►Iran Paying Taliban to Kill U.S. Troops

---

EXCERPT:

KABUL -- At least five Iranian companies in Afghanistan’s capital are using their offices covertly to finance Taliban militants in provinces near Kabul, according to a Sunday Times investigation.

Afghan intelligence and Taliban sources have told the newspaper that the firms, set up in the past six months, provide cash for a network of district Taliban treasurers to pay battlefield expenses and bonuses for killing the enemy and destroying their vehicles.

The Iranian companies win contracts to supply materials and logistics to Afghans involved in reconstruction. The money often comes in the form of aid from foreign donors.

Profits are transferred through poorly regulated Afghan banks — including Kabul Bank, which is partly owned by President Hamid Karzai’s brother Mahmood — to Tehran and Dubai.

Wouldn’t you just hate to see our hard-earned tax dollars (Will U.S. Bail Out Afghanistan’s Central Bank?) be used as bonuses to incentivize those ornery Taliban militants to kill U.S. soldiers?

These ornery Taliban militants (Bomb Kills 54 in Pakistan, Taliban Threatens U.S.) are the same ones Obama never mentioned in his speech to the nation Tuesday evening. There’s a very good reason for that. It is his first step in getting us out of Afghanistan and ending this pesky war that has been in his way of focusing on more important things like managing the decline of our country.

He left the Taliban out of the speech so that he can negotiate some kind of peace deal with them in the near future. (You know, the kind that has worked well for Israel and Palestine all these years?) Once that’s done, he will then give another one of his disastrous war speeches at a time when it is politically expedient to him.

He will say that we defeated Al Qaeda, but he will not say we were victorious in the war. Instead, he will give the enemies the drop-dead date when he plans to pull the troops out of Afghanistan.

So, just like that, the wars are off his desk. They are over and he will get credit for ending them. He will want credit for ending them, not for winning them. With the wars out of his way now, he can then continue to focus on what is really important to him which is transforming the country into a socialist state.

Once that’s over, then President Obama will finally say the word, "Victory!"
