I think it is time to bring back that Oldie but goodie...
"Bomb Iran" sung to the tune of "Barbara Ann"

Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran.
Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran.

Oh Bomb Iran! Make glass in the sand!
Bomb Iran!
Got us rockin' and a rollin', Mahmud's runnin' and a reelin' Bomb Iran bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran...

Proving once again that "pourous borders" are a deadly threat to all; even those with their heads in the sand.

We've made the fatal mistake of limiting our scope of what this war requires (to wit, subjugation of Syria and Iran) for the sake of protecting the public from confronting a politically incorrect military draft.

Quite the shame, really. How can we leave Iraq? Iran will shred them.

["Sophisticated technology and explosives to make improvised bombs killing U.S. and other troops in Iraq are apparently entering the country virtually unhindered from Iran..........."]

So what else is new. The Iranian government has a long history of doing this...e.g, they used to send weapons etc. to the muslims and Mujhadeen fighters in Bosnia (over 10 years ago).

This is what happens when you let terrorists and aggressor nations have "privileged sanctuaries" in which they can acquire the technology and weapons they need to carry out deadly attacks against US and Allied forces. I'm not advocating a Mike Savage style bombing campaign that might only have the effect of alienating the Iranian people, and drawing them closer to the mullahs; I think we need a full spectrum approach, which involves making no empty threats (like we clearly have with Syria), gathering intelligence, asking our allies to support us (not hard: the Brits, for one, have fingered Iran), rallying the American people (which may involve releasing some of the intelligence information you've already gathered), getting Congressional support (when required), and conducting very focused, covert operations to "bomb the bomb makers, and those who pull their strings. Also, if we are not already doing so, we should be lending (cautiously and carefully) full support to pro-democracy forces inside Iran.

Given that we are talking about the Iranians (and presumably the Syrians as well), there is a real possibility (but by no means a probability) that they will not get the message, and will come back at us with a massive escalation of violence and political stunts (e.g. cutting off oil to nations which don't support them, sophisticated terror attacks against US interests), but if that happens, the mullahs will have kissed goodbye to their nuclear ambitions (the destruction of which we should leave to the Israelis), and will write their own epitaphs.
