Someone's Been Talking To Iran

Iran no longer aids Iraq militants.

Gen. David H. Petraeus, commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, sees Iran as following through on assurances it made to Iraqi and U.S. officials last fall not to assist extremists in Iraq, spokesman Col. Steven Boylan said, adding that other U.S. officials have noted declines in Iranian weapons and funds to Iraqi insurgents.

Perhaps Abombnjihad received one of those phone calls? Or perhaps he figured out the simplest way to get the Americans out of Iraq is to allow peace to break out.
