Are we starting the war with Iran next year? I'm sure we'll hear from McCain on this.

Afghans find tons of explosive devices transferred from Iran

Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Authorities in southwestern Afghanistan have seized 19 tons of explosive devices that had been transferred across the border from Iran, police said.

The devices had been placed in 337 boxes inside a 40-foot shipping container transferred from Iran over a bridge linking Afghanistan and Iran, he said.

Tehran has consistently denied supporting groups opposed to the Afghan government. U.S. and coalition troops have found evidence of some Iranian weapons inside Afghanistan in seized caches or in the aftermath of attacks.

1. Almost identical stories came up under Bush three or four times...
I wouldn't worry about it.

Until Obama starts petitioning for authroization to use force, we should be safe unless Iran attacks us.

2. Pakistan is also on Afghanistan's southwestern border.
Can't imagine there might be anyone there who dislikes both Iran and the U.S.-backed regime in Kabul. No?
