There's a problem with the latest claim that the US military has evidence that Iranians at the highest levels are sending weaponry to Iraq for use against American soldiers. The problem is Peter Pace, General Peter Pace, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Peter Pace.
From the McClatchy news service:
"Asked about the briefing during a visit Monday to Canberra, Australia, Pace said he couldn't substantiate the assertion that the clerical regime in Tehran is shipping such devices to Shiite militias in Iraq.
"'We know that the explosively formed projectiles are manufactured in Iran. What I would not say is that the Iranian government per se knows about this,' Pace replied. 'It is clear that Iranians are involved and it is clear that materials from Iran are involved. But I would not say based on what I know that the Iranian government clearly knows or is complicit.'
"Neither the White House nor the Pentagon responded to requests for an explanation of the apparent contradiction between the nation's highest-ranking military officer and his subordinates in Baghdad.
Careful Pete. Remember you can be replaced. Never forget that Cheney likes his Chairman of the Joint Chiefs to be a complete stooge like that sycophant Meyers.
