Here we go. World war at hand.
Gates says United States has evidence of Iranian involvement in helping insurgents in Iraq...
Recall the U.S. has double agents, Special Forces, and their own favorite terrorist group, the MEK, as well as the U.K . Joint Support Group operating in Iran. How easy it would be for them to aquire Iranian weapons and plant them in Iraq and say , "See! Smoking gun! Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran!

The war is illegal

SEVILLE, Spain -- Serial numbers and markings on explosives used in Iraq provide "pretty good" evidence that Iran is providing either weapons or technology for militants there, Defense Secretary Robert Gates asserted Friday.
Offering some of the first public details of evidence the military has collected, Gates said, "I think there's some serial numbers, there may be some markings on some of the projectile fragments that we found," that point to Iran.
At the same time, however, he said he was somewhat surprised that recent raids by coalition and Iraqi forces in Iraq swept up some Iranians.
Just last week, Gates said that U.S. military officers in Baghdad were planning to brief reporters on what is known about Iranian involvement in Iraq but that he and other senior administration officials had intervened to delay the briefing in order to assure that the information provided was accurate.
Speaking to reporters at a defense ministers conference here, Gates said Friday, "I don't think there was surprise that the Iranians were actually involved, I think there was surprise we actually picked up some."
He and other U.S. officials have said for some time that Iranians, and possibly the government of Iran, have been providing weapons technology, and possibly some explosives to Iraqi insurgents.
The improvised explosive devices (IEDs) have been a leading killer of U.S. forces in Iraq, where more than 3,000 servicemen and women have died in the nearly four-year-old war.
The Bush administration has promised a detailed accounting of allegations that Iran is contributing to violence or instability in Iraq but has not yet released that dossier. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and other officials have faced skeptical questions from lawmakers about the strength of the evidence and the parallels to administration claims about Iraq before the 2003 invasion.
"Under the circumstances and given the attention that this has gotten we want to make sure that we provide you the best information possible, but do so in a way that doesn't compromise sources and methods, that doesn't make it harder for us to deal with the situation that's there," State Department spokesman Tom Casey said Friday.
Gates, who is attending his first NATO defense ministers meeting, said Iran is "very much involved in providing either the technology or the weapons themselves for these explosively formed projectiles. Now they don't represent a big percentage of the IED attacks but they're extremely lethal."
Gates said the raids combined with the movement of an additional U.S. aircraft carrier into the Persian Gulf have created a stir, but said the Bush administration has no intention of attacking Iran.
Meanwhile, the defense secretary has been getting a lukewarm response here to his plea for allies to send more troops and aid for a spring offensive in Afghanistan.
Gates said the U.S. made no additional commitments for more troops of its own. He recently extended the tour of a brigade in Afghanistan, where the U.S. has 27,000 troops -- the most since the war began in 2001.
U.S. and NATO military leaders in recent months have repeatedly called on alliance members to send reinforcements and lift restrictions on where their troops can serve. On Thursday, Gates secured smaller offers from some nations, but he met resistance from key allies.
France and Germany are questioning the wisdom of sending more soldiers, while Spain, Italy and Turkey have also been wary of providing more troops.
"When the Russians were in Afghanistan, they had 100,000 soldiers there and they did not win," German Defense Minister Franz Josef Jung told reporters.
The meeting in southern Spain did produce some offers, however.
Lithuania, which already has 130 troops in Afghanistan, offered to send an unspecified number of special forces, helping to fill a key shortfall.
Germany says it will provide six Tornado reconnaissance jets but not significantly augment its 3,000 troops in the north. The Italian government said it would send a much-needed transport plane and some unmanned surveillance aircraft, but it is struggling to secure parliamentary backing for the finances needed to maintain a contingent of 1,950.
Spain also said it would send four unmanned planes and more instructors to help the Afghan army.
Gates said that after nearly five years at war with the Taliban, this spring will be critical because it could give the people of the country more hope.
"Each spring for the last several years, the Taliban have been more aggressive and there has been an increasing level of violence," he said. "There is a consensus on the part of the ministers that it is important that this year we knock the Taliban back."
The end of winter has traditionally brought an upsurge in attacks by Taliban militants in Afghanistan. U.S. commanders have already predicted that this spring will be even more violent than last year, when a record number of attacks included nearly 140 suicide bombings.
About 15,000 of the American troops are serving in the NATO-led force, which now totals about 36,000, while the other 12,000 are special operations forces or are training Afghan troops.

HON. RON PAUL OF TEXAS
Before the U.S. House of Representatives
February 6, 2007
It’s a bad idea.
There’s no need for it.
There’s great danger in doing it.
America is against it, and Congress should be.
The United Nations is against it.
The Russians, the Chinese, the Indians, and the Pakistanis are against it.
The whole world is against it.
Our allies are against it.
Our enemies are against it.
The Arabs are against it.
The Europeans are against it.
The Muslims are against it.
We don’t need to do this.
The threat is overblown.
The plan is an hysterical reaction to a problem that does not yet exist.
Hysteria is never a good basis for foreign policy.
Don’t we ever learn?
Have we already forgotten Iraq?
The plan defies common sense.
If it’s carried out, the Middle East, and possibly the world, will explode.
Oil will soar to over $100 a barrel, and gasoline will be over $5 a gallon.
Despite what some think, it won’t serve the interests of Israel.
Besides-- it’s illegal.
It’s unconstitutional.
And you have no moral authority to do it.
We don’t need it.
We don’t want it.
So, Mr. President, don’t do it.
Don’t bomb Iran!
The moral of the story, Mr. Speaker, is this: if you don’t have a nuke, we’ll threaten to attack you. If you do have a nuke, we’ll leave you alone. In fact, we’ll probably subsidize you. What makes us think Iran does not understand this?
You should make it a stand alone post.
Straight and to the point.
Ron Paul for president!
Did Gates provide any info photos the Ser.# any thing verifiable? No Not even a vague hint to the supposed proof. Lies the Whole lot. Every single bit of it bullshit. Same M.O. as last time is it not?. Lame really. Lame and Deadly.
"The former chief of staff of the Russian Army, Gen. LeonidIvashov doubts that "the world's protests can stop the U.S." and suggests that "the revenues of [the U.S.] military-industrial complex" is what "matters to Americans." I can only hope we prove him wrong, mobilizing to end the Iraq War, to impeach the war criminals in power, and to stop the attacks on Iran and Syria before they start." -- Gary Leupp, Professor of History at Tufts University, and Adjunct Professor of Comparative Religion, Feb. 9, 2007
Charging Iran with "Genocide" Before Nuking It

I'll get on your request, qrswave.
And yes, Masher1, lame and deadly indeed.
It was heart breaking indeed when we reach the point of realization. We realize that the media lies, the president lies, the congress is corrupt to the bone, etc. etc. etc.
Well I'll say it. These people are pure evil and the spawn of Satan. There is no good faith in them and I can't believe anything they say anymore. Remember the lies of Iraq. Why would you expect anything else.
Bankers want War, so that's what they are selling us.
Remeber that this is bigger than any of us, but fear not it's not bigger than all of us.
All day i looked for the info proving Iran had anything directly to do with any IED attacks. And by the Yapper on Gates this would have been the first image posted on his MSM bile sheet press release.
No cookie on ANY of the white house claims of any import in YEARS! Fracking Years!
Are you common Yanks going to foot the Ca$h for all this death policy for as long as you can?
Thought it's your only hope America.
(P.S. Seeing a new delay in responses from your server)
Well did anyone find this proof Gates spurted about? Did even one of the MSM shot catchers call for the cookie?
i could not find even one JPG of this proof. Shooting blanks Eh Gates?
Lame
The assertion of an Iranian role in supplying the device to Shiite militias reflects broad agreement among American intelligence agencies, although officials acknowledge that the picture is not entirely complete.
In interviews, civilian and military officials from a broad range of government agencies provided specific details to support what until now has been a more generally worded claim, in a new National Intelligence Estimate, that Iran is providing “lethal support” to Shiite militants in Iraq.
By some retard named Michael Gordon
Just because the White House says the sky is orange does not mean you have to re define blue and just because THERE "NIE" says bad things against Iran DOES NOT make them TRUE..
Just how you Americans always fall for this trick i will never know. Gates Lies his ass off.
Too bad they can't get Mr. Feith to handle this. As he is currently before a congressional committee, it appears that he is somewhat indisposed at the moment. There seems to be some nagging question as to whether or not he has been proferring intelligence "-in Good Feith".

I am Speechless This image is going to be used to justify nuclear winter?
Fracking speechless.
Suppose israel instead of 200 little nukes she made 3 Very large ones or more even say 6.
Now suppose that this group of Dimona built plutonium weapons were parts of buildings in select city's. I mean when you control the nuke detectors like you do in NY you pretty well can call the tune much like Apollo was done.
So does israel have a weapon in there embassy just like the surveys indicate? I suppose they could very well have just that.
Anyone seen any multi billion insurance policy's handed out lately????
Where is that damn "PUT" sniffer at.....
you make me want to NOT go to manhattan . . .
D.C. to the Hampton's just plain toast
And L.A just for that real good fallout effect from the residue of the bomb tests of the 60'.
The effects of ground bursts is WELL known and damn nasty.
If israel did infact GO LARGE and just produce a few high output "Sneak" attack type units then i would say to do the job and take control of the planet with there gold and "Unitarian executive" enabler and his most recent changes to US law along with there industrial might pouring over the belt of a sadly over fed machine. YES i would too be just a little spooked to visit any city in the states that is making BANK illegal wars!.
Including that is "The war on truth!"
The tops this is the target
Hollywood the propaganda production unit.
Washington as the government head.
And of lets not forget the banking head N.Y. city.
Heads will have to roll to enact "Single world government and banking" and you had better get the msg. THEY MEAN BIZ. Fire biz.
Do you want to hang around and play there rigged games or do you want to do something? The CA$H you worship so much is killing innocent humans can you live with that????
Uranium-238 Costs how much to clean up!?
