John Bolton: We Must Bomb Iran Now Related Videos
 McCain sings his chart-topping single "Bomb Iran" |  Bomb Bomb Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran |  We Work for GLaDOS Now |
WHO WROTE THE QUESTIONS FOR THE BLONDE?
WAS HER NAME BARBARA BOMBARAN?
Frankly I don't know how the American people (or anyone) would believe a word that "American Intelligence Experts" would say after all the bad intelligence and lies we fell for 5.5 year ago. But then again walruses are soooo cute!
Bolton: Yes, I would.
In reply to this comment by twiddles:
Hmmm... if Israel has the evidence let them bomb Iran. They're big boys. They had no qualms about bombing Iraq or Syria.
This guy must get the same "intelligence" as John McCain.
Post collapse of the USSR, the US interest in Afghanistan evaporated, the aid ceased and the country was left without a concrete head of state owing to the Soviet-Afghan war. Warlords arose each vying for power, Pakistan got heavily involved in the Pashtun regions and cultivated the growth of the Taliban via it's Afghan War ISI connections, a Pashtun state influenced by Pakistan would be a lucrative accomplishment for such a strategically located nation.
Support also came from Saudi Arabia as they supported a creation of a Islamic Sunni Sharia state regardless of how flawed the Taliban interpretation of Islam was. Iran being a Shia state was not comfortable with such a development, and supported the warlords of the North and the previous government. To a lesser degree other Central Asian nations got involved.
Afghanistan could lead to lucrative Oil and Gas pipelines from the former Central Asian Nations to ports in Pakistan or Iran.
What happened over the next few years was a great game being played between the Central Asian States, Pakistan, Iran and Saudi Arabia. Each trying to influence the Taliban or the warlords depending on who was aligned with their interests. However the Taliban listened to no one really, while basically taking over the entire country through constant war.
Iran supported more moderate or rather alternative forces to the Taliban (one can't claim any real democratic force was in play). Post 9/11 and the incursion of US forces, Iran also provided ample assistance to the Karzai government, a fact rarely reported on by the media or Washington because it dismantles the war driving narrative.
Iran never supported the Taliban.
To claim such a thing shows either a remarkable misunderstanding of the situation on the ground within its historical context or bold lies being pushed to create a larger bogey man out of Iran.
I believe it's a combination of both.
PS: If you desire a deeper understanding of how the Taliban developed and Afghanistan in the early to late 90s, I recommend Ahmed Rashid's Taliban: Militant Islam, Oil and Fundamentalism in Central Asia.
He should just give up his punditry and go play poker for the rest of his life with Rumsfeld, Tenet, and Jim Baker. At least there their lies and bluffs won't hurt anyone.
