EFPs
Gulf Times, via Juan Cole:
Lieutenant-Colonel Scott Bleichwehl said troops, facing scattered resistance, discovered a factory that produced “explosively formed penetrators” (EFPs), a particularly deadly type of explosive that can destroy a main battle tank and several weapons caches.
What? The same EFPs that had to come from Iran, because they couldn’t possibly be manufactured in Iraq? I don’t mind so much anymore about the falsehoods; I just wish that they would respect my intelligence enough to tell plausible lies.
