Another Taliban caught crossing from Iran
The Washington Examiner reports that “coalition” forces caught another Taliban fighter crossing into Afghanistan from Iran;
The Afghan man captured last week in Nimroz province was seen crossing from Iran into Afghanistan by a joint security team that had targeted him for capture. He was found to be working closely with the Quds force, a special unit within the Revolutionary Guard tasked with exporting Tehran’s Islamic revolution throughout the Middle East and Southwestern Asia. And he had connections to high-level Taliban leaders, coalition officials told The Washington Examiner. Two other people were detained during the operation, officials said.
“Insurgents are getting better training from Iran and being influenced by them,” a U.S. military official said. “We know that they are providing weapons to the insurgents and teaching them to be more efficient.”
The arrest of the Taliban trafficker is a significant step for military officials, who can gain intelligence on Iranian operations from him, the military official added.
Yeah, “gaining intelligence” like they have for several years now. To what end? So we can get a patty-cake contest going with Iran? There’s just so much intelligence to gather. How much more evidence do we need that Iran is at war with us at this point?
George Bush should have been flying armed drones over Iran for years, but since he hasn’t, Joe Biden should be pushing for it like he pushed for his robot zombie ninjas in Pakistan and eradicate some of these Quds dorks.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have been about Iran anyway, just like the impending war with North Korea has been about China all along. A couple of Hellfire missiles in the middle of the mullahs timed with an Israeli air strike on the nuclear facilities would send an indelible message to the rest of the world’s rogues.
Remember how docile the Iranians and Qaddafi were when the invasion against Hussein began? Sweet, sweet memories.

Just so. Every time these slimeballs killed one of us, we should have killed 100 of them.
But given our leadership, why shouldm they stop killing us? We’ve never done anything about it… so why stop?
Nothing will change until we do a full invasion. Missile strikes and strategic air strikes are nice, but they will only rile Ahmadinnerjacket up more. Nothing will change until we put troops on the ground and begin a full scale regime change in both Iran and North Korea. The only other option is to finish it before it begins, Hiroshima style. The American people will not want to front the cost (or borrow the money from China) for a prolonged war against Iran. Until they are willing to do that, nothing will change.
Nothing from nothing Bob, but you appear to be arguing both sides of the coin. So which is it? We take ’em on Hiroshima style or punt from 75 yard line and see what happens?
Think I’m still in favor of turning Iran into a glass parking lot and building a Walmart in the center.
I think I’ll go with #4. How about a Sam’s Club, rather than a Wal-Mart, Jacobite?
Capture. interrogate,then “disappear” as if he had never been born.
Lather, rinseand repeat. . . .
You know what really steams me, is that we KNEW they were sending Revolutionary Guard into Iraq to train up militias to kill Americans. We knew this clearly. We know they’re fully willing and able to create a Nuke, and worse USE it.
The worst part about all this is we ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN.
I respect your work , regards for all the good articles .
