BAGHDAD - The U.S. military accused Iran on Sunday of smuggling surface-to-air missiles and other advanced weapons into Iraq for use against American troops. The new allegations came as Iraqi leaders condemned the latest U.S. detention of an Iranian in northern Iraq, saying the man was in their country on official business.


Military spokesman Rear Adm. Mark Fox said U.S. troops were continuing to find Iranian-supplied weaponry including the Misagh 1, a portable surface-to-air missile that uses an infrared guidance system.

1. Just like Sadam was rebuilding his Weapons of Mass destruction.
The US has no room to talk when they can't even keep track of our own Nuclear missiles.

What's the saying,"Clean your own house before telling someone else about theirs"!

5. The US is just pissed because our defense contractors were cut out of the deal
They certainly have shown no qualms about selling their own weapons to insurgents.
