it wouldn't be surprising at all if the iranian government was indeed wholly complicit with all this. i'm really inclined to believe it, simply because discomforting america would certainly be in iran's national interest. they're trying to walk a fine line between discomforting america and enraging her to the point of invasion.
however, regarding the evidence presented thus far, why has it been so relatively weak, despite all the ground info we're getting? there's the problems which wabpilot has identified. also, of the recent helicopter shootdowns, apparently all but one of the shootdowns was via machine-gun fire, and machine-guns are something iraq is not really running low on, apparently.

the president is not so sure on that point...
“We know that. And we also know that the Quds Force is a part of the Iranian government. That’s a known. What we don’t know is whether or not head leaders of Iran ordered the Quds Force to do what they did.”
and neither is gen. pace.
“It is clear that materials from Iran are involved...But I would not say, based on what I know, that the Iranian government clearly knows or is complicit.”
