Well, I respect the man for not jumping to any conclusions based upon nothing but coincidence.
“That does not translate that the Iranian government per se, for sure, is directly involved in doing this,” Pace told reporters in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta. “What it does say is that things made in Iran are being used in Iraq to kill coalition soldiers.”
Thank you. Finally an American official says it.

that means that crap is coming from Iran... don't jump to conclusions. It would be saying that Timothy McVeay was given a bomb supplied by the U.S. Government.... obviously not true...

General Pace seems able to handle himself in a fight, General Pace also serves a Term in the job, which ends on 30 September 2009.

Yes, he needs to be cautious indeed. As we have seen in the past, the Neo-conservatives are not averse to ruining anyone's life for their own ends.

Yes, it is, but my Post on the topic was first, as I checked all Forums before I posted.
Sorry folks, a mate sent this to me. Sounds like someone is not talking to someone else???? May not be bombs but insurgents are still being supplied by Iran.

I'd say General Pace is kept in the loop, and being the highest ranking person in Uniform in the United States Military, I think it is a safe bet that General Pace has good intel on events, and a good all around picture of events, and one would think the General can get in touch with anyone in the Government he wants.

So you believe what Gen Pace says about the Iranian connection but you disbelieve Gen Gates when he talks about the damage the EFPs produce. Given the highlighted portion of your post I am mystified.

No I believe both of them. Gates says that the EFPs which cause damage were produced in Iran, and Pace says that doesnt mean its the Iranian goverment. The things to they say are not opposite, they make perfect sense together.

I'd also like to point out that Secretary of Defense Gates is not a General, nor was Secretary of Defense Gates ever a General, as Secretary of Defense Gates was never in the United States Military.
General Pace strikes me as a person who can become very colorful, he also strikes me as someone who does want input from the guys in the mix.
The thing you have to remember though is NCOs below the rank of E8 may not speak their minds to the highest ranking person in Uniform in the United States Military very often, as E-5's, E-6's. and E-7's want to become E-6's, E-7's, and E-8's respectivly..... E-8's would also like to become E-9's of course, but there are not a whole lot of E-9's running around.
Personally, I doubt very many Corporals in the United States Military would give an unvarnished personal opinion in regards to the military operation which may run counter to the view of the Command Staff.
