"Wonder how long we're going to tolerate this ?"

I'm afraid for a long time. At least until Bush is out of office. He no longer has any political capital to open another front in the war. Congress would de-fund it quickly screaming about another "illegal war".

The Iranians will not be blamed for the American deaths in Iraq, even though the IED's were made in Iran. As I said before, Bush will be blamed for "making the Iranians" supply bombs to the "freedom fighters".

This is the same type of thing that happened in Vietnam, the enemy used the borders of other countries to hide from the war. We lost that war because we used a political scope, to fight it. If we do not cut off weapon, supply and manpower lines in this war, we will lose. It is that simple. If we know that Iraq is supplying weapons, and we do not bomb their factories, we admit that we are weak. We know what weakness in the face of Islam gets you.

Bush doesn't need Congress to bomb the hell out of Iran.

U.S. intelligence officials say Iran is using the bombs as a way to drive up U.S. casualties in Iraq but without provoking a direct confrontation.

There's no reason to have a direct confrontation. Simply utilize stealth aircraft to deliver bombs with markings clearly indicating a North Korean origin, and then let the party begin...

Then why are we winning so spectacularly now, despite those problems?

Bush needs to go on national prime time TV. Make his case about Iran and give them an ultimatum.

Luckily, I doubt President Bush will sit by and wait for us to be blown to smithereens because he's worried about people criticizing him.

I don't think it is on his agenda. We need to provide some pressure, I think.

This is breaking on ABC?

Many of the Troops in Iraq now have known this sort of for a good while.

I guess the MSM can't contain their "scoop" for much longer than they have already done.

Well, supposedly these were from pre-1990, when everybody and his brother (with the almost unique exception of the US) supplied weapons to Iraq.

I think some of these were in fact post-1990, but its a difficult thing to prove. That was a violation of UN resolutions.

This is worse. These are arms supplied to active enemies of both the US and of a legitimate Iraqi government, an act of war against both.

Like to send those IEDs back to Iran, one at a time.

...crammed up the keisters of the brave warriors of Islam who so love to blow up innocent women and children.

Good afternoon.

That was all you needed to say, and you didn't have to shout.

I'm pretty sure the French weapons that were found were made AFTER our decision to go into Iraq. One of the first pilots to be shot down was shot down with a French missile, and that is the one I'm referring too. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.
