There is plenty of evidence of the weapons being used by insurgents as originating from Iran.

Cenk is missing the point here, its not that they ARE made in iran, its wether or not the iranian state is giving these weapons to the insurgents with an intent to be used in iraq on US troops.

Seen an interview with a EOD trooper in iraq (from the UK army) saying that they constantly find UXO RPG shells, 105mm mortars / arty shells, all with trademark iranian signatures from iranian weapons manufacturers.

no, you're missing the point. which is: US has occupied Iraq illegaly, has no business being there and should stop whining about Iran interfering in Iraq (even if it is true) cause that's just a shamelessly arrogant statement, coming from US army.

And / Or the defense industry. We've been making all sorts of man-murdering nastiness in our Connecticut factories for two hundred years.

if it were true about Iranian weapons, then where is the evidence. I'm not talking about anecdotal accounts from individual troops, I want to see photographs and physical evidence that reporters can actually see and touch. Up til now, there has been nothing like that. In fact, when the US Army tried to show off some "Iranian" weapons to reporters, they had to cancel it before it started because they were 'mistaken'.

There are also plenty of AK-47s. Doesn't mean that Russia is supplying the Iraqi insurgency.

Thats my point.
There are iranian arms inside iraq, the army shouldnt just blatantly use that as proof-positive that the iranian state are supporting terrorists.
