DOUG
Not preposterous at all...


From here.

CNN's Ed Henry asked the president of the United States a question that struck us as pretty reasonable: With contradictory claims now being made about Iranian involvement in Iraq, "What assurances can you give the American people that the intelligence this time will be accurate?"

...the president answered...

"Ed, we know [that Iranian-supplied weapons are] there, we know they're provided by the Quds force. We know the Quds force is a part of the Iranian government. I don't think we know who picked up the phone and said to the Quds force, 'Go do this,' but we know it's a vital part of the Iranian government.

"What matters is, is that we're responding. The idea that somehow we're manufacturing the idea that the Iranians are providing IEDs is preposterous."

It's as preposterous as the administration manufacturing evidence of WMDs in Iraq - oh wait, they did that.

What's really preposterous is the idea of Shiite Iranians supplying weapons to Sunni Iraqis (as W stated in his state of the union address). That's like saying the KKK provided weapons to black africans during the South Africa apartheid years. No, if anybody is supplying weapons to the Sunnis (besides us), it would be the Saudis. (You know, the same folks - Saudi nationals, not necessarily with governmental backing - who flew the planes into the Towers on 9/11.)
