Iranians Smuggle 22 Tons of Explosives Into Afghanistan For the Taliban To Kill U.S. Troops

This is it. President Obama, we implore you - declare war on the nation of Iran. Now. This is an act of war against U.S., Afghan and NATO troops engaged in the War in Afghanistan and there is absolutely NO EXCUSE for looking past this act of war. Twenty two TONS of explosives, people. Do you have any idea just how many IED's can be made from 22 tons of TNT? Let's put it bluntly...this confiscated shipment of explosives, disguised by the Iranians as food and toys, could literally have meant the death of over 1,000 U.S. and NATO troops.

From the news report at Fox News:

Afghan police said Wednesday they had seized 22 tons of explosives stashed in boxes marked "food, toys and kitchenware" that were reportedly imported from neighboring Iran.

The discovery was made Tuesday in a customs office in the western province of Nimroz on the Iranian border, deputy provincial police chief Mohammad Musa Rasouli told the AFP.

"We found these materials hidden in a 40 foot shipping container that had come from Iran. The explosives were disguised as merchandise like food, toys and kitchenware," he said.

Bombs made from old ammunitions and explosives are the main weapon used by the Taliban and other insurgents fighting against the Western-backed Afghan government and Western troops, and cause the bulk of military casualties.

Foreign military commanders and some Afghan officials have accused Iran of providing weapons to the Taliban, the chief group leading the insurgency since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion ousted its regime from power.

Much to my dismay and absolute rage, we allowed the Iranians to export IED materials and training into the Iraq War and kill our soldiers and Marines...I've had it. I've fucking HAD IT UP TO HERE! If the U.S. military and the President of the United States of America, our Commander-in-chief, lets this go...that's it. The Iranians are going to make up a hundred excuses and claim it isn't there stuff but the Afghans have the proof. We take the proof, we document it, we present it to the world and then we simply declare that Iran is our declared enemy in the War in Afghanistan. And we get to work on that fucking scumbag country. First thing is we turn that Iranian/Afghanistan border into a wall of fire - there shouldn't be a single Iranian troop within 25 miles of that border by the time we get done.

There is no excuse, absolutely no excuse, for letting this act of war slide. The American people, in support of our troops, DEMAND the Iranians pay dearly for this.

Afghan Police Seize 22 Tons of Explosives From Iran

Tehran, a long-running U.S. foe, denies the charges and senior Afghan administration officials say they have no evidence against Iran.

The U.S. and NATO have more than 150,000 troops in Afghanistan to fight the Taliban and keep President Hamid Karzai's administration in power.
