Two weeks ago Afghan officials intercepted a shipment of Iranian weapons en route to the Taliban in the Afghan province of Nimroz.
The police chief of Nimroz announced that they had intercepted a couple tons of Iranian explosives marked as food and toys, said Michael Rubin of the American Enterprise Institute, who just returned from a two week visit to Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Perhaps General Petraeus and the Obama Administration and NATO want to make it appear as if the Iranians are cooperating, but it’s all smoke in mirrors, AEIs Rubin said. All the Afghans I talked to said that Iranians were up to no good and unfortunately sitting down with the Iranians and including them in our talks about the future structure in Afghan security forces is going to be perceived by Afghans as the United States is surrendering, of the United States leaving and allowing the Iranians to fill the vacuum.
I thought our new strategy was to be nice to Iran and then they will like us and be our friends?
Obama is LBJ as the Afghanistan War is morphing into Vietnam. Re-elect him and in 4 years we will be pulling out of Kabul by helicopter.
The lesson that should have been learned from the Vietnam war, was not that the goal must be explained, with a stated goal. The lesson should have been that ANYONE supplying our enemy, was the enemy. ANY PLACE that materials or troops are gathering is the war zone. The place where the leaders of the enemy meet and plan is called the BULLSEYE.
How’re that “open hand” and that offer to negotiate without conditions working out, zer0?
Right before our eyes, these Iranians are trying to unite the Middle East,make it a super power and nuke weapon threat. Everyone is just sitting back and watching as the world’s state of affairs get so bad that a nuclear war is inevitable. Isreal will be the first to go. God help us. Obama won’t.
Be on the look out for MOAFT - Mother of All Food & Toys, spreading joy and warmth through out this holiday season!
