#2 That does not translate that the Iranian government per se, for sure, is directly involved in doing this, Pace told reporters in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta. What it does say is that things made in Iran are being used in Iraq to kill coalition soldiers.

Wahahahaha... "per se, fir sure" "things made in Iran" ...could be angry Hoosiers from New Harmony, who knows? What a load of rubbish. He missed his true calling, should have been a lawyer.

#3 He is making a power play since he thinks the Democrats will win the white house, or he is incredibly fucking stupid.
It is called a shadow/unconventional war by Iran on us for a reason. Kinda like how Soviet and Chinese made material ended up in North Vietnam, but those governments were not really directly involved.
General, there are times you just need to stay away from the press and stop causing the enemy to think it is ok to keep killing our boys. Asshat.

#6 I understand General Pace's point, but he is showing a degree of nuance usually only found in junior senators from Massachusetts.

If we discovered Australian made equipment in the hands of the insurgents, none of us would think Howard's government was playing both sides of the fence. But for pete's sake, these are the Iranians we are talking about, the Terrorist's Home Depot.

#7 Dread, that's Austrian, not Australian.

#8 Ah! Didn't see the Steyr comment, but it proves the same thing. General Pace is being obtuse suggesting that point of orgin of Iranian equipment is not necessarily an indictment of the Iranian govt.

#9 Okay folks, it's time. Austria has forefeit it's right for self namen. I propose it be called Very Lower Bavaria . This name change will save 12 Millions of Euro Pounds and allow the AirShip Industry to Thrive. Thousands and thousands of jobs will be created in this manner using surplus stolen underwear.
