Iranian Weapons in Iraq

The administration has been asserting for, oh, about 4 years that the Iranians have been supplying Iraqi insurgents. By the way, why do we call terrorists 'insurgents'? Anyway, the Wall Street Journal reported this morning:
The U.S. military says it has found caches of newly made Iranian weapons in Iraq, leading senior officials to conclude Tehran is continuing to funnel armaments into Iraq despite its pledges to the contrary.
Officials in Washington and Baghdad said the purported Iranian mortars, rockets and explosives had date stamps indicating they were manufactured in the past two months. The U.S. plans to publicize the weapons caches in coming days. A pair of senior commanders said a presentation was tentatively planned for Monday.
You don't say! How can this be? I thought Bush lied about everything? Remember? Bush lied, people died; no blood for oil; all that stuff? If this turns out to be true, the Iranians had better be looking pretty closely at Israel, because they will have a free pass at a preemptive shot at whatever they want.
Iran will be on the world stage now, they had better hope there is no evidence.
"You can see the manufacturing dates right on the armaments themselves," one senior commander in Baghdad said. "These are very clearly weapons that were made in the last month or so."
Uh oh. Well, I am sure the Democrat-friendly media will keep this information to themselves. It's not like there will be a news conference or something.
Rear Adm. Gregory Smith, the top American military spokesman in Baghdad, said U.S. officials were "working on a briefing that we hope to be able to deliver in the next week or so."
Heh. Um, we were just kidding guys. I mean, the weapons were stolen; yeah, thats the ticket. We wouldn't break a promise. Right?
