Is Iran Supporting Taliban in Afghanistan?
Posted on October 8, 2009
Why wouldn’t they be? It would only make perfect sense.

U.S. military officials have told CBS News that Iran is sending money and weapons onto the Afghan battlefield. But U.S. commanders are not allowed to comment publicly and it’s unclear to them what the U.S. strategy is for dealing with Iran’s increasingly deadly involvement.
The deadliest form of roadside bomb on the Iraqi battlefield – explosively formed penetrators (EFPs) – is now being found in Afghanistan.
Lethal armor piercing bombs that can slice through U.S. humvees are also an Iranian specialty.
More worrying still: U.S. intelligence believes Iran is supplying surface to air missiles to the Taliban – the very same weapon the U.S. supplied to the Afghan resistance to bring down the Russians.
So the question is, “why would the U.S. muzzle the military on this?” I think we all know the answer. It would burst the bubble utopia liberals want to live in, and the President’s naive idea that talking to madmen that hate our guts might persuade them not to pursue nuclear weapons. If Iran, the Taliban, and Al Qaeda are all chums, what would keep Iran from sharing nuclear technology with them once they obtain it? Talking nice certainly won’t.
Iran sits at the nexus of radical Islamist terrorism, and has since its 1979 revolution. Obama may want to hush the military to keep that “secret,” but all it does is make the US look weak and ignorant. We should have pushed harder this summer to assist those in Iran who wanted freedom from the radical mullahs instead of giving the mullahs more legitimacy.

God help us! And may God protect us! May he also protect President Obama from himself (for he is his own worst enemy).
Except for the fact that the Shiites were persecuted during Taliban rule and the Iranians are predominately Shiites I see no reason they would not aid them.
