BSD: "Lets have a name of this official and lets see what he is talking about. Otherwise this is just useless "political pressure" and "propaganda".

ARTICLE: "The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the technology had come from Hezbollah in Lebanon via Iran and produced an "explosively shaped projectile"

Why do you need a specific Brit officials' name to assign responsibility to Iran for facts that are indisputable? This is not propaganda, or political pressure. These are brave British soldiers being ripped apart by Iranian bombs. It would be irresponsible not to call attention to these facts.

DETAILS: The latest upsurge followed the arrest by British troops of three prominent al Sadr deputies at the weekend. The men were seized as part of a crackdown on the traffic in weapons and sophisticated bombs across the Shatt al Arab waterway which separates Iraq from Iran. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard has been supplying the Mehdi fighters with shaped charges, devices that channel the blast of a bomb to penetrate armoured vehicles and infra-red triggering systems which cannot be blocked by electronic jammers.

I think you misunderstood what I meant here and I will try again. OK?
(this is just a idea)
Tony blair today came out today in public at a news conferance to say that this group of fellas ( insert names of people here and their standing as known in hezb allah here) from this country of origin ( insert countries and cities or provinces here) sent this "technology" ( specify the technology here) From Iran to ( insert place here) to ( instert place here) to (insert place here) and this "explosively shaped charge" ( a bit better description would be helpful) was used to attack ( insert place and result here.)

This is what I am asking for. FACTS. Facts from sources that need to be shown and rhetoric be left aside. this is where the propaganda thing comes in from me WORD GAMES.

You see what I ask for is CLEAR ATTENTION to the FACTS and the people that present them. I cannot understand how it is you find that a bad thing.

I agree there are people in harms way "being torn apart by Iranian bombs" which is why I ask for what I do.
Last I checked al sadr is Iraqi not Iranian.


(((The Iranian Revolutionary Guard has been supplying the Mehdi fighters with shaped charges, devices that channel the blast of a bomb to penetrate armoured vehicles and infra-red triggering systems which cannot be blocked by electronic jammers.))))

I would offer to you that is the same as saying "The US Military has been torturing people at ABU GRAIB" (propaganda)

What I am saying to you is this, I do not disagree that Iran is doing this. I am saying that there is TALK propaganda IN QUOTES and political pressure IN QUOTES...this is meant to say well....here is an example that may convey my meaning...........

You and I are in a fight, a conflict, and Joe over there throws you a batton and you hit me with it, repeatedly. Would I tell my people that you are hitting me with a technology from a foreign source, or from mississippi? NO I wouldnt...I would tell my people (using my NAME) that JOE gave you that batton, I would show how when and where joe gave you that batton, and I would issue JOE an ultimatum about the supply of said batton. With names named and violations named my people would understand and BACK that ultimatum.


IF the who what where and when was REALLY known then WHY NOT out it and put IRAN on the spot in front of the world?
Why would you oppose such a thing? Oh and one more thing...if its truth why remain anonymous? That just doesnt make sense to me.
