International Relations

I've long thought that we have underestimated how active Iranian operatives are in Iraq. I was reminded of this when I saw an article about how a truckload of 75 IEDs (aka roadside bombs) was intercepted recently southwest of Baghdad. That's a lot of bombs!

Also the article asserts that the shipment was going to al Qaeda in Iraq. This is not good for two reasons: 1. Iran helping al Qaeda -- I've heard of this before, but not heard a lot about it lately, and 2. AQI still exists?
