Reply #22: Ummm... did you actually read my earlier posts?

I'm not denying anything of the sort (in fact I've added links to one of them to clearly show that the incident we are currently arguing over happened in Basra). I'm in total agreement with you that so-called British "intelligence" got their asses into a sling in mid-Sept in Basra.

However, using that incontrovertible fact as a "well they're doing that in Basra, maybe they could be in Iran as well" reasoning; rather than balancing that against the possibility that a country with a very well-established and highly-renowned ability to sow the seeds of misinformation for its own ends (Iran in this case, not the UK or US :evilgrin:) could actually be using the fact that there are numb-nuts in the west just waiting to see smoke from a fire that isn't there as an opportunity to sow even further dissent abroad and fuel fires of hatred at home.

And I like facts, LOVE em actually - (has actually been my whole point all along). And the fact that British intelligence got caught being ass-holes of the year in Basra does not make conjectural statements by you or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad fact - and yes it does mean that you add rumour to this debate rather than fact.
