Important Stuff

Arguably the most important bit of information I stumbled on this week was a May 7th operational update out of Bagdad from Maj. Gen Bergner. It seems that one more bit of evidence that Iran is supporting militants in Iraq is fading away. Any mention of Iraq appears to have been suspended and a plan to show journalist some Iranian supplied explosives last week was canceled after realizing none of them were from Iran.
Just to be clear I'm not somebody who frequents the Multi National Force web site. The fact that I want to make that clear probably helps to explain why this kind of information is all but forgotten most of the time.
This stuff is as dry as it gets and most people it seems are tired of hearing it. In fact if it was not for a blog from Tina Susman, who works for the L.A. Times in Bagdad, no one in this country would likely of heard it. That scares me.
This administration has spent the last year trying to convince us that we may need to invade Iran in part because of their meddling in Iraq. Back in December the U.S Intelligence Estimate dampened the administrations claims that Iran has a nuclear weaponization program. So what will they come up with next. I can't believe this is my Government.
