Bush and Co. are now telling us that Iran is funding and arming the rebels in Iraq. This is obviously an attempt to beat the drums for a new invasion, and given that their prior record of war justifications was based on lies and false connections — that Iraq was connected with Al-Qaeda, for example — it’s remarkable how the media isn’t calling them on this shit. At least put the word “alleged” in front of everything that comes out of the White House press office, for God’s sake! Their previous tack — Iran’s supposed nuclear weapon development — doesn’t hold much water, according to all reliable intelligence, so on to plan B, I guess. Funny, reliable intelligence didn’t stop them previously; they just found or made up the intelligence that fit their plan and most American news media outlets duly reported it as fact, and the majority of the American public and most politicians said OK. At least now these latter 3 might possibly not fall in line as they did before. There is hope.
