Bush today told Ed Henry of CNN, as I noted in the post below, that he has no idea if the senior levels of the Iranian government know anything about supposed weapons being supplied to insurgents in Iraq. Bush today:
We know the Quds Force is part of the Iranian government. I don't think we know who picked up the phone and said 'the Quds Force go do this,' we know it's a vital part of the Iranian government.The problem is, this outright contradicts what Bush's own "senior military" advisers told the American media just three days ago. They said they knew quite well who told the Quds force to "do this."
And I quote the AP:
At issue was a weekend briefing in Baghdad at which three senior U.S. military officials said that the ''highest levels'' of the Iranian government had ordered the smuggling into Iraq of high-tech roadside bombs that have been killing American soldiers.Highest levels. When in fact, during today's press conference, Bush had no idea if the highest levels in the Iranian government knew or directed the weapons infiltration, and he outright admitted it.
So, congrats to CNN's Ed Henry - the only journalist to actually do his job during the press conference and catch Bush in an outright lie.
