excerpt from article:
There was something interesting missing from
Maj. Gen. Kevin Bergner's introductory remarks
to journalists at his regular news briefing in
Baghdad on Wednesday: the word "Iran," or
any form of it. It was especially striking as
Bergner, the U.S. military spokesman here,
announced the extraordinary list of weapons
and munitions that have been uncovered in
recent weeks since fighting erupted between
Iraqi and U.S. security forces and Shiite
militiamen.
Among other things, Bergner cited 20,000
"items of ammunition, explosives and weapons"
reported by Iraqi forces in the central city of
Karbala; an additional Karbala cache containing
570 explosive devices, nine mortars, four
anti-aircraft missiles, and 45 RPGs; and in the
southern city of Basra alone, 39 mortar tubes,
1,800 mortars and artillery rounds, 600 rockets,
and 387 roadside bombs. Read his remarks here:

Not once did Bergner point the finger at Iran for
any of these weapons and munitions, which is a
striking change from just a couple of weeks ago
when U.S. military officials here and at the
Pentagon were saying that caches found in Basra
in particular had revealed Iranian-made arms
manufactured as recently as this year. They say
the majority of rockets being fired at U.S. bases,
including Baghdad's Green Zone, are launched by
militiamen receiving training, arms and other aid
from Iran.
