The latest excuse for Iraq:

It was all Iran's fault, they tricked us into invading so that they could take control of Iraq afterwards... yeah, that's it...

Funny. I thought that Bush invaded Iraq because he wanted to, and because he thought Saddam was 'too dangerous' to leave in place. We've heard - many times - that the absence of WMDs doesn't change that. He was still 'too dangerous'.

So how can it suddenly all be Iran's fault?

If they did, it may not be the first time US intelligence was fooled by a Middle Eastern Nations spies.

In fact, if there is any truth to the current claim it adds credibility to the older one since large bureaucracies rarely learn by experience...

you should realise it was very convienent for US foriegn policy to be able to lay the blame for the bombing at the Libyans door, rather than say Iran based terrorists.
We want to attack nation X we fabricate some evidence. Off we go an drop bombs. Sound familair at all?

Absolutely, but it was even more convenient for Israel.
