Commander of Saddam Hussein's 'Army of Muhammad' Confesses: We Received Money and Arms from Syria and Iran

From the Middle East Media Research Institute's TV Project. Specifically, the linked article is a transcript of an interrogation, shown on a new Iraqi TV station operating out of the United Arab Emirates for broadcast into Iraq.

This "Army of Muhammad" was Saddam Hussein's insurgent force. Its commander has now admitted that his force received money and arms from foreign countries, to wit, Syria and Iran. That makes it rather more than an indigenous insurgency. In fact, it is a proxy for a foreign re-invasion of Iraq by two countries who haven't the moxie to launch a real blood-and-flames military operation against the Coalition of the Willing.

Tell me again that the Iraqis want us out. The only Iraqis that want us out are those who had to go abroad for "help." The other Iraqis want us to say just long enough for them to keep Saddam Hussein's phonies and toadies' heads down.
