Tensions are rising at the Eastern Maysan oil field, which straddles the border between Iran and Iraq, and Iraqi forces have massed at a “staging area” just outside the field, awaiting orders.
The situation started yesterday when Iraq’s Deputy Foreign Minister claimed 11 Iranian soldiers had “invaded” the nation and occupied one of the abandoned oil wells.
US officials say they approve of Iraq’s escalation of the as yet unclear situation, and Ambassador Chris Hill declared that it “speaks to the overall view here that they are not going to be pushed around by Iran.”
Iran said reports of its invasion were misleading, adding that the field’s ownership is “disputed and now it is neglected by both sides.” They added that the well in question lies “exactly on the border between Iraq and Iran.”
the ultimate goal seems to have been achieved. Muslims fighting Muslims. A dream come true for Israel.
This stinks to high heaven. Something else is up, and if the Iraqis are so focking stupid to fall for Iraq-Iran war Parte Due, they deserve the resulting carnage.
Yup, I'm sure our "friends" the Zionists are behind this. I'm sure that Tom "Kuwaiti babies are being thrown from incubators" Lantos is directing this from Hell.
Couldn't agree with you more. It's amazing how the colonized always fall for the divide and conquer scheme. But the maybe that is why they are the colonized and not the other way around. It seems now that even in Russia someone is stiring the pot between orhodox christians and muslims and judging from initial reactions, it seems to be working. Someone wants to break up the Russian Federaton and alienate the Kremlin's relations with former muslim soviet republics. I wonder who might that be?:)
No more more financial help from me since you refuse to show my comments.
I stopped monetary support of Anti-war.com a couple of years ago after receiving a nasty reply from one of the owners (concerning my criticisim of Jewish control of our government) who said "we are all Jews here at Antiwar.com…" In case you don't know it, Jews own and run Anti-war.com just like they own and run practically every other news and commentary outlet in this country.
the usa and the zionist entity both are destparate to attack Iran.During the 8 year Iraq iran war the usa gave Iraq any weapons they needed. The presant regime in Iraq is an illegal one ,only there with the occupation of Iraq by the usa. therefor any thing the so called Iraq army does is really just a mercanary one. Iran has every right to nuclear power and if they wish nuclear weapons.to protect them from zionist entity or the usa or any gangster regime that wants to attack it.

This is Iraq-Kuwait all over again!
"we have to defend our newly built democracy in Iraq from an evil dictator in Iran, YOU saw the elections. We put our agitators on CNN 24/7 so you would get the message. We didn't expect Michael jackson to die to ruin our campaign, but oh well, nothing ever goes as planned. Iran has invaded Iraq. It is a necessity to defend our allies we must support these brave Iraqi soldiers and defend them"
Here AIPAC, I've done your job for you.
Hey, lets all be good Christians and start yet another war to celebrate the birth of Christ.

Don’t know if its changed in the last year or so, but at one point I read that the Iraqi army had zero ‘logistics’ capability. Which means it relies on the US military for all delivery of supplies. If this is still true, then there’s no way the Iraqi army could make a large deployment without US support. They literally couldn’t get ammo, food, water, etc to their units without the US military’s support.

We fall for the same ‘divide and conquer’ scheme at home too. After all, we’re the people who ran five separate anti-war Presidential campaigns last year in a winner-take-all election system.
Paul, Kucinich, Barr, McKinney, Nader. Five separate weak hopeless campaigns. Yeah, we fall for ‘divide and conquer’ here just like in the colonies.
The Iraqi army is under mc Crystals command. Nothing moves there without the USA blessing.
This way all fatalities can be blamed on Iran and the People stirring the Pot can claim to be innocent.
plain and simple.
One more war! Lucky us. Is there ever going to be an end to the maddness!
A little proxy going on here as pretext for an Israeli/US strike against Iran?
11 Iranian soldiers occupied an abandoned oil well. This sounds suspiciously like the Nazi's excuse for rolling into Poland.
Reading the article below this one "US: Iraq not 'pushed around' by Iran", makes me think that this also smells like a false flag operation/ chattering taxi driver.
The AP (Asinine Presstitutes) article quotes an unnamed oil field worker as its source. Yeah, right.
Why the hell would Iran taunt UsRael by this kind of move? Bull Shiite.
This comment says it all (from the article) : Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Rahmin Mehmanparast denied that Tehran had seized the oil well and sought only to reduce tensions between the neighbors, accusing foreign media of spreading false news to "disrupt good relations" between Tehran and Baghdad.
