Talk about HIDING and LYING about a war!

"'Lob bombs' called biggest worry for US forces; Senior general assesses threat of weapon in Iraq" by Robert Burns, Associated Press | July 12, 2008
CAMP LIBERTY, Iraq - US forces may be close to unlocking the mystery of who is behind a deadly innovation in Iraqi insurgents' weapons, a "lob bomb" now being used in Baghdad to target US and Iraqi combat outposts, a senior American general said yesterday.
Major General Jeffery Hammond, commander of US forces in Baghdad, called the weapon "the greatest threat right now that we face," and he likened the shadowy group behind it to the American military's elite Delta Force.
The weapon is particularly worrying because it is designed to cause catastrophic damage and cannot be stopped once it has been launched, Hammond, commander of the Fourth Infantry Division, said in an interview in his office at this US military headquarters compound just west of the capital.
US forces detained a man on Thursday who Hammond said could provide valuable insights into the group behind the bombmaking. "We think we have defined the network," he said. He would not elaborate, although other American officers said in interviews that the group is Shi'ite and may have links to Iran.
Sigh! I'm sick of the shit spew.
The 107 mm rockets that are used in the improvised bombs - which some call an airborne version of the roadside bombs that through the course of the war have been the leading killer of US troops - are manufactured in Iran, officials said. But some officers cautioned against assuming Iran is directly involved.
The weapons are launched from small trucks and are fired in multiples of four to nine rockets at a time. The detonation is sometimes triggered by a signal from a cellphone, other times by a washing machine timer.
How would they know all that?

A joint US-Iraqi military outpost that suffered an IRAM attack on April 28. The building was heavily damaged, and 15 US soldiers were wounded, none seriously enough to prevent their return to duty, said Lieutenant Colonel Steven Stover, a military spokesman. The weapon innovation has gained relatively little public attention because it has yet to kill in large numbers.
So when is the FALSE-FLAG OPERATION that is going to be blamed on Iran, huh?
