could it be that the media is making the case for war more than the Administration?
i don't know just a thought. |

There will always be an element of the ever present sensationalism in any story with the media, its what sells, its what people want to read. I'm even slightly sceptical too of the evidence there with the munitions being labelled the way they are, it might just mean they're from export stocks rather than domestic military.
I don't know!
Heck does anyone know how Iran labels its export munitions?
I disliked the idea of the US fiddling around for evidence though in the first place, just stinks too much of the last time they where doing that and came up with nothing in Iraq. And after all, the Iranians aren't stupid, arrogant maybe, but I'm not so sure they'd be keen to pull the US's tail either way with any kind of evidence. |

you know, before the Whole WMD, yellow Cake, Aluminum Tube fiasco of the Pre-Invasion Iraq reports, I would of told ya, STFU...... ;) but now, with what we know..... I can agree with my esteemed colleague from the Land Down Under.
So unless they have a video of the Ayalotoya Jackson Koolaidia lighting the fuse himself, I will always be skeptical.....:whip: |

The Iranians are crazy but not stupid. If they are shipping weapons to Iraq they are not going to put markings on them that would prove that they came from Iran.
And if the US was planting weapons why wouldn't we have put a big ass 'MADE IN IRAN' stamp on them?
Your scenario seems likely to me. |

In Israel they use the Hebrew calendar for all official government work, but all civil life uses the Gregorian calendar.
The military also uses the Gregorian calendar on armaments and so forth; however arms made for Israel usually have Hebrew characters on them.
...
Of course the official Iranian reply to this was, just like Lazfx; "How can you trust a regime known for fabricating evidence".
Although I've had a deeper suspicion all along that Iran is sending arms, men, and money to Iraqis (simply because they have been caught doing this by Israel in the Palestinian and Lebanese areas). However, the USA will need more than just this if they want a just causa belli in my book. |

I'm holding my tongue on this one for a little while longer. I've got about a dozen or so websites and sources that have quite a bit to say about this story and "evidence" against Iran, but I want to wait a wee bit longer to hear both sides before saying anything further.
I'm pretty damn skeptical, suffice it to say, and this is most definitely NOT a job done by the Press alone (except writer Gordon from the NYTimes who broke this story last Saturday, and who's the very same who helped Judy Miller with her WMD Iraq stories), as there is plenty of orchestration by this Adminstration as well. But I'll leave it at that for now and see how this completely unfolds. |
