Will US do anything about Iran's weapon smuggling

Washington Times:

Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates tied Iran's government to large shipments of weapons to the Taliban in Afghanistan and said yesterday that such quantities were unlikely without Tehran's knowledge.
Mr. Gates' comments, following accusations by a State Department official, were the strongest yet by a Cabinet secretary about Iran's support of the terrorist group in Afghanistan.
Basing his conclusions on new intelligence, Mr. Gates said "given the quantities [of weapons] that we're seeing, it is difficult to believe that it is associated with smuggling or the drug business or that it's taking place without the knowledge of the Iranian government."
He said that the latest information indicates a "fairly substantial flow of weapons" is crossing into Afghanistan.
Undersecretary of State R. Nicholas Burns told CNN yesterday that "there's irrefutable evidence the Iranians are now doing this."
"It's certainly coming from the government of Iran," he said. "It's coming from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard corps command, which is a basic unit of the Iranian government."
State Department spokesman Sean McCormack told reporters "it certainly is hard to believe that the Iranian government isn't involved in some way, shape or form in this."
Mr. Gates and other defense officials would not go as far as Mr. Burns did. The Pentagon chief also said he was not as certain about the link to Iran's Quds Force, which is accused of arming and training Iraqi militants.

Gates does not want to acknowledge the obvious because of the consequences that flow from that acknowledgment. The US has been trying to avoid a confrontation with Iran over its support for terrorist in Iraq and Afghanistan, but the evidence is becoming to obvious to ignore. It is clear that the political situation in the US is such that the Bush doctrine can no longer be enforced when it comes to state sponsors of terrorism. So we are left with looking for excuses for not doing anything to Iran despite its acts of war. At some point we are going to have to destroy Iran's ability to make war and export weapons. We should also destroy Iran's training camps for terrorist. Making a gift of time to the evil men who rule Iran will not make the situation get any better.
