Petraeus works to halt foreign fighters - Yahoo! News
I'm a little puzzled here.
I'm being told that Iran and Syria are the reasons for instability. Iran. Syria. Iran.
But it turns out that many fighters (and their support ) are also coming from our Arab and Turkish 'allies'?
So, then, how do you point the finger mainly at Iran?
Iran. Iran. Iran.
But everybody else gets diplomacy. Makes perfect sense
Seems like Iran could disappear tomorrow and you still have an insurgency.

"I've actually gone to a couple of neighboring countries in an effort, again, to get at the networks, the countries in which they operate, and the sources of some of these foreign fighters," Petraeus said.
Petraeus did not name the countries he visited. The Associated Press has learned that the trips — all taken since last September — were to Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.
