I guess that little outreach program we have with Iran is not working "ABC News is reporting that Iran has been caught 'red-handed' shipping weapons into Afghanistan. NATO officials say that they caught Iran red-handed shipping heavy arms, C4 explosives, and advanced roadside bombs to the Taliban for use against NATO forces in what the officials say is a dramatic escalation of Iran's proxy war against it United States and Great Britain. 'It is inconceivable that it is anyone other than the Iranian government that's doing this,' said former White House counterterrorism official Richard Clarke, an ABC News consultant." Well, if Richard Clarke said it, then it's got to be true! "Secretary of Defense Robert Gates stopped short earlier this week of blaming Iran..." Of course he did, because we're trying to make buds with them. We're trying to make nice with them. He says the US "didn't have evidence of the involvement of the Iranian government in support of the Taliban, but an analysis by a senior coalition official concludes that there is clear evidence of Iran's involvement."
So those feel-good overtures -- hmm, must not have worked. This is an act of war, and they're doing the same thing in Iraq and telling us what they're going to do. Once again earlier this week Ahmadinejad came out and said the time is running out on Israel, that the "clock is ticking," that their days are numbered. And everybody who hears him say this just says, "Ah, he's just some little crackpot over there. Don't worry about it, sure. Okay. Fine.
