Once again, after denouncing Iran for being behind smuggling of arms
into Iraq, the Pentagon has quietly backed off the charge and produced
no weapons made in Iran. On Wednesday a briefing by M. Gen. Kevin
Bergner about hundreds of weapons seized in Basra and Karbala didn't
even try to link any of them to Iran. The Pentagon's policy has been to
accuse Iran first, look for actual evidence second.

"A plan to show some alleged Iranian-supplied explosives to journalists
last week in Karbala and then destroy them was canceled after the United
States realized none of them was from Iran. A U.S. military spokesman
attributed the confusion to a misunderstanding that emerged after an
Iraqi Army general in Karbala erroneously re****ted the items were of
Iranian origin."
