Here we go again.... we're being told there is "proof" that Iran is supplying deadly armor-piercing explosives that are targeting Iraqi and U.S. troops.... "Military Ties Iran To Arms In Iraq."

In a briefing in Iraq on Sunday, nameless explosive experts gave a presentation to the news media without allowing them "to record, photograph or videotape the briefing or the materials on display." (WaPo)

Few doubt that a fate-based Decider would like to build a case against Iran. Can we believe this latest sermon? The Decider's truth-telling on Iraq:

Lied about WMD.
Lied during State of the Union speech re: Niger uranium.
Lied about Saddam/bin Laden connection.
Manipulated intelligence to justify invasion
Falsely claimed finding bio-lab trucks.
Lied about nation-building.
Lied to Americans about the real cost of Iraq war.
Lined Halliburton's pockets in Afghanistan and Iraq with fat no-bid contracts.

So now in an unrecorded briefing held in media-remote Iraq by nameless "experts" we are being asked to believe.... does it really matter what we're being asked to believe. The Bush administration doesn't have the big "C" anymore. Credibility.

The flock no longer has blind faith in the Bush/Cheney gospels.
