Credibility Nil

I said last week that I would probably interrupt my blogging holiday for the much-anticipated U.S. military's disclosure of what, exactly, all their supposed evidence that Iran is running IEDs and other weapons to both Sunnis and Shiites amounted to.

Well, it has, just not in the way I expected.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A plan by the Bush administration to release detailed and possibly damning specific evidence linking the Iranian government to efforts to destabilize Iraq have been put on hold, U.S. officials told FOX News.

Officials had said a "dossier" against Iran compiled by the U.S. likely would be made public at a press conference this week in Baghdad, and that the evidence would contain specifics including shipping documents, serial numbers, maps and other evidence which officials say would irrefutably link Iran to weapons shipments to Iraq.

Now, U.S. military officials say the decision to go public with the findings has been put on hold for several reasons, including concerns over the reaction from Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — as well as inevitable follow-up questions that would be raised over what the U.S. should do about it.

Yeah, riiiiiiiight!

If the White House was worried about Ahmannutjob's reaction, they shouldn't have been pointing fingers and telling tall tales without first showing their evidence.

Not that it matters to the uber-right. Iranian involvement in arming both sides of the Iraqi divide and winding them up to attack each other is now part of the accepted uber-right "truth", evidence or no. They are even happy to accept that Iran was behind the recent Kerbala kidnap, on the basis that the murderers were...blonde and spoke perfect American English! No other evidence is required. No other explanations will be accepted.

I mean, c'mon guys. I know you folks on the far right are unhinged from reality but doesn't it even tweak your radar that a nation which has, according to you, pulled of the intelligence coup of the last thousand years under the very noses of your beloved Bush and 130,000 American troops, taking over Iraq at every level....that such a nation would then make such an elementary blunder as forgetting to file the serial numbers off weapons if it was sending them to Iraq?

It doesn't? Really?
