"WASHINGTON (AP) — Iran is ratcheting up its support for militias in Iraq, providing them with newly manufactured weapons and bringing them across the border to receive training from members of Tehran's elite Republican Guard, U.S. military officials said Friday.Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the military is preparing to roll out evidence — such as date stamps on newly found weapons caches — that shows that recently made Iranian weapons are flowing into Iraq at a steadily increasing rate.Mullen would not detail the evidence — which is expected to be unveiled by military leaders in Iraq as early as next week. But another senior military official said it will include mortars, rockets, small arms, roadside bombs and armor-piercing explosives — known as explosively formed penetrators or EFPs — that troops have discovered in caches in recent months."http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gg4qLR7c7rPKhLqa-kxjsTP4XQigD9096DDO0

Thing is, no solid evidence has been provided for these claims in the past. And the claims themselves seem to support this pro-Iran invasion charge too well to be credible at this stage, given that the "chickenhawks" have been eyeing the other Irxx for some time now... due to their rumblings about trading oil for Euros, of course, as with Iraq.
Also who the heck uses "ratcheting up" in ordinary speech? That reads like something a PR office had thought up.

Right after they create it
>>6273Bet the timestamp evidence is based on an unconventional reading of a XX/YY/ZZ triplet.
Zomg wapons off maas destructionz! get them nao!11Seriously though, when US ATTACKS Iran, I'm predicting oil prices over 9000.

>>6275Attacks? You mean when they free the Iranian people ?

Hasn't stopped them before!
>>6276Just like they freed the Iraqi people from an existence defined by terror?
if by free you mean by freeing their souls through killing them
>>6281I think you meant "into" with "from", there.
>>6282>>6284Jesus you guys are either (1) thick-headed or (2) don't know how to properly keep a gag running. Obviously 6276 and 6281 are being sarcastic. No need for you to spell it out (6282) or to completely miss the boat (6284).
I thought that the militias was using the weapons that the US Forces gave them? You know, the ones that they couldn't track anymore?
>>6287Are you accusing America of funding terrorism? You, sir, are unpatriotic scum!
Hindsight is 20/20, isn't it?
Asia Times article debunking this shit about Iranian weapons. Glad to see American media is so incredibly on the ball that they kicked it out into never never land. http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/JE16Ak02.html

They had foresight enough to see what was happening with America's economy, and the way it's screwing itself right now, so they're trading with a more secure currency: €s.

US buys Saudi oil, House of Saud funds clerics who teach & enforce Wahhabiism in Saudi (and they indoctrinate Al-Qaeda, including You-Know-Who!). Hell of a paradox, eh?
