U.S. Says Raid in Iraq Supports Claim on Iran
A raid on a Shiite weapons cache in the southern city of Hilla one week ago is providing what American officials call the best evidence yet that the deadliest roadside bombs in Iraq are manufactured in Iran, but critics contend that the forensic case remains circumstantial and inferential. The new evidence includes infrared sensors, electronic triggering devices and information about plastic explosives used in bombs that the Americans say lead back to Iran. The explosive material, triggering devices, other components and the method of assembly all produce weapons with an Iranian signature that has never been found outside Iraq or southern Lebanon, where Hezbollah is believed to have used weapons supplied by Iran, the Americans say.So we claim we have them on the "aid to Iraq" "crime." What about the nuke scheme? Well U.N. calls U.S. data on Iran's nuclear aims unreliable
though international concern is growing about Iran's nuclear program and its regional ambitions, diplomats here say most U.S. intelligence shared with the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency has proved inaccurate and none has led to significant discoveries inside Iran. The officials said the CIA and other Western spy services had provided sensitive information to the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency at least since 2002, when Iran's long-secret nuclear program was exposed. But none of the tips about supposed secret weapons sites provided clear evidence that the Islamic Republic was developing illicit weapons.Well we don't need that anymore. Now we have a Fox NY report that NYC faces a terror attack from -- wait for it -- IRAN!
Boy if we ever needed hard evidence to attack Iran I guess Fox gave us the best.
Somebody has to stop us before we destroy the entire planet.
