| #6 we caught the man taking delivery as well as acquiring 19 tons of very useful material Yes, but I'm pretty sure that for every load we intercept, 100 fly by right under our noses. And how hard can it be? It's over a bridge! Shouldn't we at least be watching the obvious choke points and make their lives a bit miserable? They just piled this stuff into a container, gave a slap after they closed it, and trucked it straight across a bridge to the waiting hands of our enemies! I'm sure there's more to it, such as a porous border and all, but I'm going to bang my head on the corner of a filing cabinet until I understand how this can happen so easily. There should be zero traffic across the border with Iran as far as I can tell. |

| #5 AFP via Fox News adds Afghan police said Wednesday they had seized 22 tons of explosives stashed in boxes marked "food, toys and kitchenware" that were 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 said. "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 added. When they die may they go straight to Hell, there to have their intestines roasted by devils beyond the end of the universe. |

| #1 No wonder why Iran thinks we're idiots. Clearly they do, gorb. But we've got a spy in their ranks, and we caught the man taking delivery as well as acquiring 19 tons of very useful material. (Surely we can do something with the stuff, if only making some suddenly loud and spectacular fireworks!) And now they should be looking at their own people funny, wondering which one(s) are talking to us, just like the purges at the nuclear sites because of the Stuxnet worm... and the panic a few years ago about robot squirrels spying for the Americans. |
