The drumbeats for the forthcoming Iran attack continue. The Administration's propaganda machine must be putting in long hours coming up with these stories and their dubious conclusions:
U.S. general: Iran-linked rocket used in attack
Weapon in fatal strike was type allegedly provided to Shiite extremists
BAGHDAD - A fatal attack launched two days ago against the sprawling headquarters base of the American military in Iraq was carried out with a 240 mm rocket — a type of weapon provided to Shiite extremists by Iran, a U.S. general said Thursday.

(Major General) Bergner said Shiite groups "have received" such weapons "from Iranian sources in the past" and "used them against coalition forces." A 240 mm rocket was fired against a U.S. base south of the capital in mid-August.
"The Iranian... rocket is the only 240-millimeter rocket found or fired in Iraq to date, and Jaish al-Mahdi is the only group known to fire that rocket," Bergner said, referring to the Mahdi Army by its Arabic name.
