Last week marked the welcome end to one of the establishment medias most unfortunate oversights concerning Iraq: the role played by Iran in fueling the insurgency. Mainstream outlets such as the NBC Nightly News and The New York Times have finally begun to highlight this unsettling development, embodied recently by the U.S. militarys interdiction of a truck full of explosive shaped charges being smuggled in from Iran. These charges which use military grade plastic explosives to propel molded steel plates through even the heaviest armored vehicles are intended for one use and one use only, to kill American soldiers. The sophisticated weapons present a formidable tactical challenge, as they effectively negate the armored advantage our soldiers have enjoyed over local insurgents, making the fevered rush to up-armor Humvees and similar vehicles virtually irrelevant.
Perhaps more disquieting than the direct danger now facing American troops from shaped charges is the broader implication of the trucks capture that Iran is now actively seeking to kill American soldiers...

The MSM covering Iranian involvement in Iraq is meant to bash Bush not the Mullahs

Sounds like an act of war to me. Tell them to stop or we invade. Line up ten divisions on the border and then see if they stop.

"If Iran is indeed actively participating in the deaths of American soldiers, as seems to be the case, it is a clear act of war. It should be treated as such." It would be nice if we had some help from other nations in this war on terror.

It would be nice if we had 10 divisions.

That link explains the reason the 14 soldiers were able to be killed. These shaped bombs are a new and definite escalation in this WOT -- from Iran.
The importance of the discovery of this truck of shaped exposives from Iran
and the article's explanation of the recent success in knocking out 14 of our troops in one vehicle -- shaped bombs
brings into focus our next big challenge in Iraq: Iran.
We better come up with a new and aggressive strategy and do it FAST!
It is not good to die, picked off inside travelling armored vehicles like that.
It's far better to die going after the enemy and killing them.

Over at DU they are convinced President Bush is getting ready to attack Iran. This must have been what they were talking about. It's a little hard to follow their conversations sometime.

Watch, IRAN will claim "WE sold obsolete stuff, in good faith". "We didn't expect it to be EXPORTED for USE"!!!
When THEY make that claim, Our Military should offer to sell "Daisy Cutters" to the VFW.
