Bush’s gift of victory to Iran’s hardmen

With its every move in Iraq, the White House has strengthened the hand of Tehran

Four years later, Iran holds a much stronger hand while the mismanagement of the Iraq occupation has made the United States’ position incom-parably weaker

Faced with choosing between the United States or an Iran under attack, Iraq’s government may not choose its liberator. Even if the Iraqi government did not openly cooperate with the Iranians, pro-Iranian elements in the US-armed military and police would almost certainly facilitate attacks on US troops by pro-Iranian Iraqi militia or Iranian infiltrators
