LAT: U.S. at fault in Iran/Iraq

The LAT, this morning, blames the U.S. for Iranians supporting the Sadr militia in Iraq. According to the LAT, the U.S. is inciting Kurds and Sunnis to stage cross-border raids into Iran and that's why Iran is sending arms and aid to the Sadr militia. Furthermore, the LAT says, everyone knows that the U.S. intelligence assessment last December cleared Iran of having nuclear ambitions and also that Iraqi government forces lost the battle of Basra two weeks ago. The LAT goes on to say there's no proof of what they say about U.S. aid to Kurd and Sunni infiltrators but that's because the U.S. is so skilled at hiding it.
