anyone seen this? Iran Linked to Iraq Rocket Attack : ABC News
Edited on Wed Sep-12-07 07:40 PM by spanone
~snip~ the drums are beating

U.S. military officials in Iraq tell ABC News that a rocket used in an attack on coalition headquarters at Camp Victory Tuesday was made in Iran. Officials say the rocket, which narrowly missed its target, was fired from an area of Baghdad controlled by Shia militia leader Moqtada al Sadr.

Officials say it landed so close that it shook the windows of the al Faw Palace, which houses the operational headquarters of U.S. forces in Iraq. The top two American military officials in Iraq -- Gen. David Petraeus and Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno -- both have offices in the building. A video teleconference of senior officers was abruptly halted as officials rushed outside to see what was hit.

The attack wounded 11 coalition troops and killed one foreign worker.

1. Guess the leader of the Republican Guard can back up his statements
He just recently announced that the US should proceed carefully, as Iran has identified it's weak points in Iraq and Afghanistan.

3. Anyone seen this? "Saddam has WMD!!"
Did the rocket have "made in Iran" stamped on the side?

These unnamed "U.S. military officials" are, no doubt, specially selected liars and traitors.

The propaganda is transparent and is getting tiresome.

The republicans want to destroy the American republic and are the greatest danger to the Nation.

4. Our military is negotiating with Sadr
Maybe someone ought to notify ABC that we're negotiating with Iranian terrorists. If this is the game the Bushies want to play.

7. Bullshit. I don't believe a word they say. For all we know WE built the rocket and stamped Iran on
it or used the same things Iran uses to make rockets and call it Iran's. Their rhetoric is pathetic. Where's their PROOF?
