An anonymous U.S. official, assigned to provide a recent “background” briefing to the news media in Baghdad, strayed from his script and overstated evidence linking Iranian leaders to weapons found in Iraq, according to four U.S. intelligence officials familiar with the matter.
At some point during the Baghdad presentation, however, one of the briefers apparently went beyond the text of the slide show. The briefer claimed that senior Iranian government officials had authorized the Quds Force to supply insurgents with weapons designed to kill Americans. If true, it would be powerful evidence that high-level elements of the Iranian regime were directly involved in the targeting of U.S. soldiers—arguably an act of war.
Apparently that claim, which Bush himself has been using for over a week, is on pretty shaky ground.
Another official who has monitored relevant intelligence reporting said allegations that top Iranian leaders approved alleged Quds Force activity in Iraq is at best circumstantial. "There is no evidence Quds has authorization to kill Americans ... or that the ayatollah knows what an EFP is," the official said.
This just serves as another indication of how desperate the Bush administration is in trying to start some shit with Iran. They constantly say they are not trying to build a case for war, but every bit of evidence points to just the opposite.
I am beyond certain that Bush wants to have a conflict raging with Iran before he leaves office.
Why?
Because in his fundamental belief system a war with Iran may help to usher in the Rapture. I know that sounds nuts, but the evidence is getting harder to ignore.
