Panetta: We cannot "walk away from" Iran arming Iraqi militants!

"... "We're very concerned about Iran and the weapons they're providing to extremists in Iraq," Panetta said, on a visit to U.S. troops in Baghdad Monday, the AP's Robert Burns reports."We cannot simply stand back and allow this to continue to happen," he said. "This is not something we're going to walk away from. It's something we're going to take on head-on."
The United States will act unilaterally "to go after those threats," Panetta, the former CIA chief and lawmaker, said. Iran has become increasingly brazen in leaving its fingerprints on weapons provided to Shiite extremist groups in Iraq, the top U.S. civilian and military envoys in Iraq have recently charged...."

You put in the wrong quote, this is Penetta with the Big Lie:

“The reason you guys are here is because on 9/11 the United States got attacked,” he told troops at Camp Victory, the largest U.S. military outpost in Baghdad. “And 3,000 Americans — 3,000 not just Americans, 3,000 human beings, innocent human beings — got killed because of al-Qaeda. And we’ve been fighting as a result of that.”

Iraq did not attack the US on 9-11.
Neither did Iran

You mean the insurgents have finally got weapons for a "fair" fight. Good these whiners, if they cannot take it they should not start it!
