Iran, the Insurgency, and Rep. Curt Weldon
Pennsylvania congressman Curt Weldon was on Michael Smerconish's radio show this morning. Rep. Weldon is shopping a book around among four publishers. According to Weldon, the insurgency is pretty much the work of Iran. This makes a lot of sense since a free Iraq, with its large Shi'ite population, would not be a good thing for despots in Iran. The population of Iraq is not behind the insurgency.
Weldon's more troubling comments, which he did not elaborate on, was that he gave this information to the CIA and that they fell down on the job. One of those he gave the information to was a higher up that resigned with the arrival of Goss.
The book will be worth reading.
