President Bush's Defense Secratary Robert Gates said yesterday that Iran's government (Shiite) is supplying the Taliban (Sunni) weapons in Afghanistan.
Is this yet another propaganda campaign, first the lies about WMDs in IRAQ-now IRAN is the new boogie man, to keep the United States in ever more Military Wars in the Middle East?
The commander of NATO forces in Afghanistan, Gen. McNeill, contradicted Gates and implied that the arms trafficking from Iran is being carried out by private interests, not the government of Iran. "[W]hen you say weapons being provided by Iran, that would suggest there is some more formal entity involved in getting these weapons here," he told Jim Loney of Reuters June 5. "That's not my view at all."
