The administration in which I served kept them on the list and this is according to Frances Townsend, who was the President's national security advisor out of fear that if they were taken off, the Iranians would start sending IEDs into Iraq to kill U.S. troops. Of course, they started doing that anyway, so that strategy didn't work.
L'administration dans laquelle j'ai servi l'a maintenue sur la liste, selon Frances Townsend, alors conseiller du président en matière de sécurité nationale, par crainte que, si on l'en retirait, les Iraniens ne commencent à envoyer des IED en Irak pour tuer des soldats américains.
