So are you saying that Maj. Gen. Charles H. Swannack Jr., commander of
the 82nd Airborne Division is lying when he says "Most of the attacks
on our forces are by former regime loyalists and other Iraqis, not
foreign forces," (see below)

Here's the problem with people who don't understand what's going on in Iraq or
military operations in general (or who are trying to distort the truth
intentionally). Did the 82nd have responsibility for all of Iraq? No, they had
responsibility for Baghdad. When Gen. Swannack made his statements was he
making them about all of Iraq or just Baghdad? He was making them about
Baghdad. Well publisized strikes (both air and ground) in western Iraq have
killed numerous foreign fighters transiting *into* Iraq. The presence of
foreign fighters in Fallujah is well known. Hell, the most infameous guy we're
battling (al Zarkawi) in Iraq is a Jordanian.

MOST of
Iraq's dissidents have at some time or another been to Iran.

I'm sure you can provide proof that *MOST* of Iraq's dissendents have been
protected by the Iranian government "at some time or another". We're not
talking about a weekend visit here, al Sadr was living under protected status
in Iran for 4 years and was returned to Iraq *by the Iranian government*!

Does that
automatically make Sadr a stooge of Iran?

What's that saying; if it smells, looks and acts like a duck, it must be a
duck.

In fact the current
US-installed Iraqi FM is in Iran - I guess hes' a stooge of Iran too?

Only if he stays there for 4 years as a guest of the goverment then re-enters
the country with the assistance of the Iranian government.
