The Democrats and the press are claiming that President Bush is trying to hype a war with Iran by claiming that Iranian manufactured shaped charge roadside bombs are aimed at American and Iraqi forces.
Their view is that it is just as likely that they are aimed at opposing militias.
This position displays a profound ignorance of what a shaped charge is, and what it's intended target is.
So far as I know, no militia force yet has armor. Shaped charges are anti-armor devices that direct all of the energy of the blast in one direction. Shaped charges are very effective against armor and almost compeletely ineffective against personnel.
Only an ignorant or intentionally deceptive politician or MSM reporter would try to claim that the target of Iranian shaped charge roadside bombs is not American forces. I guess that makes Senator Chris Dodd either ignorant or intentionally deceptive. But we knew that.
