Fool Me Once Shame onshame on You But Fool Me You Cant Get Fooled Again

Fool me one time, shame on you
Fool me–can't get fooled once more

The bizarre report past Jim Miklaszewski of NBC news that US military sources are maxim Iran is the source of more sophisticated bombs used by Sunni Arab guerrillas in Iraq seems so unbelievable because it is. Poor Jim is the victim of a high-level Department of Defense black psy-ops functioning (or perhaps such an functioning has been supplied past a sub-contractor). You wonder if it is Doug Feith'southward departing souvenir to the American people– laying the background for a state of war with Islamic republic of iran.

This is the give-away sentence:

' Intelligence officials believe the high-explosives were shipped into Iraq by the Iranian Revolutionary guard or the terrorist group Hezbollah, but are convinced it could not have happened without the full consent of the Iranian government.

Earlier in the article it was declared that the supposedly captured shipment came from northeastern Iran. However by this later paragraph, the US military intelligence guys can't tell whether it came from the west or the east, or whether it came from Iran or Hizbullah. Simply if you don't know whether something comes from Lebanese republic or Islamic republic of iran, then you really don't know where it came from at all, do you? Lebanon and Iran are not similar each other. One speaks Persian, the other Arabic. Why, they aren't even close to i another.

Allow'south look at a map.

Practice you notice how Hizbullah (Hezbollah), which is Shiite, is in southern Lebanese republic, way over in the west of the map, on the Mediterranean? Do you lot notice how northeastern Iran (also Shiite) is way over to the east of the map, nearly the Caspian sea? Do you discover how at that place isn't any way to get from Lebanon to Iran except through Syrian arab republic and then Turkey? Exercise y'all notice how there isn't any way to get from Lebanese republic to Iraq except via Syria or Syria-and-Jordan? (Yous could fly, but if the Lebanese government is permitting air transport of 500 pound bombs out of Beirut, we have other bug than just some Iraqi arms smuggling).

Do you lot discover how there are 250,000 tons of missing munitions in Iraq, such that it is not necessary for the Baath military intelligence to import very many from elsewhere?

Practice you notice how the US military has non captured any Lebanese Hizbullah in the visitor of Sunni guerrillas in Iraq? Practice you lot notice how merely the Baathist ex-Minister of the Interior, Falah al-Naqib, an appointee of CIA nugget Iyad Allawi, ever alleged that he had captured Lebanese Hizbullah in Iraq? (Practise you lot notice how Allawi'southward Government minister of Defense, Baathist Hazem Shaalan, charged that Iran was Iraq'south number i enemy when he was briefly in ability last twelvemonth?)

Practise you lot notice how there are ii, count them, two, Iraqi organizations called "Hezbollah" (which just means "political party of God") and how Americans frequently are confused and think these are the Lebanese party, which they are non?

Do yous detect how the Usa military has not captured any Iranians in the Sunni Arab provinces of Anbar, Salahuddin, etc.? (Occasionally Iranian pilgrims have been captured in Shiite areas, where they threw in with Shiite militants.)

Practice y'all observe how the United states of america military has captured lots of Sunni Saudis, Jordanians, Egyptians, Sudanese, etc.?

Do you notice how the Sunni guerrillas talk nasty most the Shiites and blow them upward and slit their throats? Do you notice how some people are depending on y'all not to know that radical Shiites and extremist Sunnis don't like each other?

Practise you notice how the elected (Shiite) Iraqi government that the guerrillas are trying to impale has first-class relations with (Shiite) Iran?

Do you discover how some regional forces wanted Us wars against both Republic of iraq and Islamic republic of iran and are probably unhappy that they are merely going to get i bonbon, not two?

Exercise you find how some regional forces may have intelligence officers in northern Iraq that would be in a good position to laissez passer disinformation to the clueless (or overly eager) Americans?

Do you notice how the story of Iranian agents coming in through Kurdistan looks a lot like the story the FBI had accused spy Larry Franklin feed AIPAC to run across if they would run off to the Israeli diplomatic mission with it? Is it a counter-sting?

Practise yous notice how a cabal of plotters, including Franklin, Michael Ledeen, Harold Rhode, and the Italian Defense Department and military intelligence met with "the Iranian Chalabi," fraudster and Iran-Contra effigy Manuchehr Ghorbanifar, in an attempt to torpedo ameliorate relations between Iran and the United States?

Be afraid when you lot begin to come across US government agencies themselves handing out this highly suspect sort of information to major news networks. Information technology ways that the sting on the American people has moved from the smoke-filled back rooms to some college operational level.

Or maybe trial balloons are being floated to see how gullible we are.

Iraq to launch military, anti-terror cooperation with Iran

TEHRAN July 7

Iraq's defence minister, on a landmark visit to Iran, called Thursday for reconciliation betwixt the two neighbours and former arch-foes and pledged not to permit Iraqi soil to be used for attacks against the Islamic republic.

"We take come here to plow a painful page and to open another," Saadun al-Dulaimi said at a press conference with Iranian analogue Ali Shamkhani.

"I take come to Iran to inquire forgiveness for what Saddam Hussein has done," he said, referring to Saddam's set on on Islamic republic of iran in 1980 that sparked a bitter eight-year state of war and led to hundreds of thousands of deaths.

Dulaimi pledged that the two sides would begin military and anti-terrorist cooperation, but nevertheless asserted information technology was too shortly for U.s. and other foriegn troops to pull out of his country.

Islamic republic of iran is concerned virtually the US military presence on its borders and has repeatedly called for their withdrawal, but Dulaimi asserted that "given the present situation, if strange forces leave Iraq there will exist nothing but chaos and more than trouble."

"Iraq volition not be a source of insecurity and instability for any of its neighbors. Nobody tin can apply its soil to attack Republic of iraq'due south neighbors," Dulaimi insisted, in response to Iranian concerns over a possible American attack.

Tensions betwixt Iran and the The states are high over Washington's claims the clerical regime hither is seeking to arm itself with nuclear weapons. Tehran has as well been accused of backing Iraqi insurgents and Palestinian militants.

Shamkhani appear the formation of joint committees for military cooperation, the fight against terrorism, immigration minefields and investigating the missing soldiers from the 1980-1988 between Iran and Saddam's Iraq.

The military machine committee is aimed at "equipping the Iraqi army … to create an independent and cocky-sufficient Iraqi army", he said.

The Iraqi government minister pledged that the United States could not oppose the cooperation between the two countries: "Nosotros are going to cooperate and no one can stop this cooperation".

The 2 ministers, notwithstanding, agreed that more sensitive issues such as a peace treaty and state of war reparations were far from being resolved. The United nations resolution that ended 1980-88 Iran-Republic of iraq war did not provide for reparations.

"Nosotros take come to our Iranian brothers to ask them for help and nosotros take not however started on the more sensitive issues," the Iraqi minister said about the massive reparations — upward to 100 billion dollars — claimed by Iran.

"Our Iranian brothers accept promised us a billion dollar aid as a loan," he added.

About a peace pact, the Iranian defense minister said "information technology is nonetheless too soon, that will exist the final step in cooperation".

The 2 ministers also discussed the connected presence in Republic of iraq of Iran's master armed opposition group, the People'due south Mujahedeen, which Saddam supported in its cross-edge raids on Iran.

"The Mujahedeen can stay in Republic of iraq if they act like political refugees but they volition take no place if they act against Iran," Dulaimi said.

Shamkhani said the Mujahedeen would be on the agenda of the anti-terrorism committee.

Tehran and Baghdad resumed diplomatic relations in September 2004, and Iran's Strange Minister Kamal Kharazi paid an celebrated visit to Republic of iraq in May this yr.

Dulaimi arrived in Tehran on Tuesday night for a 3-day visit. '
