SNIPPET: "US Army Lieutenant Colonel Edward Sholtis announced on Monday that elements within Iran are training Taliban fighters on Iranian soil. The news that Tehran is supporting contingents of the Taliban is not new; US Ambassador to Afghanistan Karl Eikenberry has said several times before that the Iranians are providing material support to insurgents in the western provinces of Afghanistan.

What is unique about this current announcement is its claim that Taliban forces are receiving training on Iranian soil."

I’m attending the funeral of GySgt Rob Gilbert this weekend and he was killed by a sniper in Northwest Afghanistan. I don’t believe some Afghani became a skilled sniper on his own. This is coming from Iran.

Some folks need to get a clue abut Iran, they are supplying & training everyone from the Middle East to South America. They also roll along with their Nuclear weapons.

Then that Neo Leftist, Ron Paul says Iran is not a threat, leave them alone and would not vote to condemn Ahmadinehad.

Iran will have a nuclear weapon by the end of the Obummer administration if it does not already have one or soon will have, and the Obummer administration will do absolutely nothing to stop or prevent it.

Woe to the state of Israel on Obummer’s watch.

Obama has more important matters of national security to deal with, like denouncing Israel for building an apartment complex in Jerusalem.
