Unknown Republican Congressman
Posted by Ilan Goldenberg

Says that the forces that are in Iraq have been killing Americans for 30 years.  But which forces?  The Sadrists?? - No.  Al Qaeda in Iraq??  No.  Al Qaeda central?  Umm...  We were funding their predecessors in Afghanistan against the Soviets.

Maybe he's arguing that Iranian supported Hezbollah attacked American forces in the 1980s and 1990s.  True.  But the groups who were most closely aligned with them at the time is SCIRI and the Badr Corps.  But they are currently the leading party in the Iraqi Central Government.
