The Administration is lying to us again. Have we come so inured to their lies that it doesn’t matter anymore? Do we just shrug our shoulders and go on with our lives, unmindful of the things they are saying that will surely bring another military debacle? The lie now is against the Iranians. The Bush administration has said repeatedly that the Explosive Formed Penetrators that make up the “new” generation of IED’s in Iraq have come from Iran. They have even claimed they have serial numbers! If so, why haven’t we seen them?
Pepe Escobar in his yet to be released book, Red Zone Blues that I reviewed here said this of Iran and the EFP’s:
“Iran of course can be very persuasive, holding up some tasty cards up its sleeve- such as hard-earned intelligence directly implicating the Saudis in training the Sunni Arab muqawama (resistance) in Iraq on explosive form penetrators (EFP’S), which the Pentagon foolishly insists come from Iran. Everyone in Iraq knows it is operatives from “axis of fear” allies Saudi Arabia and Egypt-and also Pakistan-who have provided the Sunni Arab guerillas in Iraq with technology and training on improvised explosive devices and EFP’s.” pg. 79.
So who is telling the truth? Ask yourself whom you believe, Escobar who has spent years in Iraq un-embedded and in the mix of the Iraqi people, or George W. Bush who gave us the WMD’s that brought us to war with Iraq in the first place?
Enough of Bush and Company! If the Democrats fail to impeach over this, than throw them out with the Rethugs, to do anything less is to be an accomplice to genocide
