Does the administration actually expect anyone to believe the so-called intelligence that says Iran is supplying weapons to the Shiites in Iraq? Let’s not forget that the intelligence supporting the invasion of Iraq was either flawed, fabricated, or tailored to suit the president. Bush and his circle of neocon hawks had their heart set on invading Iraq. Who knows if they actually believed that Iraq could be transformed into a model democracy almost overnight. What’s clear is that the entire fiasco has made the Middle East more unstable than it’s ever been. In all likelihood, George Bush could not have done Iran a bigger favor than topple Saddam Hussein.
But is the Iranian government actually supplying the weapons claimed by the so-called intelligence? Apparently the intelligence materialized out of thin air, because so far no one in the administration is willing to attach their name to it.
Perhaps the Iranian government is involved. If it is, the administration has no one to blame but itself for the public and official distrust. We’ve already wasted thousands of lives and almost a half trillion dollars because of phony intelligence, and no one with half a brain wants to do it again.
