ROFLMAO just as I posted the below I came across...

"Asked to give proof that Tehran knew about the bomb shipments, the
spokesman replied: "Let me put it this way: There's not a whole lot of
freelancing in the Iranian government, especially when it comes to
something like that."

"To counter that position, you would have to assume that people were
able of putting together sophisticated weaponry, moving it across a border
into a theater of war and doing so unbeknownst and unbidden," he said.

Snow declined to offer more details, referring reporters to the Pentagon,
and when asked whether the US military had provided him details of the case
against Iran he replied: "I didn't get briefed on it.""


ROFLMFAO.


So Tony.....

(A) You're deeply knowledgeable about the Iranian gov & seemingly
"know" it is a highly disciplined "governing machine"
which...well...."Let me put it this way: There's not a whole lot of
freelancing in the Iranian government, especially when it comes to
something like that".......

Right.....As opposed to say Ollie North & co in the US? Heck they were
shifting TOW & HAWK missiles directly out of US Mil armories.

(B) ""To counter that position, you would have to assume that
people were able of putting together sophisticated weaponry, moving it
across a border into a theater of war and doing so unbeknownst and
unbidden," he said."

It's not F*cking sophisticated. that's it's f*cking strength
you.....challenged person of dubious parentage.

Gee some "formable"/plastic explosive. A steel tube with one end
blocked (or indeed a strong cooking pan). A copper cone squidged into the
PE at the unblocked end.

How "sophisticated" is that?

& then finally....

(C) Snow declined to offer more details, referring reporters to the
Pentagon, and when asked whether the US military had provided him details
of the case against Iran he replied: "I didn't get briefed on
it."

So (A) & (B) are simple conjecture & FUD.....my Lord as per Peter
Pace the US mil must be so embarrassed at times.
