Apparently U.S. Is Already at War With Iran -- In Iraq

Apparently the United States is already in at war with Iran. Iran is shipping deadly body-armor piercing bombs to Iraq to kill American soldiers, according to ABC News.

U.S. military and intelligence officials tell ABC News that they have caught shipments of deadly new bombs at the Iran-Iraq border.

They are a very nasty piece of business, capable of penetrating U.S. troops' strongest armor.

What the United States says links them to Iran are tell-tale manufacturing signatures — certain types of machine-shop welds and material indicating they are built by the same bomb factory.  . . . .

U.S. officials say roadside bomb attacks against American forces in Iraq have become much more deadly as more and more of the Iran-designed and Iran-produced bombs have been smuggled in from the country since last October.

"I think the evidence is strong that the Iranian government is making these IEDs, and the Iranian government is sending them across the border and they are killing U.S. troops once they get there," says Richard Clarke, former White House counterterrorism chief and an ABC News consultant. "I think it's very hard to escape the conclusion that, in all probability, the Iranian government is knowingly killing U.S. troops."

If this report is true, Iran is already at war with the United States.

And Iran's fingerprints are on the bombing of the Golden Mosque too.

Mad Iranian President, Amadjihad (my name for him) is craving the return of the 12th Imam, the five year old who disappeared in the 9th Century ( It's sort of a Muslim version of the second coming, but with a five year old).

Apparently, war and pestilence are the precursor to the pre-schoolers return.

Amadjihad seems hell bent on expediting the process.
