Iraq finds explosives cache on Iran border supplied by IRGC with the full consent of the Iranian govt.
Baghdad, Nov. 25 – Iraqi police uncovered a military centre with a large cache of explosives near the Iranian border, a government spokesman announced on Friday.
Saleh Al-Shamiri, the police chief in Azizya, 80 kilometres southeast of Baghdad, announced on Friday that more than 300 mortars and explosives used in roadside bombs were discovered in the military centre.
Al-Shamiri said that the explosives had been recently brought to the centre.
Roadside bombs are the number one killer of Coalition troops in Iraq. U.S. and British military and intelligence officials have told journalists that large shipments of high explosives have been smuggled into north-eastern and southern Iraq from Iran. These "shaped charges" are especially lethal because they are designed to concentrate and direct a more powerful blast into a small area.
American and British Intelligence officials believe the high-explosives have been shipped into Iraq by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards with the full consent of the Iranian government.

What a surprise.
The US Congress or the Democrats in the US Congress? Which?
Regarding Taheri's statement about Ahmadinejad, "Clearly, he is nobody’s pawn."
Ahmadinejad is doing what Khamenei is allowing him do. He will be reigned in whenever Khamenei sees fit to do so.

A moron who uses a smidgen of humility to validate his own sanctimony.
...And then uses the sanctimony to aid Latin American communists, and Persian fascists. He is not only the worst president ever, he qualifies as one of the worst world leaders ever.
