#1 seems like one well-placed 1000 lb. bomb should do the trick.

#3 How come this stuff never makes the major news outlets? Is the pro Iran agenda by the media?

#4 I don't think the major news outlets are pro-Iran, I think they are just anti-war at all costs. They don't want the US to recognize that there exist true causus beli with the mullahs that would justify a war today.

#5 1. You cant move around freely in Iran, so they have no direct coverage, no video, etc.
2. Iran isnt headline news anyway
3. The Admin isnt exactly playing this up - whether cause they want more solid info, or are waiting for Iraq to settle down, or till after the election, I dont know, but it doesnt matter, if the admin isnt making a big deal of this the MSM will assume its not credible.

#7 Hmmm...long-running and intense rivalry between Sunni Arab Saudi Arabia and Shia Persian Iran. And what? A Saudi-owned newspaper "scoops" the story of hundreds of al-Qaeda hiding out in Iran.

Somehow it just doesn't add up to "credible."
