#1 that "which Iranian faction sent them" crap is gonna get real old, real quick. Same shit as the Paleo "political vs military wings". Collective guilt, collective consequences

#2 It is not as clear in Afghanistan which Iranian entity is responsible but we have intercepted weapons in Afghanistan headed for the Taliban that were made in Iran, said Gen Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. We do not know with the same clarity we know in Iraq who is delivering those weapons, who is involved, he told reporters in Washington.

Do I care? Turn the friggin place into a glass rink and I betcha the problem will stop. Cause->Effect. Of course we won't be loved if we do it, but we're not loved now anyway. Big deal. However, afterwards when we do speak, most everyone else will pay attention.
