Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

>>>they were actually talking about 2 different things- Pace about material for making bombs- Morrissy about rifles<<<


Material for making bombs? Here's Pace's summary of how he views Iran's involvement:


"On Monday, Gen. Pace said he had no firm knowledge that the Iranian government had sanctioned the arming of the Iraqi insurgents. It is clear that Iranians are involved, and it's clear that materials from Iran are involved, but I would not say by what I know that the Iranian government clearly knows or is complicit," Pace told the Voice of America."

To me Pace is making a general statement about involvement by Iran in supplying some "material" but probably not with the Iranian government's consent. To you he's talking strictly about bomb making material. How do reach that conclusion?


>>>It's amazing how the libs will bend over backwards to defend and protect the same scum who want to wipe Israel off the map<<<


I'm not defending anything. I'm taking what's said about Iran at face value. So far it looks like a rerun of the Iraq smoke screen. Bush is building up a dangerous threat that's NOT confirmed by US intelligence agencies and many military officials. Most recent dissenters.....Pace this morning and the just released NIE report:


"The NIE called Iran, along with al-Qaeda and other extremist groups, "accelerants" whose activities intensify the conflict. But Iran and Iraq's other neighbors, it said, are "not likely to be a major driver of violence or the prospects for stability because of the self-sustaining character of Iraq's internal sectarian dynamics."

At this point in the game the confidence you have in the Bush war apparatus is mind boggling. You've learned nothing from the past 5 years?
