Can someone tell me why the mortar rounds and explosives

found in Iraq and blamed on Iran have English writing all over them? Is that because Iran bought our ordinance from third parties? Is it so that we can read them in America? Anyone want to take a shot at this one?

2. or the munitions that are being found were sold to Iraq and were

in the Iraq munitions depot's that the * cabal left unguarded thus leading to militants pillaging the munitions and using against our soldiars.

3. Mortar and rpgs are not IEDs.

The latest round of bullshit is pretending that a cache of weapons belonging to a shiite militia are somehow proof of something other than the fact that they are a militia and militias tend to have military grade weapons like mortars and rockets. Is Iran helping the shiite militias? I would think that they are. There is a civil war in Iraq and the militias need weapons in order to defend their communities from attacks from the militias of the other side. Iran is not going to do nothing while their shiite brethren are slaughtered.

4. So the BFEE will use this to invade Iran?

It just seems too bizarre to see Iran getting busted with American weapons. Well, after 7 years of bullshit - not so hard to believe.

5. The pictures I've seen have numbers on them, not "English writing"

do you have a link to something with words?

Kind of explains how now. Dam shopping for huge weapons at a market!?! I need to read more.
