That's an "ABC photo" from Iraq, not Iran. The only technical info provided is that by analysis of welds the conclusion was that the item came from the same bomb factory. But where's the Iranian link ? It's merely an assertion by US military. For comparison, check out the 11th photo on this British publication: images.google.com It's an identical IED; in fact some details on magnification indicate it's exactly the same one. Also notice clothes of bearer and black watch on left hand. The British analysis was that the devices, although effective on light armour, were haphazardly made - not something off an assembly line. So old photos from before 2006 are dredged up and repackaged and respun to suit political needs of the day. Your bluff has been called - time to get out of Dodge. So spare me the drivel and show me the beef ? Whatcha got ? You got nutin ! wg

Nadine, Nadine, Nadine what a simpleton you are. You get pissed off when some one calls the US big Satan and Israel little Satan. Hmmm, tell us when people consider Israel a terrorist state and the US supply it with weapons, does that mean that the US is a terrorist state too and should be dealt with accordantly? And what do you say about the US supplying weapons to the Iraqis? What do you say about Americans being killed by "made in USA" weapons? But for a war whore like you it means nothing.

What is really the embarrasing bit is the fact that our most advanced military vehicles are vulnerable to a cheap land mine. Shaped charges are not going to go away if iran is bombed. They are cheap and effective against expensive machinery. It is that weakness in our equipment that must be adressed.
