This time arms made in Iran are showing up in
Afghanistan....well I guess so since they armed
the Northern Alliance for years against their bitter
Sunni enemies, the Taliban.
From Juan Cole's most informative website
http://www.juancole.com/labels/Iraq%20War.html
Scott Harrop on the ridiculous claims in the NYT
and the Pentagon of Shiite Iranian arms going to the
hard line Sunni Taliban. Iran is allied to the
Hazara Shiite party in Afghanistan, the Hizb-i
Vahdat, members of which the Taliban massacred and
are still trying to kill. Yeah, it makes a lot of
sense for Iran to arm the Taliban.
Officers I've talked to in the US military are
absolutely convinced that Pakistan is behind the
neo-Taliban. For Peter Pace to bring up Iran is
just another piece of indirection. It is one thing
to be amused by a magician's tricks, it is another
to believe they are real. The second belongs to a
category: that of a sucker born every minute. You
let the American Enter-Lies Institute and Michael
Rubin lie you into a war with Iran, America, and you
will be very, very, very sorry.
