The two soldiers they cite in that report as being killed by the Iranians died in an IED attack 5 weeks ago. Not exactly breaking news. Our side has been making these allegations for years now and then sort of retracting them.

Lately it seems Al Qaeda is everywhere in Iraq and even Gaza if you believe the media. Maybe today it's Iran's turn. Fact is 81% of Iraqis think killing coalition soldiers is justified. There's somewhere between 250,000 to 1,000,000 metric tonnes of munitions in caches all over Iraq. Guerilla war is Saddam's revenge, his WMD and Iraqis don't really need any help killing Americans or Brits. If the Iranians are it's probably just because they can.

Anyone see the Bond film "Tomorrow Never Dies"? The villian was a Murdoch-esque character who attempts to foment a war.

Didn't Hearst pull this trick? History may not repeat itself, but it hums similar tunes.
