Blair Implicates Iran in Iraqi Bomb Attacks on British Troops

LONDON, Oct. 6 - Prime Minister Tony Blair said today that Britain believed Iran had supplied insurgents in southern Iraq with technology used in lethal bombing attacks on British troops there. But, qualifying the accusation, he said Britain was not "sure of this at the present time."

Mr. Blair was speaking after discussions in London with the Iraqi president, Jalal Talabani.

On Wednesday, a senior British official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, was quoted as linking Iranian involvement in the supply of technology used in roadside bombs to Iran's dispute with Britain and other Western countries over its nuclear program.

In recent months, eight British soldiers have died in an surge of attacks in southern Iraq. "What is clear is that there has been new explosive devices used, not just against British troops, but elsewhere in Iraq," Mr. Blair told reporters.

"The particular nature of these devices lead us either to Iranian elements or to Hezbollah, because they are similar to the devices used by Hezbollah, which is funded and supported by Iran," he said referring to the Lebanon-based militant group backed by Syria and Iran.

"However, we cannot be sure of this at the present time," Mr. Blair said.

Pay no attention to those Brits wearing Arab headdresses and clothing, driving cars laden with explosives in Basra, killing policemen, being arrested and having tanks crash into the jail to get them out! :crazy:

:grr:

Shared among the coalition of the winless

this magical feat?

Maybe Romania has a few extra monkeys that they would send :rofl:

Why do they keep talking up war with Iran, if they have no intention of actually fighting them?

:shrug:

that? Isn't that a sign of mental illness? I don't understand, I guess, why he so intent to piss everyone off, it's almost as if he doing it on purpose. The other part I can't understand, is why Blair goes along like a little lap dog.

:shrug:

the nazipoos spend money like drunken evangelists, and as they just win win when the taxmoney comes pouring in to pay for all the junk that's needed: supposedly, there will be few casualties as the af pretty well operates outta range of flak etc.....and as far as the rage of the iranians, the busheviks don't care....the future can take care of itself

It's a good thing! :sarcasm:

By your fucking lonesome.

It has to import everything. Even its foreign policy bears the mark 'Made In The USA'.

Why then wouldn't he just ask that Master Traitor (GoCheneyourself) how much Helliburton profited from illegally selling 'em WMDs?

:puke: POODLE TO THE HAGUE!!

but pretends he does, despite all evidence to the contrary. But I guess that offer to work at the Carlisle Group was mighty appealing and yet was more along the lines of a "conditional" offer to keep playing lines from the neo-con playbook. Disgusting.

douche bag

smuggle in some more jewelry.

Time to go, Tony. And take your crooked little Q.C. with you.

Arf, arf.
