If an Iranian Weapon Bust Turns Out Not To Be Iranian...

crooksandliars.com — Does it make a sound in the US Corporate Mainstream Media? Answer: NO! This past Wednesday a Pentagon plan to show some alleged Iranian-supplied explosives to journalists in Karbala and then destroy them was canceled after the United States realized none of them was from Iran. OOPS! The MSM still hasn't reported this. Move along nothing to see here

  • IrishJoe, on 05/11/2008, -6/+32Another instance of this was a year or two ago when the Bush Administration claimed that a Sunni Militia group was using weapons that could only be made in Iran. Why Shiite Iran would be supplying a Sunni Militia group they couldn't say. Then our troops found that the weapons were actually being made in Iraq in the Sunnis military camp. The Bush Administration's claims that the weapons could ONLY be made in Iran turned out to be false as the WMD and Saddam's behind 9/11 claims that lead to the Iraq war. Don't the administration and the MSM realize that we're seeing through these deliberate frauds????
    • caferrell, on 05/11/2008, -5/+19Joe, you and I and another couple of thousand people pay enough attention to see through the lies.

      But we are not enough people to make a difference. Over 80% of Americans get their news from Mainstream TV and they choose to believe one of the several different flavors of what they are told by the different channels.

      The sheep are unfortunatley NOT going to look up.
      • macweirdo42, on 05/12/2008, -1/+12The simple fact of the matter is, most people don't know what's going on because they don't want to know. They have no interest in getting to the truth, because it would take time out of their self-obsessed lives.
        • IrishJoe, on 05/12/2008, -1/+6macweirdo42, both you and caferrell make excellent and valid points. Caferrell’s that those of us who are making the effort to learn news not reported by corporate media (at least on TV where most people get their news) are few and we are fighting an uphill battle to inform others and macweirdo42, you make an excellent point that far more people *could* learn what we’ve learned if they made more of an effort. Thank you both.
  • IrishJoe, on 05/11/2008, -6/+21I should give credit to the LA Times which did report on this, but most Americans get their news from TV news programs which have remained mum on this and the earlier claim of Iranian manufactured weapons that turned out to be false. Hats off to Tina Susman and the LA Times for breaking the silence on this. Thank you for this.
  • tomaburque, on 05/11/2008, -6/+24The neo-cons want justification for bombing Iran. They've lied before about reasons for going to war. Pretty safe bet they will lie again if it suits their aims. Meanwhile, notice that you never hear a negative word about anything a Saudi has done. You'll never hear about Saudi foreign fighters in Iraq. You'll never hear about Saudis financing Al Qaeda. You'll never hear about the ties between wealthy Saudis and all the money they have put into the Bush family. To find out more about the latter, you'll have to read something like the book American Dynasty (about the Bush crime family) by Kevin Phillips. Look it up on Amazon.
  • ExplosivesWTC, on 05/12/2008, -10/+25I highly recommend anyone who has not fully researched the events that happened on the day of 9/11/2001 to do so. Films like Loose Change and 9/11 Mysteries expose how the World Trade Center was brought down by the use of explosives and show why 9/11 was an inside job thus making the whole 'war on terror' a sham.

    Jesse Ventura is bang on. Research these claims at http://www.ae911truth.org

    Nearly 400 Architects and Engineers have put their names on the line to expose this at the site Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth which I linked to above.
    • Herkimer56, on 05/12/2008, -18/+11Jessie Ventura is an idiot and ae911truth is a sham organization made up of truthers and government haters.
      • Cryptocracy, on 08/17/2008, -4/+14herkimer56 is a liar, bush fascist regime shill and a bury brigade troll who defends the criminals who have hijacked our country.
        • jcm267, on 05/13/2008, -6/+5Please post one instance of Herkimer56 lying, evidence that links Herkimer56 to the Bush regime or at which at least proves that he voluntarily shills for them, and an instance of Herimer56 defending criminals.
        • ssn697, on 05/13/2008, -5/+4That must be why I dig every one of his comments up, and bury yours. Yeah, that's it....
        • GhostyBoy, on 05/13/2008, -5/+2Yeah but to be fair, herk didn't really offer any proof of his claims.

          But hey, what the hell? As long as we are throwing around baseless claims I wanna join in too! SSN is one of the Knights Templar! Illuminati I tells ya!
    • macweirdo42, on 05/12/2008, -5/+8Why explosives? Wouldn't it be safer just to use planes? It's a pretty piss-poor conspiracy, if you ask me, if they could orchestrate this whole thing and not foresee that a bunch of conspiracy theorist wackos would be able to figure it out.
      • GhostyBoy, on 05/13/2008, -4/+3Laughed out loud at mac weirdos comment.
    • doctorfungi, on 05/12/2008, -6/+7You know what, I'm going t go along with you and encourage people to view Loose Change and 9/11 Mysteries. However, I am also going to encourage them to read the accompanying debunkings of both these films:

      http://www.loosechangeguide.com
      http://www.911mysteriesguide.com

      The films are utter crap. That doesn't mean you shouldn't watch them and decide for yourself, but just be aware that counter-arguments exist and that they are far more convincing that these conspiracy theories.
  • LadyKofNYC, on 05/12/2008, -6/+24Didn't this very same thing happen before? Twice, if I'm not mistaken?
  • mikehosek, on 05/12/2008, -5/+17Come on people, wake up. Remember Saddam's purported WMD's? The Mullahs in Iran are lucky enough to be holding on to their power. Even they are not dumb enough to want problems with the U.S.
    Don't let the Neocons sucker us into another war.
  • demonic, on 05/12/2008, -2/+9Maybe they found out that the weapons were their own... couldn't have that reported.
  • borez, on 05/12/2008, -2/+7Even if it had been true it would've been a ***** story. As far as I'm concerned, even if Iran did supply the weapons, they didn't pull any triggers and it should be no factor in invading a country.

    Does the Pentagon assume that we're all ***** stupid or something ( I already know the answer to this )

  • khail250, on 05/12/2008, -1/+4I am so happy I am moving to London next month. sorry guys, good luck America
  • mentallyinhell, on 05/12/2008, -1/+6We supply the guns, not Iran. But the MSM doesn't have the balls to say so.
  • suzywang3000, on 05/12/2008, -7/+1I can't frigging stand Iranians.
