[edit] Leaked Iraqi intelligence documents

Recently leaked Iraqi intellegence documents on the Iran–Iraq War have been publicized :

http://legacy.wilsoncenter.org/va2/index.cfm?topic_id=1409&fuseaction=HOME.browse&sort=Collection&item=Iran-Iraq%20War

http://www.wilsoncenter.org/event/the-iran-iraq-war-the-view-baghdad

I think we should create a new section in this article for these documents .

[edit] Shatt al-Arab vs Arvand Rud

I really don't care what name we use for this river personally, but according to the talk page on Shatt al-Arab, the Wikipedia consenus is that we use the name Shatt al-Arab for that river. That was the case on this page until October when an IP (who is presumably from Iran) changed all the references from Shatt al-Arab to Arvand Rud. Unless the rules have been changed on this issue, I think the Shatt is the correct term for this body of water. --A.S. Brown (talk) 01:25, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Why Iran Section

this section seems to imply Saddam wanted to annex the whole of Iran, but I have never heard any such thing, only that he wanted greater access to the Persian gulf and the benefits of the area such as more oil. I don't even know how Iraq could have managed such a thing, I think it needs reworking — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.63.7.27 (talk) 22:57, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
