Hell, yes!!!
Why do you think the Iraqis and their allies here and in Europe kept stalling and demanding revisions of UN resolutions?
“It’s on the wrong size paper!”
“It wasn’t properly reviewed!”
“We need another procedural vote!”
What do you think they were doing? BUYING TIME!!!!
And don’t give me this garbage about how the Iraqis and Syrians or whomever “don’t like each other”, so they wouldn’t send any weapons there. Doesn’t anybody realize that the expression “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” originated in the middle east?
This topic sets me off every time it comes up. People, especially the “press”, are just so damn stupid.
Heck, Iran was Iraq's biggest enemy for over a decade, hundreds of thousands of casualties, and Saddaam sent his entire air force to Iran rather than allow it to fall into Allied hands.

The thinking that natural enemies never collude is fatal, and will eventually be our downfall if we ever elect a Dem CiC. We're already hearing that Iran and al Quida could never work together because one's Shiite and the other is Sunni.
