Bush Administration "Postpones" Publishing EVIDENCE of Iranian Interference in Iraq

[bigtree]

surprised?

Take your quarrels elsewhere, Bush told

Bob Deans in Washington
February 2, 2007

THE Iraqi Prime Minister, Nuri al-Maliki, has told the United States and Iran to take their quarrels elsewhere, saying he will not permit his country to be caught in the crossfire.

"Solve your problems outside of Iraq. We do not want the American forces to take Iraq as a field to attack Iran or Syria, and we will not accept Iran to use Iraq to attack the American forces," Mr Maliki told CNN.

The US Under Secretary of State, Nicholas Burns, sent another warning to Iran against interfering in Iraq, saying US officials had "picked up individuals who we believe are giving very sophisticated explosives technology to Shia insurgent groups who then use that technology to target and kill American soldiers".

However, the Bush Administration has postponed plans to publish a "dossier" of Iranian interference in Iraq, with some officials divided over the strength of the US evidence.

[bdamomma]

1. we need to do something with our out of control pResident

[Postman]

2. There is no evidence. If they had hard evidence, it would have been produced.

And even if they have evidence, so what.

You thought Iran would stand by and let you destabilize the region?

Iran hasn't traversed the globe to invade other countries like the US has

[Contrary1]

17. Nah...no evidence needed . The decider decides.

And, if by "produced" you mean manufactured, I agree.

[Demeter]

40. The Ink Hasn't Dried Yet

[MUAD_DIB]

3. BushCo must be looking for a plausibly credible "Sucker" like Powel

to go before the UN with bogus intel.


WMD crap all over again.

[Marr]

4. They haven't finished drawing the pictures.

Pictures are very convincing proof, y'know. Got to wait for the sketch guys to finish.

[Botany]

8. Can't forget Iraq's mobile "factories of terror."

From back in the day .... taking microbiology classes ..... you need 100% clean
environments to culture microbes.

"The Lab" turned out to be for weather balloons but that did not stop bush and
Cheney from continuing to spread the lie.

[catnhatnh]

14. Desperately Seeking...

the Winnebagos of Death....

[havocmom]

16. Ah, yes, troops clad for protection against pollen of mass distraction

REALLY, did the DOD think all the bare skin would make for a convincing picture?

[Botany]

18. and the canvass covering to a truck just screams bio-lab

[havocmom]

19. And, I noticed no duct tape anywhere

I live in a desert. The only thing that truck was doin was collecting dust.

[Botany]

20. Even after we found this "lab"

The President, the Vice President, and Condi continued to talk
about the "mobile lab," we captured. I think it was for almost
1.5 years for Cheney to quit spreading this lie.

This was supposed to be a smoking gun? The whole damn thing
was based on lies.

[havocmom]

21. The Goebbels method, taught most recently by Newt

Truth doesn't matter. Just keep repeating what you want people to believe.

They are still doing it. So outta touch they can't even see it no longer plays in Peoria ;)

[Botany]

22. Read those stories .... the one guy in a hat looked like he wanted to slug *

BTW

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x100522

Double the # of troops sent to Iraq ..... not 21,500 but 35,000 to 48,000.

[havocmom]

23. Saw that one too. Not surprised in the least. Nothing NEW in his 'new direction'

Same old evil alchemy of turning blood into gold for his masters.

Time for Congress to yank his credit card TODAY!

[Botany]

24. I just called both of my Senators from Ohio and going to call

my Repug Congressperson ....

A war with Iran and double the # of troops for his "surge."

A close friend's son is either in Iraq or on his way to be a "Hummer Driver,"
joined up and promised "special forces" trained for it and did great but
they now need him as a body in Iraq.

[Marr]

51. That's why the people who say the Bush Admin. "got bad intel" just kill me.

Even if you ignore the countless stories of beauracrats, intelligence officers, etc. that specifically told them their claims were unsubstantiated prior to the invasion, the Bush team was repeating claims like this "mobile lab" nonsense long after they'd been publicly proven false.

It's all the same behavior. One long, uninterrupted lie.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

29. Don't forget the Iraqi UAV!

[leveymg]

54. I love those paper masks - great protection from weaponized anthrax

They came prepared.

[bigtree]

9. need someone who can draw a good mushroom cloud . . .

[dapper]

49. Looks like a Rum Run...

Maybe they were making Beer?

I guess Bush was angry he wasn't invited!


Dapper

[KittyWampus]

5. I've managed to keep fear of us attacking Iran to a minimum but Parry's article

has me spooked.

[Old and In the Way]

6. With the logic being employed by this administration, we'll soon be at war with every country.

Every adjacent country to Iraq is open to this logic. As we widen the war, more adjacent countries will get sucked in. Where will it end?

[BRLIB]

33. IRAN IRAN IRAN, the problem is IRAN as Limbotomy says.

And the media repeats these lies in a unanimous chorus, implicitly assuming that Iraq's neighbor should have no influence there, whereas the country that invaded Iraq in the first place has no guilt.
Maybe soon it will be Russia that is meddling in Iran and we'll hear Russia Russia Russia, the problem is Russia.

[davekriss]

7. Remember the "white paper"...

...that was going to unequivocally prove that Al Qaeda was behind 9-11? Bush and Powell promised it shortly after that day. We, the American people, never saw it. I expect this "dossier" to be vapor-proof as well.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

10. Why? Haven't they had enough time to manufacture it?

Geeze, how can they expect our service people to lay down their lives for them if they can't even manufacture evidence in a timely manner?

[Skidmore]

11. That's the first thing I've heard Maliki say that sounded genuinely

independent and not forcefed * adminstration crap.

[spanone]

12. Still trumping it up.

[bigtree]

13. fool us once . . .

fool

[mmonk]

15. It takes awhile to make things up and issue it through media plants.

[babylonsister]

25. They're backing down, maybe because Iraq masterminded the attack?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x99654

[bigtree]

26. these two stories HAVE to mesh

good catch, babylonsister :hi:

[babylonsister]

27. Would be nice if some media whore connected the two, wouldn't it.

I'm not holding my breath. :hi:

[confludemocrat]

28. But Mr Puppet, I mean Mr. Maliki, the world is Bush's bloody playground,

and that doesn't exclude your country!

[killbotfactory]

30. It takes time to forge documents, and photoshop pictures

They got nothin'

[anitar1]

31. He needs his Saudi friends to tell him to back off. n/t

[Beelzebud]

32. Deja Vu. Get ready for war with Iran...

Can we impeach this motherfucker yet?

[formercia]

34. Burns doesn't know what he is talking about

That so-called sophisticated explosive technology that Iran is supposedly giving to the Shia insurgents we gave to the Afghan Insurgents in 1981 to use against the Soviets. I know, I was there. It's nothing but unadulterated blowback that Junior's administration is trying to pawn off on someone else for decisions made by his father and Director Casey.

[marmar]

35. A "dossier"? Try a port-a-potty.....

full of shit. :argh:

[Imagevision]

36. After Bush on Iraq's wmd's, how can you possibly believe hm again...what?

this time the intel is correct.

[Martin Eden]

37. Interfering in Iraq

Is Bush saying that "interfering" in Iraq is wrong?

Does he understand the concepts of irony and hypocrisy?

[madrchsod]

38. the next Ngo Dinh Diem?

[shaniqua6392]

39. They need to hurry and make something up!!

Just like they did with Iraq.

[Generator]

41. Who does this Nuri al-Maliki think he is?

Bush is president of Iraq. Sheeez.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

42. Well they had to do SOMETHING with those aluminum tubes and yellocake, and photos of

trailers. Why not change the labels and dates?

[Roland99]

43. This is HUGH!!!11!11!!!!11!!!

They're going to have to go back to the drawing board and rework and edit to come up with some more believable lies.

[PATRICK]

44. Unknown heroes

digging their heels in? Being ground up silently like last time, perhaps threatened and fired and no one else is blocking the clear path to another war crime.

Perhaps the Senate could intervene THIS time and question intelligence officials now to short circuit the cooking of the pretext to war- again again- and give support to whomever might be still trying to do their duty in there. They should get involved here so we don't have to sit back and watch helplessly what happens over "there".

[ClintonTyree]

45. "Hope is not a strategy"....

Albright:

<snip>
"The President's current policy should be viewed less as a serious plan than as a prayer. It is not about reality. It is about hope. And hope is not a strategy."

She said it would be a disaster for US troops to stay.
<snip>

Faith based foreign policy? :wtf: I guess Bush thinks that since he was chosen by god to rule this country that god will personally guarantee the success of any half-assed "plan" he puts forward. News flash, moron, god hasn't been behind you one iota so far, what makes you think the invisible cloud being is suddenly going to join you in your crusade to dominate the middle east? God, please save us from your believers!

[Coes]

46. that Iran dossier needs to be

"sexed up". Remember the headlines - regarding Iraq -from the English papers?

"Looking at it from a different angle", was what Rummy made it sound like. :rolleyes:

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

47. "some officials divided over the strength of the US evidence"

Where have I heard that before? MKJ

[Vidar]

48. Just can't fabricate it fast enough.

[IWantAChange]

50. My question is - Has the country learned ANYTHING?

Lies and fabrications have cost America 27000 dead and wounded to date - with incalculable stress and hardship on hundreds of thousands of other soldiers and their families yet to fully manifest itself - to say nothing of the 400+ billion of treasure NOT being spent to fix the myriad of problems existing in this country.

Has America learned not to trust these people and finally say NO???

[flying_wahini]

52. Maliki is sounding more and more like he's grown testicles

he's probably worried about getting "accidentally" shot in the back

[deutsey]

53. I wonder how much attention this will get in the US corporate media?

:eyes:

[spanone]

55. Iraq showed 'em you should wait till you've already attacked.

Then it doesn't matter at all what the TRUTH is.

[sakabatou]

56. If there is evidence

it should have already been produced.

[erpowers]

57. Not Surprised

I am not surprised that they will not release the information showing Iran is interfering in Iraq. I would not be surprised if the information is either old or non existant.
