report" about Iraq before we invaded them too. Don't you see the cycle? Accusation here, propaganda here, make a case for, as they put it, "regime change" for Iran.....boom, another war we can't hope to win.
And Iran would be a much tougher enemy than Iraq, as it is larger and has a better trained military. Not to mention that it hasn't been starved for 10 years by sanctions.
And much of that "more to report" from Iraq was false. Yellowcake from Niger, FALSE. (Not to mention it led to Plame's identity being outed in retribution to Wilson)......oh, and the ever popular WMDs.....FALSE! All we found were conventional weapons and chem and bio stuff from the first Gulf War...long past their exp date.

Good catch. Yeah, they're ramping up the thunder about Iran. First it was about their nuclear technology, but the world is no more ready to step in and put a forcible stop to that than it was to help us invade Iraq to put a stop to their horrific weapons (that turned out to be invisible).
With no traction on that issue, pressure building on all sides for a resolution of the Iraqi adventure, and needing another reason to stay long enough to solidify the petroleum hijack, they have now started floeting stories about Iranian involvement in the planting of IED's, the abductions and murders of our soldiers from a supposedly secure compound, and the funding and training of all sides of the Iraqi insurgency.
Saudi Arabia is nominally a US ally, so no mention is made that the vast majority of the suicide bombers in Iraq have been Saudi. Nobody can police the borders over there, so we hear that the Saudis can't be expected to stop every criminal terrorist who wants to cross the border to the jihad. On the other hand, it is insinuated or even declared that the fighters from Syria and Iran are supported by those countries' respective governments......they aren't our allies, right?
I'm afraid Bush intends to attack Iran before he leaves office. That would be our equivalent of Hitler's attack on Poland in 1939, the beginning of the end. Hitler told the German people that the Poles were carrying out cross-border terror raids as well, come to think of it. He claimed that his invasion was necessary to the security of the German border and the ethnic Germans living in Gdansk (Danzig)....

Not really. Iran hasn't exactly been underpresented in international news for years - even before 9/11, it was a source of interesting stories, as the structure of it's government was undergoing internal challenges. It's nuclear ambitions have been known since before 9/11, as well, and, long before that, of course was the revolution and the hostage crisis.

The media of the US is 100% Zionist controlled - They have planned all this for decades. They want to destroy western civilization and replace it with their One World Government based in Jerusalem.
The Rothschilds have even built a world court building with the Illuminati pyramid on top to serve for a one world Zionist court.

I think this question and the answers it's received so far win today's prize for 'Superior Idiocy'. Congratulations. You guys have outdone yourselves.
Did it every occur to you that there is simply more to report?

The scheme worked once. They're hoping it will work again.
