    How are you REALLY getting your information?

    re: virtue001:

    ABC News (hardly a bastion of Conservatism) reports:

    U.S. officials

    AKA "a gang of proven liars,"

    say they have found smoking-gun evidence...According to a senior defense official...

    Ooh, so certain, he has to remain anonymous!

    "There is no way this could be done without (Iranian) government approval," says a senior official.

    None of that pesky evidence, but they helpfully provide the conclusion.

    Evidence is mounting...

    I'll bet it is. But you and I aren't allowed to see it. We'll just have to trust them, just like last time.

    Yep, that "American Military Complex" is at it again.

    We agree!
