If a week is a long time in politics, then two weeks must be forever in PR.
New Evidence Clouds U.S. Case against Iran: Two weeks ago, the Bush administration organized an intelligence briefing for journalists in Iraq to demonstrate that Iran was providing weapons to Iraqi insurgents. According to the anonymous briefers, the weapons — particularly explosively formed penetrators or E.F.P.s — were manufactured in Iran and provided to insurgents by the Quds Force — a fact that meant direction for the operation was “coming from the highest levels of the Iranian government.”
Well. A raid in southern Iraq on Saturday seems to have complicated the case.
It seems the Iraqis were making the stuff that the US had been saying could only have come from IraqIran. And from the markings on the boxes, it seems most of the key parts came straight from non-Iranian factories.
I hope the Times and Post put this on their front pages with the same prominence they gave the scare stories two weeks ago.
did you mean to write: It seems the Iraqis were making the stuff that the US had been saying could only have come from Iran?
but even if all the parts did come from iran, who could blame an invaded and occupied country for buying ammunition anywhere it can be found? what a stupid excuse for preparing to invade yet another country.
