dianavan BS: Who's Next? Iran or Korea? (1319* d) RE: BS: Who's Next? Iran or Korea? 18 Apr 07


Good link, bobad.

Yes, the propaganda is getting thick. The U.S. wants to blame Iran for the high-powered weapons being used by the insurgency when in fact the al qaeda linked Sunnis are more than capable of making their own rockets and other weapons.

"Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis had been employed in Saddam's huge arms industry, making artillery shells, rifles, land mines, mortars and missiles. The military factories have been abandoned or looted but some of the workers are thought to have joined the insurgency or offered their expertise in the fight against U.S. forces and their Iraqi allies."

In addition, they have Russian made arms and perhaps some from Syria and Iran. I wouldn't doubt that some Iranian weapons are making it across the border to Iraq but the U.S. has no proof that it is sanctioned by the Iranian govt. Besides that, Syria and Iran do have a stake in what happens in Iran so whats the surprise?

But the propaganda machine continues to churn and the public will soon believe that it is necessary for an invasion of Iran because they are supplying weapons that kill American soldiers in Iraq. In fact, most of the weapons are being produced by Iraqis in Iraq, many with materials that were looted shortly after the U.S. invaded Iraq by Sunnis loyal to Saddam who are being backed by al Qaeda, not Iran!
