Pepe Escobar in his yet to be released book, Red Zone Blues that I reviewed here said this of Iran and the EFP’s:
“Iran of course can be very persuasive, holding up some tasty cards up its sleeve- such as hard-earned intelligence directly implicating the Saudis in training the Sunni Arab muqawama (resistance) in Iraq on explosive form penetrators (EFP’S), which the Pentagon foolishly insists come from Iran. Everyone in Iraq knows it is operatives from “axis of fear” allies Saudi Arabia and Egypt-and also Pakistan-who have provided the Sunni Arab guerillas in Iraq with technology and training on improvised explosive devices and EFP’s.” pg. 79.
So who is telling the truth? Ask yourself whom you believe, Escobar who has spent years in Iraq un-embedded and in the mix of the Iraqi people, or George W. Bush who gave us the WMD’s that brought us to war with Iraq in the first place?
