OK, help me here

From Petraeus's mouth.

The commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, said on Monday the flow of Iranian weapons into Iraq has increased but that Iranian Quds force trainers had withdrawn.

Oops, backpedal? The Quds force has withdrawn?
If memory serves me, which it usually doesn't. Weren't we wary of the Quds force?

Defense Secretary Robert Gates has described as based on "hard fact" U.S. assertions that an elite branch of Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps is training and arming Shi'ite extremists in neighboring Iraq. U.S. President George W. Bush recently accused Iran's Quds Force of supplying weapons, including armor-piercing bombs, that were used to kill U.S. soldiers. RFE/RL correspondent Golnaz Esfandiari talks about the Quds Force and its alleged role in Iraq with Mahan Abedin, director of research at the London-based Center for the Study of Terrorism and editor of "Islamism Digest" journal.

Hey, but we're helping all we can too.

Astounding report from the GAO, that our miliitary leaders have no blessed idea where 190,000 AK-47’s given to Iraqi security forces have gotten off to. But, it’s not just the AK-47’s that are missing without any clues, but a whopping 30% of weapons given to the Iraqi security forces.

I'm be thinking I need MUCH stronger meds to deal with this shit.
