All Iran, All The Time

A revealing slip-up over at NRO from Michael Rubin, who is now keeping readers "informed" on developments in Iran with his daily "Iran News Round-Up." In this post, Rubin links to an Islamic Republic News Agency piece he describes this way: "Iraq says it will expel MKO terrorists to Iran." Interesting if true, right? One problem: the report to which Rubin links says nothing of the sort. Indeed, anyone with the slightest bit of knowledge about the MKO also knows such a possibility is remote, to say the least.

Rubin follows up that post with this one a few minutes later:
Mea Culpa on Iran Round-Up

Oops. I’m getting up too early in the morning. The Iraqi government is saying it will expel MKO terrorists, but not necessarily to Iran. Sorry about that…
Deep breaths, Michael. And consider setting your alarm clock for a bit later in the morning.

I am sure it was intentional. He backed off the statement when he received emails calling out his lie. What clown at the NRO isn't itching for war against Iran?
