Rumsfeld: Iranian weapons found in Iraq

Fox:

WASHINGTON — Some weapons entering Iraq are coming from Iran, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld (search) said Tuesday, though he indicated it was unclear whether they were coming from elements of the Iranian government or from other parties.

"Weapons clearly, unambiguously from Iran have been found in Iraq," he told a Pentagon briefing. "It's a big border. It's notably unhelpful for the Iranians to allow weapons of those types to cross the border." He did not provide further specifics.

Were I in the Pentagon Press Corp..I'd have two questions for Rummy:

1. Are these Iranian weapons the ones that we sent in exchange for hostages during the Iran/Contra Scandal?

2. How is it that Ronald Reagan didn't fight the "war on terror" in order to catch the guy that took our citizens hostage...and is now President of Iran?
