Do You Believe This 1? US Intell SUDDENLY Finds Evidence Iran Arming Iraq
And if you believe this one... US military and intelligence officials have suddenly "found" evidence of Iran arming the insurgents in Iraq


By BRIAN ROSS, RICHARD ESPOSITO and JILL RACKMILL

March 6, 2006 — U.S. military and intelligence officials tell ABC News that they have caught shipments of deadly new bombs at the Iran-Iraq border.

They are a very nasty piece of business, capable of penetrating U.S. troops' strongest armor.

What the United States says links them to Iran are tell-tale manufacturing signatures — certain types of machine-shop welds and material indicating they are built by the same bomb factory.

"The signature is the same because they are exactly the same in production," says explosives expert Kevin Barry. "So it's the same make and model."

U.S. officials say roadside bomb attacks against American forces in Iraq have become much more deadly as more and more of the Iran-designed and Iran-produced bombs have been smuggled in from the country since last October.


This is EXACTLY how they led us into Iraq under false pretenses. And it's rather disturbing that ABC News reports this as an "exclusive," yet doesn't bother mentioning that critics worry that this may be another ploy to get the US to attack a country in the region based on faulty or doctored intelligence.

1. Yes....I Believe....
There is NOTHING that I don't believe anymore.

If you told me that they have proof Sadamm is running things in Iran, I'd believe they said it too.

Pretty much 99% of the stuff they say these days is a LIE.

3. Doesn't the media get sick and tired if lying? Don't they understand that
the world is onto them? Iran is arming Iraq. F**k, two or three months ago it was Syria.

I say it's the Carlyle Group. Nuke their asses.

4. telltale MACHINE SHOP WELDS?
WHO THE FUCK ARE THEY KIDDING? Pretty soon they will say the the weld grinding has a unique signature which lets them finder the welder, metal worker, and the location deep inside Iran.

This is so much bullshit that I can't even begin to describe how idiotic these " news releases" are.

5. Well, duh, who didn't see that one, think about it though, if.........
......Canada was being attacked and invaded don't you think we'd try to step in and help if possible? So I have no doubts what so ever that Iran is arming insurgents in Iraq.

Yes, I also think this is another flimpsy attempt to make a case for war with Iran. The one thing that this administration seems to ignore though is the head of Iran is one of those who were involved in taking the hostages during Carter's administration. In other words this guy is NOT ABOVE pulling out all the stops in a war with anyone.:nuke:

12. SCIRI and Badr Corps long known involvement in Iraq
This is not to say any big push in *News* of Iranian involvement will not be used and construed in such a way as to hype this to the Sheep but, this is not a "sudden" event. Iran has infiltrated many people into Iraq prior to the US invasion and post-invasion.
