It was a secret from somebody
American officials say that Iran is flying surveillance drones and shipping military supplies to Iraq on the QT. Well slap my ass and call me Sally!. Who could have imagined that happening?
Iran is directing surveillance drones over Iraq from an airfield in Baghdad and is supplying Iraqi forces with tons of military equipment and other supplies, according to American officials.No, no way we could possibly be coordinating our shipments with those of Iran.
The secret Iranian programs are a rare instance in which Iran and the United States share a near-term goal: countering the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, the Sunni militants who have seized towns and cities in a blitzkrieg across western and northern Iraq. But even as the two nations provide military support to the embattled government of Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, they are watching each other’s actions warily as they jostle for influence in the region.
Senior American officials emphasized that the parallel efforts were not coordinated, and in an appearance at NATO headquarters here on Wednesday, Secretary of State John Kerry highlighted some of the potential risks.

Of course we couldn't be coordinating our shipments with those of Iran. Why, that'd be as silly as selling TOW anti-tank missiles and Hawk anti-aircraft missiles to Iran.
Oh wait...
Oh wait...
