One US officer’s description of 1,129 mortar shells seized in a raid next to “Route Tampa” south of Baghdad. As the accompanying news story notes, these are the primary ingredient of IEDs — their relatively poor condition clearly indicating that they are not something that just rolled off the Syranhamasbollah assembly line, but were simply part of the piles of stuff left lying around after the invasion in 2003. A weapons supermarket with no guards. Thanks Rummy.
That sort of blows out the main Buscheney charge against Iran. But we pretty much knew they were lying, anyway.
Over the line, Smokey!
