Bush, we’ve heard this all before!

Posted on April 3rd, 2007 by vicezilla

WASHINGTON, April 3 (Reuters) - The United States has growing evidence of Tehran’s involvement in destabilizing Iraq, with more sophisticated Iranian weapons being found, a senior State Department official said on Tuesday.
Jim Jeffrey, principal deputy assistant secretary of State for Near East Affairs, said Iranian interference in Iraq had intensified in recent months. Tehran denies this.

“It’s growing, it’s quite frightening. We are getting much more accurate indirect fire and we see this as both Iranian munitions and possibly Iranian training,” Jeffrey said in an interview with Reuters.

He said over the last couple of months many more recently manufactured Iranian rockets and other “modern munitions” had found their way into Iraq. He did not provide figures.

“It is various caliber mortars and rockets and better, what we call, fire control,” said Jeffrey, whose main dossier is Iran at the State Department.

This rhetoric coming from Washington sounds eerily familiar. Whether or not Iran is involved in these allegations, the truth is the world is not going to be so easily fooled by Bush’s “evidence” again.

It was Bush after all who so eloquently stated, “”There’s an old saying in Tennessee , I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee, that says, fool me once, shame on , shame on you. Fool me , you can’t get fooled again.”
