so a story in WaPost was scrubbed about finding an ERP plant in Iraq
Edited on Wed Apr-11-07 11:43 AM by LSK
Over the weekend:

http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2007/4/7/145727/8998

And then today theres a story of a US Military spokesman who claims that Iran is training "insurgents" on ERP manufacturing in Iran.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070411/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq

Can we get these 2 events out there? Isnt it just too damn convenient that one story is scrubbed and then this story comes out a few days later.

The White House must be pissed that the British soldiers were released so now they have to go back to excuse #2342323 that Iran is supplying support to the insurgency.

The same insurgency which happens to be prodominantly SUNNI.

Edit: now I find this story of tortured Iranian diplomats:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=624980&mesg_id=624980

So did we torture Iranians until they admit they were helping with ERPs even thou they may not have been?

2. that's an odd claim anyway since we sell small arms all over the world to anyone with a checkbook
If there was a war in Mexico, you know both sides would be using our stuff. We'd just give a discount to the side we want to win.

The Washington Post should change its name to: The Faux Post
(they are definitely going weenie-a-weenie with the Moonie Times
for the least realiable source of truth in America)

4. Another manipulation. Does your body and mind ache from the way it is
we are twisted and knotted? We are suffering from CREDIBILITY TORTURE by our own leaders that we pay.
