The World Is Flat!
This should bring a smile to Tom Friedman's face. Robert Farley has uncovered a most interesting story of Iranians outsourcing the production of advanced IEDs (EFPs) to Iraq - after which the Iraqis, undoubtedly, ship the finished EFPs to Iran, which then brings them back to Iraq to distribute to various and sundry militant groups.
Lieutenant-Colonel Scott Bleichwehl said troops, facing scattered resistance, discovered a factory that produced “explosively formed penetrators” (EFPs), a particularly deadly type of explosive that can destroy a main battle tank and several weapons caches.
I can think of no other explanation but the manufacturing-export-import schemata described above since the Bush administration and military sources have assured us that Iran is the only plausible source for EFPs in Iraq. As we know, neither the Bush administration, nor any military in a time of war really, has any history or pattern of subterfuge and mendacity.
Only unhinged liberals would doubt the obvious veracity.
