And we're back to "it's all Iran's fault"

(AP) Military spokesman Bergner says a 240mm rocket attack on Camp Victory points straight to Iran.

(HeraldSun) Petraeus says "The evidence is very, very clear" that Iran was behind the Karbala killings.

(If they're as presented, both of these do indicate Hezbullah.)

But, the winner has to be Michael Ledeen who writes in a new book that Iran is actually behind Al Qaeda all the way back into the 1990's.

He says the 1998 bombings of the United States Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania “were in large part Iranian operations,” which would come as news to the 9/11 Commission, which attributed them solely to Al Qaeda. He says Shiite Iran was largely behind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a man famous for his genocidal hatred of Shiites. He claims that “most” Iraqi insurgents are “under Iranian guidance and/or control,” not just Shiite warlords like Moktada al-Sadr, but Sunni militants as well — the very people who say they are fighting to prevent Iranian domination.

In Ledeen’s view, in fact, Sunni-Shiite conflict — the very thing that most observers think is tearing Iraq apart — is largely a mirage, because Iran controls both sides. And Al Qaeda is a mirage too, a mere front for the regime in Tehran. “When you hear ‘Al Qaeda,’ ” Ledeen writes, “it’s probably wise to think ‘Iran.’ ” Not surprisingly, he thinks the mullahs were probably behind 9/11.

The really frightening thing is that this administration listens to Ledeen.
