Iran caught Red Handed delivering weapons to Taliban

    NATO has caught Iran red handed in delivering weapons to its former enemy...for the sole purpose of fighting against NATO troops.

    I don't think that should surprise anyone here, but I'm glad they got caught and it is documented. Things look bad to me. I was thinking about all the crap in the world and typed in ww3 in my google browser. I found this site here and read today about ww3 and what to do to prepare. I think if I were on a site like that a year ago I would feel like they were totally wacky, now I don't feel that way so much. Lots of doom and gloom...

    It has got to be Mount Weather.

    But I doubt that you would get an entry ticket. :D

    If the sh*t hits the fan it is very comforting to know that such illustrious heroes like Bush and Cheney will be fully protected. :)

    Interesting, I actually didn't even know that place existed. But you know President Bush will be totally protected. When the rest of us are all blown to smithereens, he'll probably be doing the wild thing in his quest to repopulate the world.:)

    I'm no supporter of the Iranian regime, but truth must be said. There is simply no evidence on your claim of Iran's involvement:

    In fact US Defense Secretary Robert Gates told reporters :

    Also

    Afghan President Hamid Karzai insisted that it is unlikely the Iranian government was behind the recent influx of weapons.

    The above quotes are from high government officials.

    yes, Robert Gates has not said they are for sure....you are correct on that part. But when was the last time we flat out blamed someone and did nothing about it? The US is waiting on the UN to0 do something (which will never happen)...Iran has been helping for years. Go back and read the report for Gate's comments.

    It's a fairly secretive place Rebecca for the chosen ones to bolt to in the event of a disaster. :p

    And as you said, we'll all be left outside. :(

    The title of your thread is wrong and misleading: “Iran caught Red Handed delivering weapons to Taliban”.

    The Taliban have always been the enemy of Iran, and still are. If you go a little back in history you’ll find that it was the Americans Under Carter and Regan administrations that gave life and power to the mujahideen (comprising the Taliban) and not Iran.

    The statement of the president of Afghanistan was very clear “We have a very good relationship with the Iranian government," he said. "Iran and Afghanistan have never been as friendly as they are today."

    Gate talked about some Iranian weapons and not Iran. You talked about Iran! This is like saying America caught Red Handed delivering weapons to some rebel groups in Somalia, just because smuggled American weapons were found in the rebel’s possession.

    the enemy of my enemy is my friend, ferret. But this is when its helpful to read:

    Adding to that that Iran supplies the terrorists in Iraq with weapons, and you got yourself a little problem, don't you?

    Do you mean like when USA was supplying weapons to terrorists in Afghanistan fighting Russians or supplying weapons to terrorists in Nicaragua fighting the government or supplying weapons to terrorists.....? :rolleyes:

    If you get involved in a war, people who don't like you, will try to make your life as miserable as possible. It is a simple fact of life that if you shoot people then they will shoot back but it is very strange that this simple fact will always surprise many Americans that just expect that the other side shouldn't do anything. :rolleyes:

    Trying to deflect again, are we? Somehow I figured you'd come in, change the subject trying to mitigate Iran's responsibility in killing Americans and NATO soldiers.

    All you really have to say here is "Iran shouldn't be sending weapons to arm terrorists who are killing Canadians, Americans and other members of NATO" It's not really that difficult, is it?

    I was talking about the stupidity of the view that expects that the enemy should not fight back. ;)

    As long as the situation in Afghanistan and Iraq is not solved and military actions are continued, you can not seriously expect that the enemy is nice enough to get killed without shouting back, do you? :rolleyes:

    If you were really concerned about soldiers safety, you would support finding a political solution but as long as military actions continues, the other side will shoot also and people from both sides get killed, no matter what anyone says in a forum. :rolleyes:

    No, you are talking about Iran (who is not involved in this conflict) supporting terrorists in Afghanistan killing your countrymen and mine. And talking about Iran (who, again, is not involved in the conflict) killing Americans as well. Isn't that what you are -really- talking about? Or do you consider Iran the enemy here?

    So, are you for or against Iran (who is not involved in either conflict) arming terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq? It's not a very difficult question, is it? Their weapons kill your countrymen, right? Do you enjoy that?

    Please enlighten me as to the policital solution; when their starting point is everyone who isn't their religion needs to be killed.

    We are talking about Afghanistan and not Iraq in here.

    The U.S. did not have evidence "of the involvement of the Iranian government in support of the Taliban." So on what evidence are you basing your claims?

    Unnamed officials or unfounded analysis! Is that the best you could offer?

    We already have evidence of Iranian involvement in Iraq.

    NATO says Iran is shipping weapons to the Taliban:
    It's not really a difficult concept to comprehend is it?
