The discovery of a weapons cache in western Afghanistan has raised concerns that Iran is interfering in the war-torn country, much like it did in Iraq, by supplying weapons used to attack and kill U.S. and coalition troops, U.S. officials tell FOX News.

We are asleep at the wheel heading for a bar ditch.
The decision makers of this country are just pathetic.
The govt and Pentagon are a bunch of PC clowns.
6 months ago Obama said to judge his foreign policy by the results.
And Zero looks the other way while all this is going on...
My grandson is at risk for this???
Cacada!
Bump! Should have seen this one coming....
And i don’t think he has been back to Iraq or Afghanistan since he was elected......I guess Gibbs feels there is no need.
HIS BACKERS/BOSSES HAVE TO DECIDE ON IRAN STRATEGERY.
Until then, no win in Afghan.
IMHO if the source of an enemies weaponry is not attacked and destroyed then the war cannot be won. We’ve been there and done that enough.
...well this might be news to the media and liberal elites....

The Iranian government announced years ago that it was aiding the Taliban in Afghanistan.
BTTT
We’re not asleep at the wheel. We’re ruled by favored constituents (free-traitor corporates, who don’t want freight fuel prices to rise) and their family members in government and academia. Our Nation is quickly becoming a fascist oligarchy with favored constituents serving other fascist oligarchies (e.g., China).
The fun hasn’t even started, yet. That will happen, after more of us understand the scope of economic cleansing that is beginning.

Iranian Explosives Found in Afghanistan
By John J. Kruzel
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10, 2009 – Iranian-made explosives and rockets were among a cache of weapons uncovered in Afghanistan last month, a Pentagon spokesman said today.
The stockpile, which Afghan National Security Forces seized Aug. 29 in the western city of Herat, consisted of Iranian rockets, improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, and other bomb-making materials, Bryan Whitman told Pentagon reporters today. Afghan forces also arrested two people affiliated with the weapons, he said.
“Iran continues to play a destabilizing role in the region,” Whitman said.
The discovery of the IEDs — the biggest single cause of American casualties in Afghanistan — and other weapons marks the first discovery of such Iranian-manufactured weapons in the country in about two years, Whitman said. Troops last uncovered Iranian explosives in Farah province in October 2007.
Whitman acknowledged the difficulty in determining when the weapons arrived and said the most recent discovery does not constitute a trend.
