guess what? Weapons were NOT made in Iran

I know, it sounds like a joke, but it's deadly serious.

A plan to show some alleged Iranian-supplied explosives to journalists last week in Karbala and then destroy them was canceled after the United States realized none of them was from Iran. A U.S. military spokesman attributed the confusion to a misunderstanding that emerged after an Iraqi Army general in Karbala erroneously reported the items were of Iranian origin. When U.S. explosives experts went to investigate, they discovered they were not Iranian after all.

This less than a week after a devastating Time Magazine article called "Doubting the evidence against Iran" where it was revealed that no hard proof had ever been presented and the case was based on "speculation". What the US officials have been calling "evidence" all this time, was more along the lines of:

U.S. officials have revealed no captured shipments of such devices and offered no other proof.

Instead, the Americans argued their case publicly with deductive reasoning: the copper slugs used in EFPs had to be precisely tooled with a heavy press in order to work properly, they said; no such heavy presses were in operation in Iraq, according to the Americans, therefore the slugs had to have been machined in Iran and moved into Iraq.

And now it turns out, even that was BS!!!
Un effing believable.

OOpsi daisy!

Yes, it turns out it was just a "misunderstanding," an innocent "confusion" by them "Iraqi Generals" who obviously need more years of training.

Does that mean serious international threats toward Iran, including public  calls by Joe Lieberman and Crazy John Hagee for a preemptive war, "expert" advice by John Bolton on how we should bomb Iran nowwere based on "bad intelligence"?
