    The US says Iran sent "some operatives" to Iraq, calls it "interference." Isn't that what the US also plans to do? http://news.yahoo.com/iran-sent-small-numbers-operatives-iraq-us-192146084.html …

        @LizSly May not be obvious to a Brit, but the US is painfully trying not to take sides. Can you say the same about Iran?

      @LizSly @KronicDeth I think the difference is whether a country is open about being involved or not

      @LizSly @KronicDeth I think the difference is whether you are publicly involved, or covertly.
