U.S. Ambassador in Iraq Wary of Iranian Intentions
[Los Angeles Times] Tina Susman - U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker expressed wariness Sunday about Iranian intentions in Iraq, saying that even if Iran-backed militias had decreased activities there, he was not yet convinced that Iran was committed to helping stabilize Iraq. Referring to a recent drop in violent incidents, he asked: "Is it a conscious policy decision on the part of the Iranian government to use all its influence to bring these things down? Or does it involve the Iranians saying, 'Let's throttle it back, get everyone comfortable, and then put the pedal down again?'"
