Rumsfeld says Iranian weapons found in Iraq

US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Tuesday that weapons "unambiguously from Iran" have been found in Iraq, and said it was "unhelpful" of Teheran to allow such weapons to cross the border.

"It is true that weapons clearly, unambiguously from Iran have been found in Iraq," Rumsfeld told reporters.

He would not comment on whether there was official Iranian involvement in the transfer of weapons, but said: "It's a big border and unhelpful for Iranians to be allowing weapons those of types to be crossing the border."

1. Most likely old shells lobbed during Iran/Iraq war.

Rummy is such a skunk.

[bribri16]

59. Bribri says, "US weapons found in Iraq." n/t

[SaveAmerica]

90. Big Time!

[eleny]

2. What about the U.S. weapons sold or given to Saddham?

Rumsfeld's gall stirs my bile.

[charlie]

4. Sold to Khomeini, too

Remember, Ollie thought it was a "neat idea."

[tabasco]

27. Providing weapons to both sides in a war.

Giving chemical weapons to Saddam Hussein.

But many will tell you what a great man Reagan was !

[TheFarseer]

3. Start screwing with Iran and you might find

some Sunburn missiles buried in our aircraft carriers. And tens of thousands of our troops buried in Arlington National.

[uppityperson]

5. Is he talking sticks and stones or did he specify what weapons?

[auburngrad82]

19. That's not the way it works. Details can be debunked.

Generalizations can't be effectively disproven. Or, more accurately, you can't easily prove that they are intentionally lying...

[maddezmom]

6. did he mention the American weapons found in Iraq?

or the chemical weapons he sold the Iraqi's during the Iran/Iraq war....nah...didn't think so. :eyes:

[charlie]

9. And 250 tons of stuff that goes boom

that Pinhead didn't secure at Al Qaqaa...

[maddezmom]

24. exactly....none of this is a surprise

just more fuel for the next invasion

[agingdem]

7. Uh huh...

and...what? We attack Iran?

[malaise]

11. Isn't that the plan n/t

[HereSince1628]

8. Not much to go on there, leaves many unanswered questions

Is this an unsupported assertion?
What is the nature of the weapons?
Who found them, when did that happen
Where were they found?
When did they enter Iraq? When could they have entered Iraq?
Are these military weapons or something that could have been manufactured and sold on the black market?

[The_Casual_Observer]

10. It is "unhelpful" that rumsfeld isn't locked up awaiting execution

for war crimes.

[Sperk]

12. Why isn't Dummy Rummy securing the Friggin' border then?!?!?

They're so full of shit.

[grytpype]

13. Uh oh, better invade Iran now.

Yep. Ol Rummy wouldn't lie to us, would he?

[Triana]

14. Beat on them war drums, MORON!

I doubt this country will be in ANY MOOD for another trumped-up war based on lies.

Dumbass. (not to say they won't launch one anyway - since they don't give a rat's a** what people think anyway)

[PuraVidaDreamin]

15. Ummm...Sorry. Don't believe you...

there's that little track record issue....

[cliss]

16. I have a couple of observations -

1) How does Rummy know the weapons are "unambiguously" from Iran. I assume they're blown up by the time the US gets to inspect them. How can you tell from dust? Did they have a "Made in Iran" sticker? Man, he's smarter than I thought.

2) What about Iraqi bombs? Like the 250 tons of it left at the Al-Qaqaa weapons dump?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

17. How does he know? Do they have stickers that read

"If found please return to 2222 Persia Ave, Tehran"?

[VegasWolf]

18. Rummy has just learned that Iran is buying enriched uranium from

Africa with the intent of producing ... Wait, that story has
already been used.

30. Also today: US weapons found in Canada!

This is the story in Toronto: a startling rise in armed violence, due largely to guns smuggled across the border.

For instance:

Mayor seeks PM's help
Toronto Mayor David Miller called the Prime Minister's Office yesterday to ask for help with the flood of illegal guns that have been used in a recent spate of shootings.

"The Prime Minister's Office assured me that they are already working to try and deal with the issue of gun smuggling," Miller said at a joint news conference yesterday with Toronto police Chief Bill Blair after two more shootings occurred Sunday night and yesterday morning, raising the toll to seven dead and 16 injured since July 24.

Given that half of the guns used in Toronto crimes come from the United States, Miller said Ottawa needs to do more to stop them at the border.

Spike in seizures of U.S. stun guns alarms officials
Canadian authorities are alarmed about a shocking rise in seizures of smuggled stun guns, even as U.S. manufacturers are stepping up their campaigns to sell the weapons to American civilians.

[olddad56]

123. US made weapons found throughout the world....

When the USSR invaded Afghanistan, we provided the Taliban with weapons and cash. Now when we illegally invade Iraq, it is suddenly a sin for their neighbors provide weapons to our enemy. Of course Iran is providing weapons. I'm would be surprised if Pakistan, Saudia Arabia, Libya and Syria weren't also. It is a war stupid. We didn't mind that Russia and China provided weapons to the North Vietnamese during our last major illegal invasion. We are pretty selective about choosing our enemy. They have to be extremely weak and unwilling to fight back. Then we will bully them around and destroy their country.

[NNN0LHI]

31. Wasn't it Rumsfeld who said...

...when asked where are the WMDs. "The WMDs? They are over there. Right over there in Tikrit."

And wasn't he the same idiot who was telling us the whole problem in Iraq consisted of a few dead enders over two years ago?

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

33. Yep, that's right... Halliburton got them in trade for the

nuke equipment they sold go Iran so they can put them in Iraq.

Oops, I mean Bam and Tehran :eyes:

[davekriss]

36. And Rummy knows just where they're from, too...

...they're from north, south, east, and west of Tehran.


Gimme' a f*cking break already! Not another false flag neo-imperial war to advance the self-interest of these fascists!!!

[robertpaulsen]

37. Unambiguous? Meaning the weapons are "east, west, south & north somewhat"

Please Rummy, that routine is so 2003. :puke:

38. Allowing 350 TONS of weapons to be stolen from under your nose

wasn't helpful either, Rummy!

4. Stories that Iran has centrifuges
5. Stories that Iran is restarting their "Nuke" Program
6. 14 Marines killed by an explosive device
7. 6 more Marines killed by an explosive device
8. Rummy says "It is true that weapons clearly, unambiguously from Iran have been found in Iraq."

9. :nuke:

Voila! War with Iran!

Why anyone in their right mind would believe Rummy (we know for a fact there are WMD in Iraq, we know how much and where it is) the Liar is beyond me.

We're one more terrorist attack away from World War III, and we better "hold onto our butts" because this war, may really be the "War to end all wars".

40. Cheney + Pakistan = Iran

Cheney + Pakistan = Iran

By Jason Leopold

When news of Pakistan’s clandestine program showed how the country’s top nuclear scientist was secretly selling Iran and North Korea, the so-called “Axis of Evil,” blueprints for building an atomic bomb were uncovered last year, the world’s leaders waited, with baited breath, to see how President Bush would punish Pakistan’s President Pervez Musharaff.

Bush has, after all, spent his entire two terms in office talking tough about countries and dictators that conceal weapons of mass destruction and even tougher on individuals who supply rogue nations and terrorists with the means to build WMDs. For all intents and purposes, Pakistan and Musharraf fit that description.

Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and top members of the administration reacted with shock when they found out that Abdul Qadeer Khan, Pakistan ’s top nuclear scientist, spent the past 15 years selling outlaw nations nuclear technology and equipment. So it was sort of a surprise when Bush, upon finding out about Khan’s proliferation of nuclear technology, let Pakistan off with a slap on the wrist. But it was all an act. In fact, it was actually a cover-up designed to shield Cheney because he knew about the proliferation for more than a decade and did nothing to stop it.

Like the terrorist attacks on 9-11, the Bush administration had mountains of evidence on Pakistan’s sales of nuclear technology and equipment to nations vilified by the U.S. -nations that are considered much more of a threat than Iraq -but turned a blind eye to the threat and allowed it to happen.

They can't even "guard" the concrete walled few miles of Iraqi
territory they call their own ("the Green Zone"). Even the dumbest
squaddie over there knows that to be sent out to "guard" the border
is a death sentence - no blast walls, no guard towers, no floodlights,
just lots & lots of space for landmines, snipers, mortar ambushes, ...

The thing that gets me over this is that some dumb shits will ALWAYS
believe the administration's lies ... they just can't get it into
their head that the politicians are murderous, lying bastards.

"Weapons clearly, unambiguously from Iran have been found in Iraq," he told a Pentagon briefing. "It's a big border. It's notably unhelpful for the Iranians to allow weapons of those types to cross the border." He did not provide further specifics.

Aug. 15, 2005 issue - Ten days ago, in Damascus, I sat down with a Syrian official I've known for years and asked the question on everyone's mind. What's with the jihadists crossing Syria's border into Iraq? There is no way anyone can control a long border like that, he said, sounding the official line. Then he dropped a bombshell. Of 1,200 suspected suicide bombers arrested by Syrian authorities since the beginning of the war in 2003, 85 percent have been Saudis.

"It's a big border." says Rummy. What an arrogant asswipe this man is. First of all how many experienced military men, most either prematurely retired or demoted, told him we needed more troops to SECURE the fucking border,not to mention to protect the infrastructure and to keep the country from sliding into chaos?

Second, how many tons of weapons were missing when we once again didn't have enough troops on the ground from the beginning to secure the very weapons that are most likely being used now to kill our own soldiers?

Third, we shouldn't be there at all. This is an illegal war brought to us by lies and scare tactics and being run by the most incompetent bunch of jackasses ever.

Rumsfeld: Iraq bombs 'clearly from Iran'
Tehran denies involvement

Wednesday, August 10, 2005; Posted: 10:35 a.m. EDT (14:35 GMT)

Donald Rumsfeld, right, and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Richard Myers speak to reporters Tuesday.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Tuesday that weapons recently confiscated in Iraq were "clearly, unambiguously from Iran" and admonished Tehran for allowing the explosives to cross the border.

Iran's defense minister denied the claims in a report carried by the state-run news agency IRNA.

According to Ali Shamkhani, Iran is playing no role in Iraqi affairs, including "its alleged involvement in bomb explosions."

[Goldmund]

95. Of course

They were made in places North, South, East and West of Tehran.

[ET Awful]

96. Hey Rummy . . . what the hell happened to those hundreds of tons

of military grade explosives that y'all let vanish last year?

[slor]

97. This from the putz...

that said he knew exactly where the WMD were.

[truebrit71]

98. They couldn't be more obvious about their next target...

..if they fucking TRIED....:grr:

I have a sneaking hunch there will be no Election in 2008 right after this country suffers a (small, not-too-lethal) nuclear attack of some kind that is directly traced back to Tehran, and marshal law is declared....

I really think we are getting to the end of the road as far as what this country used to be about, and are on the verge of a military "strike first" dictatorship the likes of which this planet has never seen....

I am now, officially, worried.....

[unblock]

99. of course, NONE of iraq's weaponry was made in the usa

absolutely none of it.

all the stuff we gave iraq during the iran-iraq war, saddam converted to humanitarian aid....

Rummy: How did get this explosive information over here so fast?
Staffer: I Ran, Sir.

[Zenlitened]

102. Um, Mr. Rumsfeld, why have you failed to secure the border with Iran?

Just how incompetent are you, Mr. Rumsfeld? Have you gotten ANYTHING right since the day the invasion began?

It's unbelievable. This guy is all bluster and big talk, but he doesn't have an ounce of brains in his head.

[punpirate]

103. There's always a grain of truth in the...

... big lie. The MEK was aligned with the Hussein government because they had similar objectives--causing trouble for the Iranian government. Common sense would say they would be sympathetic to the Sunnis.

The MEK is in Iran.

Of course, what isn't said is the degree to which the CIA has been assisting the MEK in its goal to overthrow the clerics in Iran.

all come together to stop us? There has always been much more anti-Bush sentiment everywhere but here. Individually, we are the most powerful, but we are not more powerful than the rest of the developed world put together.

[buzzard]

108. The rest of the world may be afraid of the use of nuclear weapons

by the deranged lunatic in your Whitehouse.

105. I really do wonder if we've already started bombing Iran yet

After all, we were bombing Iraq before we officially started the war and we're hearing the same bullshit rhetoric from Rummy and Bolton and the rest of the team about Iran's misbehavior. As we know, the plan was first Iraq, then Iran, then Syria so we are right on schedule. If we haven't started bombing them yet, anyone care to place a bet as to when we will be starting? Before Congress comes back from recess perhaps? Are they allowed to attach Iran without permission from the Senate?

Ooops- silly me! I forgot who we are dealing with. They don't play by any rules (or they make up their own as they go along). Therefore, if they feel like attacking Iran, (or simply dropping a few bombs), I'm sure they will do so regardless of Congressional approval.


Relocating to Costa Rica is sounding more and more enticing...

[obxhead]

115. The bombs will begin dropping within hours

of the next terra attack. I'm sure thats scheduled a few weeks before the 2006 elections.

[malaise]

106. Why does the media continue

to allow this man to invent lies to suit their agenda. I am sick of these people. When the hell will this stop.

[NNN0LHI]

111. Allow? They are part of the scam n/t

[malaise]

131. Too true n/t

[indypaul]

112. He should have no difficulty recognizing

munitions Ollie North and that gang of thieves sold
to Iran, ask GHWBush if you need further confirmation.

113. Iraqi Interior Minister Bayan Jabr: RumsFAILed full of crap

Interior Minister Bayan Jabr told reporters that Iraqi security forces recently opened fire on a group of men carrying boxes near the Iranian border. The men dropped the boxes and fled back into Iranian territory. Inside the boxes were dynamite sticks with some wires.

"This is all that happened at the border and was very much exaggerated," Jabr said.

114. bwahhhaaaaahahahahhahhahah

[justjones]

116. And we clearly don't believe a damned thing coming out his pie-hole. eom

[mom cat]

117. Tell Rummy to guard the fricking border!

[Mammoth]

119. hell yeah

"It is true that weapons clearly, unambiguously from Iran have been found in Iraq. That's a big border and it's notably unhelpful for the Iranians to be allowing weapons of those types to cross the border. It's a problem for the Iraqi government. It's a problem for the coalition forces. It's a problem for the international community. And ultimately it's a problem for Iran." --Rummy

Rummy's blamed everybody but Clinton (...give it time) but isn't this actually Rummy's problem for not authorizing a plan securing the borders, despite noted security issues on the Syrian line?

Geez, this guy clearly should really quit pointing out the shortcomings in the war plans that he OK's. Past plans for troop deployment and allocation have also famously failed to secure weapons depots (as noted in an earlier post) in favor of securing oil reserves, and I believe even some cities where victory has been claimed have to be left vulnerable as troops are scattered to other parts of the country.

Whoops...Rummy actually did have a plan to stop proliferation from Iran: the non-existent flower-bearing Iraqi folks greeting us as liberators were supposed to guard that border.
My bad.

[mom cat]

128. Submit this as a LTTE! .....Great writing!

[mom cat]

WMD's were.

[Beetwasher]

'Nuff said.

[manly]

Wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf wolf!You despicable fool.
While you're at it, keep your eyes open for those WMDs, asshole.

[mom cat]

130. Any country that can't guard their borders should be nuked!?????

Rummy...Why don't YOU guard the border from the Iraqi side? Not enough troops you say. :puke:

[Megahurtz]

121. Great! Here we go again......

Now we're going to be even more fucked than we already are.:hurts:

[sakabatou]

122. They'll try anything to make the WMD story believable...

[lonestarnot]

125. I wish they would find dummyass rummy's ass for him in Iraq! Who'd

believe anything that liar has to say about anything?

[geckosfeet]

126. Shocking but True: Some citizens of middle eastern nations

furious over US invasion !

I wonder if this is news to Rumfuck and his band of merry men.

[bushisanidiot]

127. Were they buried under the u.s. made weapons that rumsfeld sold to sadaam

in the 80's, or were they just sitting right next to them.

and how much money did dickhead cheney make when his halliburton war profiteering company sold weapons to sadaam in the 90's ??
