[...] As for the Iranian angle, I’ll take a double heaping of crow for having scoffed at that dissident earlier. Follow the link in the update to that post and you’ll see that this is the third separate report today of Iraqi Shiite militiamen being trained and equipped across the border. The AP story is the first one to identify them as rogue JAM, though. Details: The Mahdi Army commanders, who said they would be endangered if their names were revealed, said Iran’s Revolutionary Guards were funding and arming the defectors from their force, and that several hundred over the last 18 months had slipped across the Iranian border for training by the Quds force.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. From Machiavelli’s Discourses on Livy:

A prince therefore should be slow in undertaking any enterprise upon the representations of exiles, for he will generally gain nothing by it but shame and serious injury.
