"Iran helping Taliban."

Is this news? It may be to Obama. On the other hand it may not be.

Really tempting to make a snide remark.

Really.

The US and UK military have been saying this at least for over a year now, based on the evidence, but Karzai wouldn’t acknowledge that in public. Karzai went as far as to deny it.

No surprise.

Iran has worked with al-Qaida, the Taliban, Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria, Venezuela, and Russia.

And 0bama thinks they’re not a threat to us simply because they’re a “tiny” nation. What an idiot.

Drop that kind of talk right now. If you don't I'll hunt you down and knock some sense into you.

I saw his interview (last Sunday) with Fareed Zakaria, he did not deny it but he shoved it as “not important”.

Thanks for the update on Karzai & Iran. You know somehow he’s getting the goods from Imanutjob.
