"U.S. Alarmed as Some Exports Veer Off Course"
"Roadside bombings of American troops in Iraq were occurring with unnerving regularity when military investigators made a disturbing discovery: American-made computer circuits sold to a trading company in the United Arab Emirates had turned up in the bomb detonators.
But, but, but... BUSH TOLD ME IRAN was responsible for all the troubles in Iraq!!!!
That finding set off a clash with Washington last year when the Bush administration cited the diversion of the computer circuits to Iran, and eventually Iraq, as proof that the United Arab Emirates were failing to prevent American technology from slipping into the wrong hands....
Excuse me, WHERE DID THAT STUFF COME FROM again?!?!
The diplomatic face-off, which drew little public attention, prompted the United States to threaten tough new controls on exports to the United Arab Emirates, an ally....
And WHY WOULD THAT BE, shit MSM?
Relations with the United Arab Emirates have long been delicate for the United States. Dubai, for example, is the host for more Navy ships than any port outside the United States and is an important listening post for American intelligence personnel....
But the country, which is made up of the emirates Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Al Fujayrah, Umm al Qaywayn and Ras al Khaymah, has deep economic and cultural ties with Iran, which is only about 70 miles across the Persian Gulf from Dubai. As many as 400,000 Iranians live in the emirates, many of them traders who track down goods in the sprawling consumer bazaar of Dubai and then re-export them to Iran....
In 2005, the discovery of a American-made computer circuit in an unexploded roadside bomb in Iraq transformed what had been a polite diplomatic exchange into a nasty dispute.
By reading a serial number on the chip and studying shipping records, American investigators determined that it had moved from the manufacturer, AMD of Sunnyvale, Calif., to Mayrow General Trading in Dubai. It went to Iran, then turned up in Iraq in “limited numbers” of roadside bombs, a federal official involved in the inquiry said.
They ORIGINATED WHERE?
No known deaths have been linked to the bombs, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Yeah, NOT OUR FRIENDLY-FIRE ROADSIDE BOMBS anyway!!
If those killed anybody they MUST HAVE BEEN IRANIAN BOMBS -- with AMERICAN PARTS!
This has to be more front-page propaganda from the NY Times, readers, to build thew WAR CASE against IRAN!!
Even if it CAN'T BE the Iranians!!!
"If Iran were arming insurgents, the insurgents would have two weapons that would neutralize the US advantage in the Iraqi conflict: missiles to knock down US helicopter gunships and rocket-propelled grenades that knock out American tanks. The insurgents do not have these weapons."
Methinks Israel bombs them soon, readers!
WAKE UP to the SHIT-STINKING FRAUD of this OCCUPATION and WARFARE STATE, Americans!
WAKE UP!!!!!!
Officials at the Commerce and Defense Departments would not discuss how they had connected Mayrow to the unexploded bomb. But Michael D. Turner, who until last year was director of the Commerce Department’s enforcement office, said investigators uncovered evidence definitively connecting the two....
Well, LET'S SEE IT!
After all, AMERICAN PARTS are going into ROADSIDE BOMBS HERE!
American officials had no authority to act against Mayrow, a foreign company, and the Commerce Department had not required AMD to get an export license restricting resale of the chip because it was not considered particularly powerful.
But they can lat sanctions on Iran in the blink of an eye?
Something smells EL-STINKO, readers!
But American officials were angry that their United Arab Emirates counterparts had not immediately moved to close Mayrow....
Pfffffft!
Oh, they were angry, were they?
The Commerce Department, however, declined requests by The New York Times and Congressional investigators in recent months to publicly release any updated figures on how frequently inspections by American authorities turned up problems....
Executives at several of the companies suspected of violating American export controls, said they had faced no increased scrutiny in Dubai...."
Yeah, keep those roadside bombs coming FROM AMERICA, right?!
And with all the chaos, we just HAVE TO STAY, right?
