This is bull-crap! The main reason the United States is over there in Iraq is to get revenge on the terrorists for 9/11. Why would we hire our enemies? Also, Iran has been sending many accusations and letters to the U.S and it's citizens. They know that taking out Iran is a possible next step and they want U.S citizens to believe the crazy reasons they give just so they can eliminate that threat.
