Gutless Commander in Chief does nothing about it

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan- Iranian military advisers have been training Taliban fighters in Afghanistan on the use of surface-to-air missiles, a potential game changer in the war if insurgents can use such weapons effectively, several current and retired military officials told The Washington Examiner.
“We know the [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] has been training Taliban fighters in the use of surface-to-air missiles,” said a military official in Afghanistan with knowledge of the situation. “As of the moment it is uncertain whether the Taliban has access to the weapons systems necessary to utilize this training against the coalition.”
That is the key question — whether the Iranian government or other supporters of the Taliban have so far supplied the weapons necessary to conduct significant attacks against U.S. or coalition aircraft in the region, military sources said. The Iranians reportedly possess Chinese portable surface-to-air missiles of the type that would threaten coalition aircraft.
When asked whether Iran was training Taliban to use surface-to-air missiles, supplying weapons or had used surface-to-air missiles against U.S. aircraft recently shot down in Afghanistan, a Pentagon official said the Defense Department “cannot address questions this specific and of this nature at an unclassified level.”
NATO has had an advantage with the use of helicopters and aircraft since the beginning of the war. Insurgents have been armed mainly with small arms, improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and rocket propelled grenades.
Since the Soviet invasion, shoulder-fired missiles have circulated among militants, but they have been of limited use, in part because they have damaged parts or dead batteries and in part because the Taliban fighters lacked the training to use them. An Afghan official based in Kabul said that Iran has been training the Taliban in using the weapons and may be supplying them.
The official said that an Afghan intelligence report revealed that Iran was supplying batteries for the older model surface-to-air missiles.
Such intelligence is worrisome for U.S. and NATO officials. Surface-to air-missiles supplied covertly by the United States to mujahideen fighters in the 1980s played a crucial role in the defeat of Soviet forces in Afghanistan. Coalition forces are even more dependent on moving troops and supplies through the air than the Red Army was, experts said.
In July, WikiLeaks released classified internal U.S. military reports describing Taliban insurgents firing on an American Chinook helicopter with a surface-to-air missile. There are 11 references in these reports to insurgents having Chinese HN-5 surface-to-air missiles. Military officials are not confirming these reports.
Retired Army Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely said U.S. Defense officials have known for some time that Iran has been training Taliban in IED and surface-to-air missile training. “And we do nothing about it,” he said.

Obama is a fucking tool of the MIC, but republicans are far more war mongerers.

 

[Claudette]

He could go to the UN.

They could put in another resolution.

We all know what Acmalphabt and the mullahs do with those UN resolutions.

Wipe their asses of course.

Nope. Short of going to war no Potus can do much about Iran.

Don't care who's in the WH.

So send an email to your Marxist tool.....
Maybe you will make it onto a list.
Republican warmongers like Kennedy, Johnson, Truman, FDR, Clinton. Mkay.......

 

[bodecea]

Well, the Iranians don't have to fear Saddam's Iraq behind them anymore, do they?

 

[Capitalist]

Well, the Iranians don't have to fear Saddam's Iraq behind them anymore, do they?

So are you saying that Iran wouldn't pursue present policies if the Butcher of Baghdad was still in power? I'm guessing that wouldn't make any difference, but it does sound nice when you say it.

 

[GHook93]

In all reality what is he going to do. Try to catch them in the act and try to stop them from doing it.

But just like the Soviets couldn't stop us from doing it, we can't stop them short of nuking or invading Iran!

Are you saying the reshuffling of power in the ME has not had an effect on Iran's actions? Kind of ignorant however.

Do as we say not as we do eh?

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

did you think the USSR was 'gutless' when they didn't attack us in their Afghanistan war because we were supplying Al Queda with stinger missiles? Probabaly not. something tells me you're one of those chicken hawks......sit behind your computer egging the POTUS to send someone else to a war.

Its no secret that the Hussein has no backbone and will not stand up to Iran. So they will continue actively helping our enemies.

Really?
Tell me more about me and while you have the floor tell me how I am "egging POTUS to send someone else to war". This is hilarious, do you imagine that POTUS is out here reading your every word or mine. I venture that POTUS and his staff are involved in planning the next golf outing rather than hanging on my next sentence. Maybe that voice in your head only sounds like POTUS.
Heaven forbid that we bring the world to the edge of nuclear conflict like the
dems did with Russia.

Winston Churchill...

We owe to the Jews a system of ethics which, even if it were entirely separated from the supernatural, would be incomparably the most precious possession of mankind, worth in fact the fruits of all wisdom and learning put together.

Some people like Jews and some do not, but no thoughtful `person' can doubt the fact that they are beyond all question the most formidable and most remarkable race which has ever appeared in the world

The coming into being of a Jewish state in Palestine is an event in world history to be viewed in the perspective, not of a generation or a century, but in the perspective of a thousand, two thousand or even three thousand years" "This is an event in world history

Alexis de Toqueville...

Istudied the Koran a great deal. I came away from that study with the conviction there have been few religions in the world as deadly to men as that of Muhammad. So far as I can see, it is the principal cause of the decadence so visible today in the Muslim world and, though less absurd than the polytheism of old, its social and political tendencies are in my opinion to be feared, and I therefore regard it as a form of decadence rather than a form of progress in relation to paganism itself.

Winston Churchill...

How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy.

The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.

A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.

No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.
