In the latest attempt to link the deadliest form of roadside bombs in Iraq to components manufactured in Iran, U.S. Army officers on Monday displayed plastic explosives they said were made in Iran and recovered during a raid recently in violence-racked Diyala Province.

An Army explosives expert said the C-4 plastic explosives were used to make lethal bombs that the military calls explosively formed projectiles. The explosives were found alongside enough bomb-making materials to build 150 EFPs capable of penetrating heavily armored vehicles, according to the expert, Maj. Martin Weber.

The language in this article is infuriating. 'Latest attempt to link..'? How about 'Latest find linking...'?

@$$holes.

The only times the MSM doesn't use wording like that is when they're quoting traitors like Pelosi and her anti-American cohorts.

I guess since congress needs verification of the intelligence about the Iranian C-4, we should have them explode some in the Capital so the idiots will believe intelligence based upon facts!

No, it would have to happen at a gay pride event for them to care.

We support the troops even though we don't believe a word they say.

A uniformed Iranian soldier could hold a press conference in Baghdad while detonating an EFP he just made, but the MSM would blame Bush for starting it all.

You'd almost like to see the Iranians lob one into Munich or Paris just to show the media in this country that the administration is not cooking this up.

LOL! If Bush hadn't attacked Iraq, Iran would feel no need to attack our troops. Therefore, it's Bush's fault.

Plus Bush won't talk to Iran directly, therefore they must kill us = Bush's fault.
