State Department: "The Iranians are up to their eyeballs in this activity."

<snip>

Asked by reporters Monday to provide more information on the charge, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said, "The Iranians are up to their eyeballs in this activity." He called the Baghdad presentation a "very strong circumstantial case," saying that he was "not going to try to embellish that briefing."

5. Truth is that the Unitary Executive has been so spoiled from the "9/11 magic"
over the past SIX YEARS, that they are slow at catching on that people are becoming numb to their fear mongering. Plus they best be careful with black flag ops because we, the American people will turn on them, the authoritarians, who we know are running this show if ANYTHING happens in the near future.

2. dates
On Charlie Rose last night, the Iranian ambassador to the UN said the dates on the ordnances that are supposed to have come from Iran were month/day/year, the way only the US does dates, and not day/month/year, the way dates are given in Iran. So, the stupid administraion can't even manufacture "evidence" properly.

6. I saw that and was looking for the picture again and could not find it
my thought was ALL Eurpoean countries and ALL Asian countries use the day/month/year and I was going to use it also as evidence it was manufactured. all the other stuff I know nothing about.

4. Embellish
He called the Baghdad presentation a "very strong circumstantial case," saying that he was "not going to try to embellish that briefing."

I think embellish might be the key word here.
