Officials: White House Holding Back Report Detailing Iran's Meddling in Iraq

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A plan by the Bush administration to release detailed and possibly damning specific evidence linking the Iranian government to efforts to destabilize Iraq have been put on hold, U.S. officials told FOX News.

Officials had said a "dossier" against Iran compiled by the U.S. likely would be made public at a press conference this week in Baghdad, and that the evidence would contain specifics including shipping documents, serial numbers, maps and other evidence which officials say would irrefutably link Iran to weapons shipments to Iraq.

Now, U.S. military officials say the decision to go public with the findings has been put on hold for several reasons, including concerns over the reaction from Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — as well as inevitable follow-up questions that would be raised over what the U.S. should do about it.

...

One military official pointed to recent anti-Ahmadinejad comments coming from inside Iran — including from former President Mohammad Khatami who has urged a reduction in tensions with the United States — as an indication that Ahmadinejad may already be under growing domestic pressure. Given that, there is some feeling that now may not be the best time for the U.S. to be making a public case against the Iranian leader without risking an anti-U-S backlash.

1. start the war already, just please save the bullshit....

I'll even sign up before a draft goes into effect, can we just drop the charade of big bad Iran. I wish the chimp would just say, "we want their oil, so we're gonna nuke'em, any questions?"

[joemurphy]

2. F**K this shit. Let's see it, flyspeck it, and decide what there is

to it. And if there is anything to it, let's see if what the Iranians are doing justifies the new war that Bush seems so anxious to get underway.

[goforit]

3. Isn't just very dandy of them......Tanks for more propaganda from Faux!

[Canuckistanian]

4. Why would Iran want to destabilize Iraq?

Things are going well for Iran.

The Shi'a are in charge in Iraq, the Americans are helping. All is right with the world, from an Iranian viewpoint.

The best thing Iran could do is to shut up and do nothing.

[donco6]

5. Holding back my ass. They're DYING to release .. . .

more propaganda.

[Infinite Hope]

8. Of course, that's why they're not releasing it.

OMG it's a conspiracy and they're really dying to release it which is why they're really keeping it because up is down and left is right so if they aren't doing something it's because they really want to. :sarcasm:

[Mnemosyne]

6. We're still waiting for the Iraq "proof"

that Kindasleezy claimed they would show.

Same old, same old.

[damntexdem]

7. And do they also have a list of hundreds of Communists in government?

Are they also postponing its release?

I don't believe a thing they say they have, nor anything they might claim in a report.

It's not that Iran might not try to do something. It's that I distrust the Bushistas much more than I do Iran, even though the government of Iran is ALSO full of religious nutcases.

9. Wow, the state-run news service has an exclusive on this story?

What a shock.

[daleo]

10. They're holding back

More like tuning the Wurlitzer.

[superconnected]

11. Faux should be held accountable for starting illegal wars along with bush.

Are they ever going to be held responsible for the very real blood shed they have caused?

Did the german magazines and news papers toting jew propaganda ever get held responsible after world war II?

[pinniped]

12. These wh POS meddled in the entire region.

They got NO right to bitch.

I heard they have a compact disc detailing these 'alleged' weapons shipments to Iraq.

I bet these assholes found it in the same house in Afghanistan where the fat Osama VHS tape came from.

[Bhaisahab]

13. a "dossier?" yeah right.

just like there was this BIG ASS dossier detailing Iraq's WMD programme. looks like the guy planning the iranian mission at the Shit House is not even bright enough to plan a piss in an open field.

[Miss Chybil]

14. They're waiting for somebody to draw the pictures to go along with the story. nt

[HuffleClaw]

15. until the 'usual suspects' rant and rave about it enough

cute.

[Warren Stupidity]

16. Ah finally the 'whitepaper' for the next fraudulent war is ready.

The pre-reviews are out: 'massive bullshit', 'created out of whole cloth', 'a dreary mindless sequel to the pathetic pre-Iraq war propaganda campaign'.

But wait, what is that I see? Yes it is our compliant media once again mindlessly, uncritically, obediently regurgitating the half truths, outright falsehoods, obviously contradictory bullshit put forth by their masters. Yes and there they are right behind them, our false political leaders queuing up to vote for more war lest they be seen as soft on defense, as not willing to have us once again shoulder the burden of their fake war on terra.

[LynnTheDem]

17. One word...

bullshit

Yet again.
