Iran could be behind Israel bomb blast: Rumsfeld
Iran could be behind Israel bomb blast: Rumsfeld Tue Jul 12, 6:27 PM

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Iran could be behind the suicide attack at a shopping mall in Israel that killed at least four and injured dozens, US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said.

"I wouldn't want to suggest that I know about the attack today, but clearly that's been one of the stated and continuous purposes of Iran, to harm Israel," said Rumsfeld, speaking at a press conference with his Italian counterpart Antonio Martino.

"We know that Iran has been on the terrorist list. We know that Iran has been assisting Hezbollah and other organizations and moving equipment and people down through Damascus into Beirut and down into positions where they can attack Israel for years and years and years and years," he said.

5. If Rumsfeld said it, and Yahoo carried it,
then it's not a consipiracy theory, and must be true.

7. guess they've given up on bolton in the UN.
I surmise the one reason bolton is being pushed so hard and not abandoned, is that the korporate kriminals need him in the UN 2 give cover 4 invading Iran.

rummy is introducing us 2 a new talking point. saurove is still working!

9. Yeah, Rummy,
but it's what we don't know that we don't know. For instance, we wouldn't want to suggest that Rove told you to say this, but isn't this characteristic of Rovespeak? Put something out there, even though you say you don't know if it is true? Like what you all have done for years and years and years and years?

I call you on your horseshit, Rummy. If you dont' have something to say and can't back it up with EVIDENCE instead of suggestion, then STFU.

:grr:

16. Mossad is behind the suicide bombings.
It's a little trick called MK-Ultra they learned from the CIA.

Instead of being PUSSIES and hitting the alert button, try doing some goddamned research.

21. And who is behind Islamic Jihad?
It's a fact that Mossad created Hamas for their own purposes to undermine the PLO (Just as Poppy's CIA created Al Qaeda to mess with the Commies in Afghanistan)

Maybe these guys are Mossad flunkies as well. You can't deny that the suicide bomber problem first escalated at exactly the time Sharon needed it to in order to sell his agenda.

19. What a dumbass!
Islamic Jihad is behind the bombing. Could they be getting funding from Iran? Sure, but they could also be getting it from a hundred different places.
