IRAN IN AFGHANISTAN? - AT 10:12 P.M. ET:  There is other news besides the president's speech on health care.  Fox News is reporting that there's now evidence that Iran is involved militarily in Afghanistan:

The discovery of a weapons cache in western Afghanistan has raised concerns that Iran is interfering in the war-torn country, much like it did in Iraq, by supplying weapons used to attack and kill U.S. and coalition troops, U.S. officials tell FOX News.

Afghan and NATO forces uncovered the weapons cache on Aug. 29 in Herat...

...There are questions about when these weapons entered Afghanistan, but a top U.S. military official tells FOX News that an Iranian rocket was recently fired at a base in Herat. Additional intelligence suggests that Iranians have been providing support directly to the Taliban.

Other coalition countries allege the Iranian influence is even deeper and that Iranian intelligence is funneling money to Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

COMMENT:  This comes just weeks before the supposed "deadline" for Iran to start negotiating seriously on its nuclear program.  It appears that Iran wants confrontation.  The question is whether Obama will confront the mullah regime, or let more time pass for "engagement."  Things aren't getting any better.
