And what are we going to do about it besides ask the U.N. to write a nasty-gram in lavender-scented stationary?

We've supported insurgencies in Iran. This is nothing new.

That's not nice. They should just totally stand by and let us bully them. What good are they as a punching bag if they bite back?

I don't know why the reward is six times higher for destroying a vehicle. It's a propaganda war, when people see the news they don't care about burnt out humvees and supply trucks.

They might have more success and willing participants if they sorted their rewards out.

Well, don't you guys control Kabul? Ever think about mounting an operation there if you really think these Kabul companies are funding the Taliban. Of course it's much easier to instead shout BS so that people feel like Tehran should be nuked.

Let's see what the troops in Afghanistan actually do about this, if they do nothing then it's fabricated anti-Iranian propaganda because this problem never existed. The Afghan government and the troops have the power to stop these companies doing what they're doing if they really wanted to.

ya and during the iran/iraq war countries like spain / france supplied weapons and ammunition to both sides in the war.

I doubt this is hardly news. Has someone told you yet Pakistan is probably helping them out too?

Should have engaged with the moderate govt when the US had the chance.
Radical Iran is another monster of the US' own making.

Fuck Israel

A blow up flaming truck has a large impact on a video. And it's not considered distasteful like filming a corpse is.
