From the headline and beginning of this story it appears that General Peter Pace, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is in open mutiny against civilian authority:
U.S. general: No evidence Iran is arming IraqisWow. But what did Pace really say?Pace contradicts claims by other U.S. military, administration officials
JAKARTA, Indonesia - A top U.S. general said Tuesday there was no evidence the Iranian government was supplying Iraqi insurgents with highly lethal roadside bombs, apparently contradicting claims by other U.S. military and administration officials.
“That does not translate that the Iranian government per se, for sure, is directly involved in doing this,†Pace told reporters in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta. “What it does say is that things made in Iran are being used in Iraq to kill coalition soldiers.â€The AP editorialist (masquerading as a reporter) goes on to say:
His remarks might raise questions on the credibility of the claims of high-level Iranian involvement, especially following the faulty U.S. intelligence that was used to justify the invasion of Iraq in 2003.Perhaps the AP hack is referring to this sort of faulty intelligence?

w3: I read Rusty's post. .50 cal's are definitely bad news, and the story helps undermine what the AP is reporting here.

WMD were not the main reason for overthrowing saddam, and Bin Loser had a cooperation pact with Saddam--as you know full well.
Where is bin loser? What does that have to do with iraq? Acording to you he doesn't have anything to do with iraq.
Nice attempt at misdirection. The AP writer would be proud. Anybody with a shred of decency would be disgusted, of course.
