More on the Iraq-Iran "evidence"
OK, at the briefing where the "evidence" was presented against Iran, can someone tell me why Major General William Caldwell, the constant spokesman for US forces in Iraq, was granted anonymity as one of the "three senior US military officers" involved in the briefing? (E&P)

"We know that the explosively formed projectiles are manufactured in Iran. What I would not say is that the Iranian government, per se (specifically), knows about this," he said.

What I wanna know is why does the evidence have english writing and dates on it, as opposed to Farsi/Islamic writings/dates? How dumb do they think we are?

You know why Iran is only "suspected" as being a leader in supplying terrorists around the world? Because they don't stamp their hardware "Made in Iran."
