The Shi’ites who are fighting our guys are nationalists, down with the Sunni Arab nationalists (to some degree) and opposed to Iran. Well Michael R. Gordon of the New York Times keeps pushing — while providing no evidence — the Vice-President’s propaganda line that the new, improved EFP bombs must be coming from Iran. For those who listen to...
