Iraq: No Evidence Iran Is Arming Shiites

Top Official Says Reports That Militants Received Weapons From Tehran Are Not "Conclusive"

(AP)  A top Iraqi official said Sunday there was no "conclusive" evidence that Shiite extremists have been directly supplied with some Iranian arms as alleged by the United States.

Government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said Iraq does not want trouble with any country, "especially Iran."

Al-Dabbagh was commenting on talks this week in Tehran between an Iraqi delegation and Iranian authorities aimed at halting suspected Iranian aid to some Shiite militias.

Asked about reports that some rockets made in 2007 or 2008 and seized in raids against militias were directly supplied by Iran, al-Dabbagh replied: "There is no conclusive evidence."

Al-Dabbagh said Iraq wants friendly ties with Iran and stressed both countries share common interests.

"We can't ignore or deny we are neighbors. We do not want to be pushed in a struggle with any country, especially Iran," he told a news conference.

"We are fed up with past tensions that we have paid a costly price for because some parties have pushed Iraq (in the past) to take an aggressive attitude to Iran."

As in the lead up to the Illegal Invasion and Occupation in Iraq, facts will be ignored by the Corporate/Government Owned MSM, and cases will be made without any evidence whatsoever, for the Illegal Invasion and Occupation of Iran.
They won''t be satisfied till we are at War with the rest of the World, so justification for a "Fanal Solution" can be made.
Haliburton Death Camps will run ovens night and day burning the bodies.

[j-whitman]

JoeCoolSwat,,,, Making fun at our troops isn''t too awful patriotic is it ??? These are National Guardsmen & have lost members of their unit in some pretty fierce engagements.

All of their video''s still have go make it past the CENCOM PR people.

[joecoolswat]

Where is the video from the Canadian and Salavadorian national guardsman being left on the side of the road ? (just kidding). where is the click

[j-whitman]

JoeCoolSwat,,,, In that video, the only thing that is supplied to those troops flming it are the cameras, & laptops to send it.

[joecoolswat]

I am watching it, but PBS ? that is left-wing to the max...I''ll need a shower after this. Where exactly is the video on this page ?

[j-whitman]

JoeCoolSwat,,,, You are trying to plant roses where flowers won''t grow dude ---- It is the Wild Wild West for contractors, there is massive fraud & that''s treason in my book this GOP choses to ignore.

[joecoolswat]

j-whitman...There is something very common which is "beyond resonable repair". Often, the cost to repair the equipment is almost as much as the cost of new, therefore replaced rather than repaired. Burned rather than getting into enemy hands. Or do you believe it is all done to line the pockets ?
