| US intercepts Iranian weapons for Taliban |
| 2007-04-19 |
| US forces recently intercepted Iranian-made weapons intended for Taliban fighters in Afghanistan, the Pentagon’s top general said on Tuesday, suggesting wider Iranian war involvement in the region. It appeared to be the first publicly disclosed instance of Iranian arms having entered Afghanistan, although it was not immediately clear whether the weapons came directly from Iran or through a third party. Marine Corps Gen Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that unlike in Iraq, where US officials say they are certain that arms are being supplied to insurgents by Iran’s Quds Force, the Iranian link in Afghanistan is murky. “It is not as clear in Afghanistan which Iranian entity is responsible, but we have intercepted Iran-made weapons in Afghanistan headed for Taliban ,” Pace told a group of reporters. |

| #7 Mushrooms over Manhattan? It's beginning to look like it, USN, Ret.. For all his shortcomings, at least McCain is openly voicing the need for Iran's destruction. The American electorate has been given little or no information by which it can understand the magnitude of threat that Iranian hegemony in the Middle East would represent. Neither the media — nor even more disturbingly, the White House — are informing the general public about this. Let me put it this way, if a single American city must take a nuclear hit, our politicians have literally begged for it to be Washinton DC. Were it not for the loss of so much national heritage, I'd be cheering such an idea. What better way to simultaneously galvanize America and berid ourselves of one of the most worthless collection of self-serving political tools in our entire history. I still hold trust in our military to ensure that proper reprisal would happen. From our politicians, I expect nothing. |

| #4 You should not bomb, because they will defeat themselves if given a chance. The only way for Ahmadinejad and friends to win another elections is war. |

| #1 Iran effectively declared the start of a Cold War against America in 1979 through support of jihadist intermediaries. This is only the latest proof of their designs. |
