From the "Need Another Mideast Problem" Department

There are reports coming out that indicate that Iran is designing, manufacturing, and smuggling effective IED's into Iraq for use against U.S. troops.

This is bad. With a confrontation brewing over Iran's fledgling nuclear program, it appears that they are finding ways to strike at American troops without a direct confrontation. I do not want to see an armed conflcit with Iran, but it may come to that in the future. The question will become, "are we capable of fighting Iran while still in Iraq and Afganistan?" I can't answer that, but I will be following these issues more closely.
