looks like the Bushies are back at Iran War Propaganda
Edited on Wed Apr-11-07 10:38 AM by LSK
BAGHDAD - Iranian intelligence operatives have been training Iraqi fighters inside
Iran on how to use and assemble deadly roadside bombs known as EFPs, the U.S. military spokesman said Wednesday.

Commanders of a splinter group inside the Shiite Mahdi Army militia have told The Associated Press that there are as many as 4,000 members of their organization that were trained in Iran and that they have stockpiles of EFPs, a weapon that causes great uneasiness among U.S. forces here because they penetrate heavily armored vehicles.

U.S. military spokesman Maj. Gen. William Caldwell would not say how many militia fighters had been trained in Iran but said that questioning of fighters captured as recently as this month confirmed many had been in Iranian training camps.

Caldwell also said the U.S. military had evidence that Iranian intelligence agents were active in Iraq in funding, training and arming Shiite militia fighters.

1. They haven't stopped, they simply were continuing plans behind
closed doors, it is all they wish for, more war, more profits and total control over the oil and "water" rights of a country that is not ours.

3. I thought we already invaded them on Good Friday, everyone knew we would ahead of time.
Was there a 72 business hour delay on that?

7. I can see it right now
CIA operatives torturing these captured Iranians until they admit that they are supplying ERP support to the "insurgency". This is so fucked up. Dammit we need to get rid of this administration!

:grr:
