Former Iraqi leader: Militants crossing from Syria to Iraq not backed by Damascus

Egypt Iraq's former interim prime minister says militants crossing the Syrian border into Iraq are not being put up to it by the Syrian government.

Ayad Allawi (EE'-yahd ah-LAH'-wee) headed up the interim Iraqi government for nearly a year, stepping down in April. He's in Cairo seeking support for his plan for a conference to try to end the insurgency.

...

Well doesn't that throw a wrench into bushCo. plans for future wars. Allawi is a Repub. puppet but he was certainly in position to make an informed comment (that isn't a joke) on the matter. The fact that he has said this goes against everything we've heard from this administration; yet again.
