MUNICH, Germany -- Serial numbers and other markings on bombs suggest that Iranians are linked to deadly explosives used by Iraqi militants, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Friday in some of the administration's first public assertions on evidence the military has collected. link

Is it a surprise that when Iran's neighbors on either side are invaded and occupied by a country that has historically interfered in its affairs, even overthrowing its government, that Iran seeks to make mischief and misery for it? Did the Bush administration figure that Iran would just sit idly by and make nice?

I don't see why we should believe this. Remember curveball? These people really really want to go to war with Iran. I expect to hear about an American plane being shot down by Iranians or an Iranian attack on one of our ships in the Persian Gulf any day. Get ready for the Gulf of Persia resolution.

Well, I'm not saying the administration has much credibility left here, given the revelations in recent days about Mr. Feith. But if it is true, why should it come as a surprise?

thats not true, although I can't offer specific stats on it, and any stats found on that would be very questionable.

The US is getting hit from both sides in Iraq. The Sunnis are the former government/al qaeda types, the Shiites are the Sadr types. Theres a lot more Shiites then Sunnis.
