Bush and Gen. Petraeus says Iran supplied RPGs to Shiite militias in Iraq, especially the cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi army.
In reality, all RPGs came from (1) Syria, (2) Saddam’s old stockpiles and (3) the USA.
This is confirmed by the U.S. government's own reports.
As you will see below, many of the weapons come from Petraeus himself.
RPG-29
In October 2007 and again in late December, Petraeus stated emphatically there was "absolutely no question" that Iran provided RPG-29s to Iraqi Shiite militiamen. The RPG-29 is a sophisticated anti-tank weapon. Petraeus calls it an Iranian "signature weapon."
He failed to mention that RPG-29s are manufactured by Russia, not Iran, and those that have shown up in Iraq apparently came from Syria. The Syrian government bought large numbers of RPG-29s from Russia in 1999 and 2000, many of which ended up being used by Hezbollah to defend Lebanon in 2006, according to Israeli and Lebanese media reports. In May 2006, U.S. military officials quoted in the media said they believed RPG-29s had been smuggled into Iraq from Syria.
Moreover, "very few" RPG-29s have been found in Iraq, according to Air Force Col. Scott Maw of the Multi-National Force-Iraq Strategic Communications Office. Col. Maw spoke to me in a telephone interview last week.
How rare are these RPG-29s that Petraeus says are everywhere in Iraq? U.S. military press releases on weapons caches found in Shiite areas have never mentioned RPG-29s, and the U.S. military has never displayed a captured one to reporters.
RPG-7AT-1
In a highly publicized February 2007 slide show, U.S. military briefers included a picture of a projectile fired by an Iranian-made RPG-7AT-1 launcher, a less advanced weapon than the RPG-29. The picture did not show the launcher itself. Indeed the U.S. military has found no evidence of an Iranian pipeline of RPG-7s to Iraqi Shiite militants either.
In two-dozen Multi-National Force-Iraq news releases on Iraqi Shiite weapons since early 2007, more than 200 RPGs are listed. The USA carefully examined them all, and did not to identity a single one as Iranian-made.
Lt. Col. Steve Stover is the spokesman for the 4th Infantry Division deployed in and around Baghdad. He confirmed that explosives experts examine the findings at each cache site to determine the origin of the weapons. "Normally we say whether they are Iranian-manufactured or not," Stover told me in a telephone interview.
Air Force Col. Scott Maw said the number of RPGs found among the Iraqi resistance is rising rapidly -- now more than 400. They always existed, and Iraqi Security Forces are only now discovering them. "Very few are of recent manufacture," Col. Maw said, suggesting that they came from Saddam Hussein's old stockpiles.
The U.S. command is so eager to frame Iran that one Multi-National Force-Iraq press release from September 2007 singled out the discovery of four Iranian hand grenades in an area frequented by Sunni resistance fighters associated with al-Qaida. Al-Qaida considers both Iran and the Shiites as their archenemies. Why would Iran arm al-Qaida?
RPG-7
In the early stages of the war, with mass looting and mayhem, Bush officials downplayed the importance of weapons that disappeared. In October 2004, CNN quoted a senior Bush official as saying the weapons were "stuff you can buy anywhere."
Among the weapons the USA allowed to be looted from Saddam's stocks were thousands of RPG-7s, which soon turned up on Iraq's black market. Malcolm Nance, an Arabic-speaking 20-year veteran of military and civilian U.S. intelligence, recalls being offered more than 20 RPG-7 rocket launchers, plus dozens of RPG rounds in a single trip to a Sadr City arms bazaar in September 2003. Nance says Saddam's RPG-7s were also on sale in black markets at another location in Baghdad, plus at least seven other Iraqi cities.
Nance is now a counterterrorism consultant to Homeland Security and the Army's Special Operations Command. In a telephone interview, he said Saddam’s RPG-7s were "so ubiquitous" that they were selling for a mere $50 each for the launcher and $5 each for an RPG missile.
Sunni fighters got large numbers of Saddam's RPG-7 stocks, and frequently used them against the American invaders during the early stages of the resistance. The Shiite Mahdi army has also been able to purchase RPG-7s easily over the past four years.
USA PROVIDES RPGs, AND CLAIMS THEY COME FROM IRAN
In 2004, the Pentagon purchased 7,500 Soviet-made RPGs and distributed them to Iraqi Security Forces, plus hundreds of thousands of side arms, according to a September 2007 report by the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction.
U.S. authorities hired civilian contractors (including Iraqis) to distribute these weapons, with no system to account for them after they left U.S.-controlled warehouses in Iraq.
As the New York Times reported in November 2007 an Iraqi businessman contracted to distribute these weapons from one depot was widely known to be stealing them from the warehouse by the truckload.
Because of U.S. sloppiness, these arms fell to the Mahdi army. The USA now claims they come from Iran.
Only 499 of the 2,389 Soviet-made RPGs the USA provided to the new Iraqi security forces could be accounted for through serial numbers, according to a report by the Defense Department Inspector General's Office in November -- and that was because they were still in the warehouse.
No one knows how many of the other 1,900 RPGs entered the Iraqi arms market.
Inspector General Claude Kicklighter told the Senate Appropriations Committee in March that there is an ongoing investigation into "pilferage of storage facilities" for the arms in Baghdad.
EVERYTHING IS AUTOMATICALLY FROM IRAN
Air Force Col. Scott Maw said the Multi-National Force Iraq makes no effort to determine which, if any, of the Soviet-made RPGs came from the U.S.-financed weapons stocks. Maw said the munitions specialists responsible for assessing the weapons on site don’t know about the U.S.-financed RPGs from 2004, so they would have no way of distinguishing them from other Soviet-made RPGs.
The Mahdi army has had abundant opportunities to gain access to the U.S.-supplied weapons. In 2005 and 2006, its members infiltrated the Iraqi police, plus parts of the Iraqi military and government. They gained control of the police and several Iraqi army units in Sadr City. In Basra, the Mahdi army was part of a consortium of Shiite militias that used their control over a key police office to get access to various kinds of weapons.
MANY OF THE WEAPONS COME FROM PETRAEUS HIMSELF
Gen. David Petraeus -- the man in charge of training and equipping Iraqi forces -- is responsible for the decision to rush ahead with massive arms transfers to the Iraqi Security Forces in 2004 and 2005 -- despite the absence of a dependable tracking system and the wide reach of the Shiite militias.

Betrayus is a horse's ass and a little Zionist stooge. That guy could give two shyts about the Iraqis and their alleged "freedom," brought to you by Ziomerica. What a sham it's all been. I hope the American empire crumbles because then Jewry can't continue its war using Americans anymore.
What I find amusing is the Jewish 'backlash' (i.e., Soros and others) rising against the Neocon faction of Jews. When will the Gentiles assume control of the backlash for once? When will the Goyim finally rise to control the debate and assume the "sixth sense" of where things are headed? It's not that hard.
I would highly recommend that everyone buy the album "Framing Armageddon" by Iced Earth. It's basically about a faction of 10,000 true earthlings who are attempting to destroy mankind (mankind is presumed to be the alien force that came and took over earth in this context) via division. Religion and different forms of gov't are utilized by these 10,000 in order to divide and subvert mankind. It's rather pertinent: the whole "global fraternity" reference and all. Great music too. They sound a lot like Iron Maiden. I have to wonder if these guys (being educated Germans and all) aren't privy to the Jewish Problem.
I just thought of something rather significant; indeed, it came to me like a flash. If, as several of you say, Hitler and his gov't were "Zionist" or "Jewish," then why did Franco refuse to work with Hitler after Hitler helped him quell the Jewish-Communist menace there in Spain? It is very probable, though not confirmed, that Franco was Marrano, which would explain why he accepted Hitler's help (since Hitler wasn't Jewish) but refused to help Hitler in return. All Franco did was send his Blue Division into Germany to assist the Wehrmacht, but it was hardly noteworthy; especially since Germany won Spain's civil war for Franco. He would have lost without Hitler's help. Hitler desperately needed access to Gibraltar, but Franco refused to grant it to him. Hitler never forced the issue because it would have pushed Franco into the hands of the Allies.
As an aside, the massacre at Guernica was blamed on the Germans by the Jewish-led Commies, as were those crimes supposedly committed by Heydrich in Prague. Heydrich never mass murdered thousands in Prague. That was also committed by covert Commies working, likely, for Tito and Stalin (i.e., partisans). It might also be pertinent to note that Heinz Pannwitz (nee Paulson) was a Soviet agent who had infiltrated the Gestapo. He was allegedly the one who ordered the retaliatory massacres after Heydrich's assassination. Does anyone really believe that the Germans would have allowed a Soviet spy to be #2 in their Gestapo? I doubt it. Interesting that the one confirmed massacre traces to him and several others to Bormann (also a suspected agent by the name of "Werther").
Moving along, a couple of you said that anti-Semitism is good for the Jews, since it legitimizes their vicitm status and Zionist 'concerns'. True, true. But, had Hitler been one of these types of crude anti-Semites (i.e., neo-Nazi skinhead types) then why did Jewry lash out as they did after he assisted them with emigration and all? It makes more sense to me that since Hitler wasn't really the crude anti-Semite the media portrayed him to be, since he cooperated with Zionists and other Jewish groups, that THAT is what made Jewry really lash out against him. If Jewry thrives on Gentile-based anti-Semitism and hatred, then why in the Lord's good name would they ever tolerate a Gentile who offered to assist them? This may well be what made them target Hitler and Germany especially so. Let's recap.
Angle one: If Hitler was Zionist/Jewish and was really out to help found Israel, then why did the Jewish community worldwide destroy his regime and country? Why were fellow Zionists/Jews (Goering, Keitel, et al) brought to trial and hanged or tortured for false confessions and crimes? Jews do not do this to their fellow Zionists that I know of, they only do this to those they truly hate and wish to destroy. They NEVER did this to fellow Zionists in the former USSR or in the Balkan states. So, why Germany then if they, too, were Zionists?
This angle explains why Eichmann, being a half-Jew (but a full Jew by Jewish Halakic law) was brought to trial in Israel; because he really was Jewish. But, he was a good Jew who tried to help his people and be a good German at the same time. Jewry made sure to send any Jews willing to do such a thing ever again a real clear message via the Eichmann trial: he was tortured repeatedly, placed behind a glass cage like an animal at the zoo, put in a filmed show trial before his fellow Jews, and subsequently hanged after giving his false confessions before the Sanhedrin. Try and imagine what that Jew was willing to go through. He deserves to be praised and remembered as a hero against the crimnality of his own people, not some Zionist monster. Eichmann never ever committed any crimes or hurt anyone. Ever. He was just trying to help his gawd-damned people, which they CLEARLY did not deserve.
Angle Two: If Hitler was really Zionist/Jewish and offered to cooperate with Jewry, why in the hell did they lash out against him? Why did escaped Nazis run to South America instead of Israel or the USSR for protection? Surely they would have run into the hands of their own if they were really part of the Zionist network. Heinz Pannwitz did. He ran to the USSR in 1945 and lived out his whole life in Germany with a full pension. Wait...wasn't he a "Nazi" war criminal? No, he was a Soviet spy, likely of Jewish descent. That's why he got off easy.
Angle Three: Hitler was really a racially-tolerant Gentile and genuinely took an interest in helping Jews out, given the circumstances of the world's hatred for them; hence, he supported their emigration from Europe and cooperated with Zionist Jews and others. Thus, since Hitler wasn't a crude anti-Semite, which Jews supposedly need to get their way, he was attacked by them. His cooperation was not conducive to their needs as a "persecuted" group.
Think about all this and get back with me.
#ff0000">There’s a story that Heinz Pannwitz (nee Paulson) was a Soviet agent who had infiltrated the Gestapo. Pannwitz was allegedly the one who ordered the retaliatory massacres after Heydrich's assassination. Does anyone really believe that the Germans would have allowed a Soviet spy to be #2 in their Gestapo?
No of course not. Why would Pannwitz have ordered such retaliation after two of his fellow Jews had bumped off a top German, and “Operation Anthropoid” had been a success? I mean, the two assassins (Jan Kubiš and Jozef Gab?ík) were Jews, weren’t they? The Germans limited their retaliations to predominantly Jewish areas, didn’t they?
Hitler ordeed the retaliations personally. He wanted to send a clear message to all Jews in exile, and to all Allied governments: send in assassins, and this will be the consequence.
It worked. The Allies planned no more such operations to assassinate top Germans.
I’d like to know if the two assassins really killed themselves afterward, or did Jewish agents silence them before the Germans could catch them?
#ff0000">The Jewish-led Commies committed the massacre at Guernica, and blamed it on the Germans. Heydrich never mass murdered thousands in Prague. That was also committed by covert Commies working, likely, for Tito and Stalin (i.e., partisans).
I’m not clear on this. Which massacres in Prague? Do you mean Heydrich’s removal of a few black marketers and the shutting down of a few Jewish newspapers? (I refer to the Soviet-backed ÚVOD group.) Has that been exaggerated into a “massacre”? Heydrich didn’t need to resort to massacres. He was such an efficient Reichsprotektor (military governor) of Bohemia & Moravia that everything went smoothly under him. Industrial production increased in Czech lands. Sudeten Germans were happy to at last be free of control by Prague Jews, and many Czechs were too.
Heydrich was so efficient that when Hitler considered making him Reichsprotektor, the British panicked. France was comfortably sitting out the war -- with little or no “resistance” movement. Heydrich would have boosted French industrial output, as he did in the Czech lands. He would have increased food rations and pensions, and introduced unemployment insurance, as he had before. He would have removed corrupt French bureaucrats. All this would have seriously hurt the British / Jewish propaganda effort, so Heydrich had to be killed, and fast.
You asked, “If Hitler was a Jewish agent, then why…” I won’t address that, since I don’t believe Hitler was a Jewish agent.
#ff0000">It makes more sense to me that since Hitler wasn't really the crude anti-Semite the media portrayed him to be, since he cooperated with Zionists and other Jewish groups. THAT is what made Jewry really lash out against him.
I’m not sure I agree with you on the reasons why Jews declared war on Germany in 1933. It’s true that Hitler was inspiring because he told the truth, and did not act like a madman, but I think there were three simple reasons why the Jews declared war…
1. When Hitler came to power, he deprived Jews of one of their favorite playgrounds. Jews can never forgive this. They had always been treated well in Germany, and they ruled as gods in Weimar Germany. Likewise, Castro removed the favorite Caribbean playground of Jews (Meyer Lanksy et al) when he overthrew the corrupt Bautista regime in Cuba. As I said, Jews can never forgive this. Under their orders, the USA and Europe have maintained a total blockade against Cuba for half a century.
2. At first, some Jews supported Hitler in order to thwart Stalin, a Jew who had gone “rogue.” However, Hitler started talking about taking control of the national currency, thus cutting the international bankers out of the picture. This made Hitler a global threat to Jews, since most of the human race wants freedom from debt slavery.
3. Hitler inspired solidarity among the German Goyim, and Jews dread Goy solidarity. Germany was the last European nation to be united into a modern “state,” and even then, cultural divisions remained between Prussia, Bavaria, the Rhineland, and so on. Jews exploited and exacerbated these divisions, but Hitler overcame all that, and even united Germany with Austria, a major feat in itself. To Jews, this amount Goy solidarity was absolutely terrifying.
I copied and pasted here. I think the most significant aspects which serve to deconstruct the legitmacy of this position are the following two facts:
1. A Jewish psychoanalyst is responsible for this totally speculative thesis in the first place (i.e., Hitler was Jewish and founded Israel). His name, as indicated by Rhome, is Rhawn Joseph.
2. This thesis is based on the idea that Hitler deliberately destroyed his nation and people (wrong! that's like arguing that Hannibal wanted to see Carthage razed; no, he wanted to save it from Roman despotism and had a decent shot at success). This thesis therefore adheres to the Judeocentric historiography which accuses Hitler and the Nazis of not only provocation, but war crimes. Hitler neither provoked the Allied powers, nor were there ANY confirmed massacres or war crimes committed by the Germans. Not ONE alleged "crime" can or has been successfully verified (not even the so-called Mengele experiments), including the so-called butchery of Prague by Reinhard Heydrich. That is a total lie.
3. This thesis adheres to the entirely false notion that Hitler was not Christian, and that he targeted Christians for persecution. Wrong on both counts, entirely. Anyone who has not read Bolshevism from Moses to Lenin, Hitler: Memoirs of a Confidant, Hitler's Table Talk, or The Holy Reich: Nazi Conceptions of Christianity is totally ignorant of the truth.
I fail to see what is so incredibly "powerful" about this thesis, Nobo. It's cr*p so far as I can tell. It's just another Jewish ruse to direct you away from the truth. Ever notice how Jews, no matter which angle they come from, insist on pulling people away from studying Nazi Germany? Yeah, that's what I'm trying to understand here. What is the big deal if people study it? Won't they lose interest if Hitler's either a lousy Jew or Zionist? How come Jews don't bar people from studying the history of the IDF or the Soviet Union (both Jewish and full of crime)? Obviously, they aren't afraid whether people figure out that the IDF is a criminal Jewish garbage-piece or that Jews ran the USSR and killed everyone in sight. If they aren't anxious about hiding these crimes, then why would they hide the crimes of their 'boys' in Germany? It simply makes no sense.
EXPLORING THE OCCULT ORIGINS
OF CRUCIAL HOLOCAUST DOGMA
By Dr. Harrell Rhome

There are numerous outstanding articles and books that do an excellent job of debunking the so-called Holocaust, consequently I have not approached the topic before. Then I re-read
Holocaust Dogma Of Judaism (see postscript) and some other esoteric works, and saw that there is more to say, particularly from certain perspectives. I take a rather atypical analytical approach, making use of psychology, metaphysics, mysticism and magic, Talmudic traditions, Kabalistic gematria, literary deconstructionism and revisionist historiography. From this unique perspective, I shall lay bare, deconstruct and demystify the occult origin and purposes of this very special, and exactly precise number of 6,000,000 Holocaust deaths.Page 1
To say the least, there are a plethora of opinions on all sides of this contentious matter. We begin with Dr. Rhawn Joseph, a Jewish psychoanalyst and writer, who directs our attention to the number six (in Hebrew, the letter vav
w equals six) about which you shall soon know more. Worthy of note, Dr. Joseph maintains that Hitler and most of the National Socialist hierarchy were either Jewish or part Jewish. Adolf Hitler, Founder Of Israel (in German, Adolf Hitler, Begrunder Israels; see postscript), a somewhat obscure book by Hennecke Kardel, maintains the same thing. This exceptionally curious and controversial hypothesis is, of course, deserving of a separate article, and we cannot treat it here. Nonetheless, we can conjecture that if this were true, the so-called Holocaust might simply be seen as a curious intra-Judaic affair. Interesting idea, is it not?The Mind Of God And Adolf Hitler. http://brainmind.com/Hitler.html
“And just as the ancient Jews stripped the Egyptians of their worldly goods before setting off for the Promised Land, the German Jews who sought to immigrate were stripped of their worldly possessions. In the Bible we are told that 600,000 departed Egypt for the Promised Land. Hitler expelled 600,000 from Germany. Those who remained or failed to heed the six years of repeated warnings to leave Germany were finally herded into concentration camps where they were enslaved, starved and worked to death. … However, instead of killing 600,000 of the "chosen" who the Lord God killed or allowed to die of old age in the desert, Hitler would expel 600,000 and then kill 6,000,000.” …
But, perhaps even more importantly, Hitler initially had no interest in killing off or exterminating the Jewish population, and in fact, those who were first forced into the concentration camps were political enemies and priests and pastors. Indeed, although the modern Western Jewish media repeatedly attempts to blame Christians in general and Catholics in particular for not doing enough for the Jews, it was not the Jews, but Christians in general and Catholics in particular who were first marked for complete eradication by the Jewish Hitler and his Nazi party.”
Dr. Rhawn Joseph,
DECONSTRUCTING
SIX MILLION HOLO-MYTHS
In the early days of "Operation Desert Salughter, Part II", i can remember reading stories in the papers about how Saddam's armory and arms depots were being looted.
One depot alone had been looted for over 300 tons of weapons, including HE, or high explosive.
When some US official was asked about this, he just shrugged it off.
I imagine and hope most of that got to the Iraqi resistance, but i bet some got into the hands of "ass-kissing, little chicken-shits" like BETRAYUS and some into Israel's hands.
Both would use those weapons against American troops to frame up whichever country they wanted to next invade, either Syria or Iran.
BETRAYUS and his handlers will keep throwing shit on the walls and hope that sooner or later, some of it will stick.
Meanwhile, at MOSSAD HDQ's outside Tel Aviv, the activity level is approaching that of a beehive.
