<snip>
A second American aircraft carrier steamed into the Persian Gulf on Tuesday as the Pentagon ordered military commanders to develop new options for attacking Iran. CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports that the planning is being driven by what one officer called the "increasingly hostile role" Iran is playing in Iraq - smuggling weapons into Iraq for use against American troops.

Excuse me, but isn't this EXACTLY what we did with Afghanistan? Not only did we supply them with weapons to use against Soviet troops, we gave them training, money, etc. I guess it's just a damned good thing that none of the Soviet premiers was as fucking irrational as our own Dear Leader (and I use that term most sarcastically).
