Components for IEDs coming from Iran?

15 of the hijackers on 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia. So why didn't we react militarily to the threat posed by Saudi Arabia?

1. Stop it w/ those facts right now.

Why do you hate America?

Besides Iran might be helping the Shi ites in Iraq but they are blood enemies of the sunnis.
And the sunnis are big part of who is fighting us.

If George Bush told me it was cold and dark in International Falls, MN on New Years Eve I would
put on shorts and sun block. Good night he is such a liar and now he wants a war with Iran?

5. Sounds like a bunch of Al Qaqaa- but that went down the memory hole

Huge Cache of Explosives Vanished From Site in Iraq --NY times, oct 25, 2004

"American weapons experts say
their immediate concern is that the explosives could be used
in major bombing attacks against American or Iraqi forces:
the explosives, mainly HMX and RDX, could produce bombs strong enough to shatter airplanes or tear apart buildings."

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/25/international/middleeast/25bomb.html?ex=1256356800&en=3bcf849cf3a68472&ei=5090&partner=kmarx

The high explosives were stored there were 340 tonnes consisting of:

194.741 tonnes of HMX,
141.233 tonnes of RDX, and
5.800 tonnes of PETN.
and I don't buy the argument that they couldn't be used in IEDs
