Uh oh! This can't be good.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad blamed the United States and Israel on Thursday for the destruction of a Shiite shrine's golden dome in Iraq, saying it was the work of "defeated Zionists and occupiers."

Speaking to a crowd of thousands on a tour of southwestern Iran, the president referred to the destruction of the Askariya mosque dome in Samarra on Wednesday, which the Iraqi government has blamed on insurgents.

"They invade the shrine and bomb there because they oppose God and justice," Ahmadinejad said, referring to the U.S.-led multinational forces in Iraq.

You know that this is what is being accepted as truth throughout the middle east. We have blundered so badly in this region that it takes very little effort to paint us as responsible for every terrible thing that happens in the region. I don't believe that we had anything to do with it, but who cares what I think. The Muslims are going to use this to become further incensed, and the danger to our soldiers will increase just that much more.

It is time to get the hell out of Dodge!

We need to leave these people to sort out their problems without having the convenience of blaming everything that happens our military. We know the civil war is starting and all we can do at this point is not get caught in the middle of it.
