Iraq
U.S. commanders in Iraq showed lawmakers (Lieberman) explosives that came from Iran
2007-02-10
I am sure this will be all over the MSM in the morning.
U.S. military commanders in Iraq have shown members of Congress explosive devices that bear Iranian markings as evidence Tehran is supplying Iraqi militants with bombs, a senior U.S. government official said Saturday.

One of the lawmakers, independent Democrat Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, said he has seen some of the evidence, though he would not be specific. "I'm convinced from what I've seen that the Iranians are supplying and are giving assistance to the people in Iraq who are killing American soldiers," said Lieberman, who was attending an international security conference in Munich.
Confirmed by a leading Democrat as a fact.
The senior official said military commanders in December showed lawmakers mortar rounds and other munitions and fragments that had Iranian serial numbers and markings.
"Look at this microscope lens here. See those raised letters 'IRAN'? That is why we think they come from there."

#7  And even if they are convinced they will insist on using Diplomacy and Talks and references to the UN INsecurity council until a major american city glows.

Then they will blame Bush for not taking care of it.

#6   The New York Times has a report on it. via Drudge, so many of those who don't actually read the NYT will see it.
Lucianne.com linked to an article in the Washington Times on the evidence Secretary Gates is presenting to those at the big security conference in Berlin. And then Brett's article is in Newsday, even if their subscribers likely number more doctor's/dentist's offices than individuals these days.

But I agree that a great many won't be pursuaded by any evidence short of their own, personal annihilation, and possibly not even then.

#5  Frank, one of the things Bill Clinton taught the Democratic Party is that there is no such thing as "truth" anymore, nor any need for shame: if you're a Democrat and you get caught in a lie, then just stand your ground, NEVER acknowledge your deceit, and keep right on lying.

Bastards...

#4  "Don't bet on it. I think we are getting a cassi belli against Iran for taking out their nukes, their air force and some senior leaders."

Other than Joe Lieberman, do you really think ANY Democrat in Congress is going to acknowledge that the evidence-- no matter how much of it is offered, or how incontrovertible-- means what we all know it means?

I certainly don't.

No matter what the evidence is, it isn't going to be acknowledged by any Donk as a cassus belli against Iran-- it'll just become another cassus Bushbashus. And they will do ANYTHING to keep Bush from attacking Iran.

#2  The assertions have been met with skepticism by some lawmakers still fuming over intelligence reports used by the administration to propel the country to war with Iraq in 2003. In fact, a report this week by the Pentagon's internal watchdog criticized prewar assertions by the Defense Department about al-Qaida's connections to Iraq

THAT is BS. The report this week cited Carl Levin's , D-Michiganistan, conclusions, based on comments by Carl Levin, D-Michiganistan, justifying comments made by Carl Levin, D-..., for the last three years. The WaPost got caught

#1  Don't bet on it. I think we are getting a cassi belli against Iran for taking out their nukes, their air force and some senior leaders.

Hopefully....
