[Rosemary2205]

the 5 Iranians they arrested are supposedly funneling money and weapons to al Sadr? ------- and the media is not even bothering to point out that al Sadr HATES Iran?

Yeah -- here we go with aluminum tubes and yellow cake again......

1. And the captured Iranians were working with the Kurds! n/t

2. The M$M doesn't look for facts, it looks for lies to help promote a new war.

To make more money you have to fuck people over and the M$M is more than happy to go along and get along.

3. And it took just- what? A few hours to get all this out of the Iranians?

And, presumably, to verify the information they provided? Amazing!

4. I was waiting for someone to point that out

our good puppet al-Maliki is Irans friend. Go figure. :eyes:

5. The Iraq Government is asking the US to let all 5 Iranians go

[blogslut]

6. Sadr hated Saddam too

Hussein killed his father and yet, he fought the invasion.

When are we going to stop calling it an insurgency? It was a resistance and always has been.

7. And we should believe what he says because....??

Has anything he ever said been even remotely true?

8. Bush is eager to get in on a religious civil war and make it a wider regional conflict.

And he has no clue who the players are.

9. Why not? Iraqi PM al-Maliki is.

It's funny that al-Maliki met for two days with Iran, but only like an hour with Bush. But al-Maliki is the guy Bush is staking his new surge plan on. Funny strange, not ha-ha.

10. More Bullshit from a Sociopathetic Liar: Busholini

The Busholini Regime wants to kill al Sadr because he is fighting to rid Iraq of the US Colonization.

11. Hints and allegations. But, where's the EVIDENCE? The British found NONE in Oct. 2006

ON THE IRAQ-IRAN BORDER -- Since late August, British commandos in the deserts of far southeastern Iraq have been testing one of the most serious charges leveled by the United States against Iran: that Iran is secretly supplying weapons, parts, funding and training for attacks on U.S.-led forces in Iraq.

A few hundred British troops living out of nothing more than their cut-down Land Rovers and light armored vehicles have taken to the desert in the start of what British officers said would be months of patrols aimed at finding the illicit weapons trafficking from Iran, or any sign of it.

...

"I suspect there's nothing out there," the commander, Lt. Col. David Labouchere, said last month, speaking at an overnight camp near the border. "And I intend to prove it."

Other senior British military leaders spoke as explicitly in interviews over the previous two months. Britain, whose forces have had responsibility for security in southeastern Iraq since the war began, has found nothing to support the Americans' contention that Iran is providing weapons and training in Iraq, several senior military officials said.

"I have not myself seen any evidence -- and I don't think any evidence exists -- of government-supported or instigated" armed support on Iran's part in Iraq, British Defense Secretary Des Browne said in an interview in Baghdad in late August.
