BAGHDAD (AFP) - A US general on Wednesday acknowledged Iran's role in helping quell the bloodshed in Iraq, saying Tehran had contributed to stopping the flow of arms across the border into the country.

Lieutenant General James Dubik, who is in charge of training Iraqi security forces, said Tehran was keeping to its pledge of stopping the smuggling of weapons to Iraqi extremists.

Yes, but its never going to be 100%, its like the Us Gov trying to stop Mexican migrants.. The flow of Chinese/Russian/Iranian/Brazilian/etc weapons/materials is going to continue one way or another.

Maybe not 100%, but it sure has to be better than the American handling of the Mexican border if they're really doing it. Mostly because the Iranians don't care as much about hurting the feelings of those they are going against. I doubt they'd listen to the protests of the insurgents ("what did you say? I didn't hear it with all that gurgling!") as much as the American authorities listen to the whining of the Mexican government and so forth. :p

Iran are the good guys now?

impossible!
