Sticking To Their Story
Posted on May 11, 2008
It seems like the Neocons are forever bleating about Iran’s involvement in Iraq’s civil war. (And we all know how John McCain plans to address the situation.) Those of us who’ve been skeptical of Iran’s participation now have a reason to remain skeptical. From the Los Angeles Times blog: “There was something interesting missing from Maj. Gen. Kevin Bergner’s introductory remarks to journalists at his regular news briefing in Baghdad on Wednesday - the word ‘Iran,’ or any form of it… Not once did Bergner point the finger at Iran for any of these weapons and munitions, which is a striking change from just a couple of weeks ago when U.S. military officials here and at the Pentagon were saying that caches found in Basra in particular had revealed Iranian-made arms manufactured as recently as this year.” Tina Susman, reporting from Baghdad, also has this to say: “A plan to show some alleged Iranian-supplied explosives to journalists last week in Karbala and then destroy them was canceled after the United States realized none of them was from Iran.”
This story may not get much traction in the main stream media since major news outlets thrive on the gruel that’s being served up by our current administration. Lucky for us, the blogsphere doesn’t get its talking points from Dubya.
