Iran Dominates in Iraq After U.S. ‘Handed the Country Over’

I know the New York Times often publish stories that are controversial. I don't trust the New York times either and my worst fears seem to come true. I am upset with the Iranians due to their shape charges being custom made in Iran and being used in Iraq to maim and kill soldiers as far back as 2005. I personally knew a soldier who lost part of his hand and losing his leg below the knee due to being a driver that got hit with one of those Iranian made bombs. When I was in Afghanistan, our civil Affairs projects were often being used with Iranian made construction material which we knew about but couldn't Force the contractors to not buy. But with the Christians being forced out and the corruption and divisiveness of the Iraq government not being able to agree or accusing top leadership of being corrupt I wonder how Iranian influence could be growing and it's possible that this article may actually hold some truth. Add to all of this the clandestine nuclear nuclear deal which gives them a nuclear bomb capability in less than a decade even following agreement to the letter. We reward them with bad behavior by unfreezing over 150 billion dollars and that could be buying the Iraq influence as well.

Possibly some of the money we gave them back from being frozen has been used buy or bribe more influence in Iraq.
