And America Isn't Already at War with Iran?

Remember that war by proxy against Iran thing I posted about a couple of years back? How Iran is involved with the Taliban/al Queda?

"U.S. military officials have told CBS News that Iran is sending money and weapons onto the Afghan battlefield. But U.S. commanders are not allowed to comment publicly and it’s unclear to them what the U.S. strategy is for dealing with Iran’s increasingly deadly involvement."

"This also puts to rest one of the silliest assertions of the war on terror, which is that Sunni and Shi’a radicals hate each other so much that they won’t partner with each other against the West. Shi’ite Iran has funded Hamas for years, which is primarily a Sunni radical group (Hezbollah is primarly Shi’ite). The Taliban are Sunni, as is the leadership of al-Qaeda, but they share a common enemy in the West, especially the US and Israel. Iran has every reason to support the Taliban and al-Qaeda in the fight against the NATO alliance as a means of weakening our position and strengthening the hands of Islamist radicals, no matter what sect they follow." -Ed Morrisey

Do you really need any more proof? Did you actually doubt it? And this president actually thinks that a) they're not a real threat? and b) they don't have a substantial nuclear program? Is he naive or just stupid?
But shhhh military spokesmen, don't mention anything about what everybody already knows.
