Remember a week ago when I reported that Bush and Rummy were claiming that the Irani government was supplying explosive components for IEDs to the Iraqi resistance? Remember how at the time I said it sounded like we might be being duped, again?
Well, today the Chairmain of the Joint Chiefs of Staff just came right out and said there is no evidence whatsoever for Bush and Rummy to claim that Iran's government is behind this.
The top U.S. military officer said on Tuesday the United States does not have proof that Iran's government is responsible for Iranians smuggling weapons and military personnel into Iraq.So much for that story.
President George W. Bush said on Monday components from Iran were being used in powerful roadside bombs used in Iraq, and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said last week that Iranian Revolutionary Guard personnel had been inside Iraq.
Asked whether the United States has proof that Iran's government was behind these developments, Marine Corps Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a Pentagon briefing, "I do not, sir."
Are we ready to finally stop repeating the Bush administration's lies as truth?
