Three little paragraphs
In the NY Times make it clear that despite all the fustian and bombast of the administration about the really bad things that Iran is doing in Iraq, nobody had any solid knowledge of what is going on.
The United States has gathered its most detailed evidence so far of Iranian involvement in training and arming fighters in Iraq, officials say, but significant uncertainties remain about the extent of that involvement and the threat it poses to American and Iraqi forces.This may make it easier for Cheney and his bloodthirsty crew to get some hot military action going, but it won't make the resulting disaster any easier to take. By then Dickwahd will probably have had his final heart attack, the anticipation of which is probably driving his current actions. We can only hope it comes sooner rather than later.
Some intelligence and administration officials said Iran seemed to have carefully calibrated its involvement in Iraq over the last year, in contrast to what President Bush and other American officials have publicly portrayed as an intensified Iranian role.
It remains difficult to draw firm conclusions about the ebb and flow of Iranian arms into Iraq, and the Bush administration has not produced its most recent evidence.
