If Iran Was Transporting Weapons Into Iraq - Why Would They Keep....
computer records of this? It doesn't make sense. Why would I record potentially damaging activity like weapons smuggling? This smells to me that *Co is looking to find something to justify them to attack Iran. Any thoughts?

1. Whats even odder is Iran is not a big weapon making country.
They rely on countries like China, Russia and the US to sell them weapons or sell them to GW's good friends the Saudis, who then sell them to countries like Iran and Syria. Notice the only trace thats supposedly being done stops at the Iran border. If this was a case of supply then the weapons would be traced back to the factory that made them.

2. Exactly, these weapons, especially being made by other nations...
and legitimately imported into Iran have serial numbers on them, several types of stamps and stuff. Tracing them back to the source shouldn't be a problem. Its not like all these weapons are AK-47s manufactured out of scrap metal locally, if they were, Iran wouldn't even have to be involved.

3. Because...
...the American public isn't all that bright, at least that's what this White House thinks. And now this administration is building up to find a justification to attack Iran, and they need the MSM to
help them just like they did with the Iraq war.

It smells like the "mobile chem lab" story, doesn't it?

4. Yellow cake from Niger?
Aluminum tubes? WMD? Hmmmm. I think they're making it up. If this congress falls for it again, I will have to believe they're all drugged.
