Cheney's Iran-Arms-to-Taliban Gambit Rebuffed: " Both Gates and McNeill denied flatly last week that there is any evidence linking Iranian authorities to those arms. Gates told a press conference on Jun. 4, 'We do not have any information about whether the government of Iran is supporting this, is behind it, or whether it's smuggling, or exactly what is behind it.' Gates said that 'some' of the arms in question might be going to Afghan drug smugglers.
The commander of NATO forces in Afghanistan, Gen. McNeill, implied that the arms trafficking from Iran is being carried out by private interests. '[W]hen you say weapons being provided by Iran, that would suggest there is some more formal entity involved in getting these weapons here,' he told Jim Loney of Reuters June 5. 'That's not my view at all.'"
Busted... The media is trying to convince us that Iran's government is arming Sunni's in Afghanistan, when there is no evidence of it. It is far more likely that it is private parties moving the weapons.
