Hmmmmm....
Yes, they lie like rugs. And we should step on them just the same.
Thanks for the link.
Excellent. Takes me back.
Thanks.
:O)

How many of our past and present enemies have and do use are weapons against us? You missed the point completely.
What bozos.... I'm sure a lot of equipment and technologies for the Iranian nuke program could be justified by bureaucrats running UN "anti-drug" programs, too.....
"The batch of 250 night-vision systems were given a special export licence in 2003 because they were intended to be used by Iranian police trying to stem the flow of heroin and opium from Afghanistan into Iran."
Are the Brits that stupid?

"The Islamist regime has responded by cracking down on students on several occasions in order to defuse the most imminent threats of rebellion. It has also devised a more sinister and long-term plan for the containment of Iranian youth: a systematic and massive induction to drug addiction, which has now reached colossal proportions. Several United Nations and DEA reports have documented this crisis, indicating that drug addiction is the thorniest problem in Iran.
To give an idea of the magnitude of this matter, Afghanistan produced around 6,000 tons of opium in 2003—approximately half of which has been acquired by Iran. After the Afghani government announced it would crack down on opium production, the Iranian government decided, after an open debate reported by several official press agencies such as IRNA, to start producing opium on Iranian soil to satisfy the internal (and induced) demand."

One set of the equipment was found by Israeli forces in the southern Lebanon village of Mis-a-Jebel on August 10, in a house belonging to a 60-year-old man whose four sons are all Hezbollah fighters.
Another dramatic illustration came at this once-idyllic frontier kibbutz, now surrounded by artillery emplacements firing deafening rounds into Lebanon night and day. Israeli officers here gave a video tour of what they said was a command-and-control center captured two days ago in a four-bedroom house in a village called Mis-a-Jebel.
The video showed a night-vision video camera linked to a computer that was capable of firing Russian-made Sagger anti-tank missiles by remote control. The video also showed that the house was stocked with missiles, assault rifles, grenades, rocket launchers and a wall-sized aerial photo of Kiryat Shemona, the Israeli city across the border that's been hit with more than 700 rocket strikes in the past month.
"This is a system we can find in every serious army in the world," said Lt. Col. Olivier Rafowicz.
Rafowicz wouldn't say what happened to the four brothers who lived in the home, but he estimated that it was the headquarters for a 200-fighter Hezbollah operation.
Good post,
thnx
Hmmm....wonder if George Galloway has anything to say about this?
