in 2007, one faction of the Bush administration (Cheney-Petraeus-neocons) was working really hard to precipitate an all-out war between US and Iran. One of its main claims was that Iran was supplying rockets, RPGs and EFPs to Shia resistance in Iraq.
The so-called "intelligence" purporting to support the Cheney-Petraeus war on Iran was sketchy and never made public - only surreptitiously and confidentially to reporters, some of whom were very skeptical. At the time, the Bush administration was sensitive to widespread criticism of the Iraq war being based on false intelligence and Bush refused to authorize the war against Iran proposed by the Cheney-Petraeus faction.
The zombie has returned.
In the White House Statement purporting to itemize 47 years of death and desolation inflicted by Iran on the US, 992 deaths are listed. (Embellished in reporting to "thousands"). I noted previously that the White House Statement was plagiarized from an internet article by a former AIPAC employee now working for Israeli-backed lobby group FDD.
Of this 992 death total, 60%, a majority, derive from subsequent embellishment of the Cheney-Petraeus operation to blame Iran for deaths of US soldiers in Iraq from EFPs.
Whereas there was serious skepticism and criticism of the weakly supported claims of Cheney and Petraeus in 2007, there has thus far been zero public criticism of the claims as recycled by FDD and the White House.
I've been reading and collating the contemporary 2007 discussion and a zombie re-occurence in 2019 during the first Trump administration. It's quite disquieting.
