WASHINGTON — Cooperation among Iran, Al Qaeda and other Sunni extremist groups is more extensive than previously known to the public, according to details buried in the tens of thousands of military intelligence documents released by an independent group Sunday. U.S. officials and Middle East analysts said some of the most explosive information contained in the WikiLeaks documents detail Iran's alleged ties to the Taliban and Al Qaeda, and the facilitating role Tehran may have played in providing arms from sources as varied as North Korea and Algeria. The officials have for years received reports of Iran smuggling arms to the Taliban. The WikiLeaks documents, however, appear to give new evidence of direct contacts between Iranian officials and the Taliban's and Al Qaeda's senior leadership. It also outlines Iran's alleged role in brokering arms deals between North Korea and Pakistan-based militants, particularly militant leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar and Al Qaeda. The apparent links are striking because Iran has historically been a foe of the Taliban, who generally view the followers of Shiite Islam — Iran's predominant faith — as heretics. One of the more remarkable reports describes a November 2005 trip that departed from Iran in which Hekmatyar, the militant leader, and Usama bin Laden's financial adviser traveled to North Korea to close a deal with the North Korean government to obtain remote-controlled rockets to use against coalition aircraft in Afghanistan. Several reports describe Iran as a hub of planning activity for attacks on the Afghan government. A May 2006 report describes an Al Qaeda–Hekmatyar plot to equip suicide bombers and car bombs to attack Afghan government and international targets—using cars and equipment obtained in Iran and Pakistan. By April 2007, the reports show what appears to be even closer collaboration. A report that month describes an effort two months earlier in which Al Qaeda, "helped by Iran," bought 72 air-to-air missiles from Algeria and hid them in Zahedan, Iran, in order to later smuggle them into Afghanistan.

Well, there you have it! Some good has come out of our meddling and sending soldiers to die, after all! We've united previously warring muslim factions . . .
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Of Course. Let's ALLOF US take EXACTLY the Wrong Lesson from this. That we've lost the Invasion of Afghanistan, that there's zero proof of anyone but the US and our allies introducing heat seeking missiles, that the Whistleblowere are getting prosecuted, not the psychos killing with abandon. That it's EVERYONE's fault, Don't forget the Pakistaners!!! And just for Shits and Giggles could someone explain why the TWO bordering nations wouldn't be 'interfering'? And what the US IS doing there? LMFAO LA Shrimper: "They have a Plan for us alright. The Plan is to let us all die."
And you can tell Agit Prop right off the bat. The Orders had to come down from above before postings could be made to the Unwashed Peasants. ;}
The War of Terror. The War for the Jews. The War for Wealth Concentration. Marshall's studies spurred the development of intensive Pavlovian conditioning methods that raised the shoot-to-kill ratio to 50% in the Korean war, and 90% in Vietnam. That, Grossman suggests, is why PTSD rates skyrocketed. Normal, non-psychopathic men were being effectively turned into killers for the first time in history. When they came home, they couldn't live with themselves. It is a tribute to the American character -- to the fact that only about 5% of American men are psychopaths -- that our troops suffer from so much PTSD. The Israelis, on the other hand...how to put this politely? Andrzej Lobaczewski, in his seminal study of political psychopathy Political Ponerology, writes: "The pathocratic phenomenon [a society ruled by psychopaths and those who catch the psychopathic contagion] has appeared many times in history...[it sometimes] occurs when the religious association itself succumbs to infection...succumbs to destruction from within, its organism becomes subordinated to goals completely different from the original idea, and its theosophic and moral values fall prey to characteristic deformation, thereby serving as a disguise for domination by pathological individuals. The religious idea then becomes both a justification for using force and sadism against nonbelievers, heretics, and sorcerers, and a conscience drug for people who put such inspirations into effect." Clearly the "religious idea" of Zionism has undergone this kind of pathological shift.

Wooo-Hooo!! Republicans are poised to win in November.
