Well, that was quick. CNN is reporting that — after several weeks of
comparative decline — attacks against American troops by bombs
“believed linked to Iran” are again on the rise. According to
General Petraeus, “EFPs have gone up, actually, over the last 10
days by a factor of two or three.” All of which puts the lie to
claims that Iran is behaving better in Iraq — and should dispel
any doubt about exactly who calls the shots on the ground.
