Faith-based News for Extra-TerrestrialsAMERICAN REGISTERED CARS USED IN INSURGENT ATTACKS
They claim they are stolen, but why ship a car halfway around the world when you can steal one right in Iraq? SIDNEY MORNING HERALD:
The FBI's counterterrorism unit has launched a broad investigation of US-based theft rings after discovering some vehicles used in deadly car bombings in Iraq, including attacks that killed US troops and Iraqi civilians, were probably stolen in the United States, according to senior US Government officials......The inquiry began after coalition troops raided a Falluja bomb factory last November and found a Texas-registered four-wheel-drive being prepared for a bombing mission... [*]
The only reason to ship a car that far is if you are making some big bucks on it... Not blowing it up. WRH makes another point:
This is pure spin to cover the fact that US-registered cars are being used for the "insurgent" bombs. Having shipped cars myself by cargo vessel I can assure you that there is a huge paperwork process to go through in which you must prove you are the legal owner of the vehicle before they will allow it on board.So what we have here is that a US vehicle was found being rigged for a bombing attack, and in response to the question of WHY a US vehicle is involved in an insurgent attack, we get, "Ummm, ahh, it was stolen. Yeah, that's it, the car was stolen. Sure sure. Yeah. Stolen." [*]
Back in February I noted that the US long term strategic interest was now with the insurgents and not the new pro-Iranian Iraqi government [*]. Reports sometimes surface of US involvement in bombings but they are always written off because the witnesses are Iraqis [*].
I won't say who is doing what but there is an argument known as Occam's razor (after its author William of Occam who says whatever explanation explains the same facts with the least complexity is the one to be preferred) [*]. I'll leave it to you to figure it out.

Let's see: a "Texas Registered SUV" . What Texas based company has a cost plus contract in Iraq? Replacing SUVs which "accidently" disappear is obviously a cost, so why sweat the small stuff? If I could sell my truck for a few grand cash, knowing I could get a new one tomorrow, might I be tempted?

Here's the only way I could see it happen: Cargo ships unloading drugs at night in Galveston, paid for with stolen cars from Texas, cars sent back up the pipeline end up being sent to growers in Afghanistan who trade them to fellow terrorists in Iraq. Seems a bit far fetched.

Some people have emailed me and asked why the US couldn't steal cars in Iraq if they were to be used as car bombs, as well.
I've thought of this problem, and I believe the answer is that American
cars are newer, larger and more reliable than anything available to be
stolen in Iraq. The US is shipping tremendous amounts of material to Iraq
everyday so it wouldn't be a problem to add some stolen cars.
The insurgents however, would not have the means to export the cars from
the US, nor would they have the incentive to spend the big bucks on
purchasing stolen cars when they can steal them for free in Iraq.
Some US stolen cars DO end up in Mexico so it is possible, as Poiuyt mentioned,
that cars could go back up the drug pipeline to Afghanistan and get into
Islamicist hands there.
But then... why not blow them up in Afghanistan?

Interesting. the Mehlis Report into the assasination of Lebanese Prime Minister Hariri reported that the van carrying the bomb had been stolen in Japan some months previously. No-one has followed up to investigate how it got from Japan to Beirut ...

US cars are shipped to Iraq.
Yes, some stolen cars are shipped to Iraq via Dubai and Jeddah by Arab used car dealers in Florida. Some cars may end up in Iraq used by suicide bombers, but the car is the cash when resold in Iraq by insurgents, no cash crosses the borders.

P.M. Hariri killed by suicide bomber, van stolen in Japan.
The van stolen in Japan by pro's was shipped to Dubai (many stolen cars "rebirthed" in Dubai) and purchased on the "Black Market" by terrorists, this is a common practice in the Middle East.
There is no possible way to trace the VIN to the end user of such "rebirthed vehicles" a dead end.

US cars end up in Iraq ?
The US cars that end up in Iraq are all not all stolen, many Arab used car dealers in Florida have been shipping cars to Dubai and on into Iraq for resale, high profits (late model vehicles bring 2 or 3 times US retail price) and a huge market with cash on hand.

Please people. A little more lateral thinking will connect it together for you. Add to this the 2 british sas guys busted out of iraqi jail (with a tank!) for dressing like arabs and carting about guns & explosives.
