China Arming Terrorists in Iraq & Afghanistan…Through Iran
Bombshell from The Washington Times:
New intelligence reveals China is covertly supplying large quantities of small arms and weapons to insurgents in Iraq and the Taliban militia in Afghanistan, through Iran.
U.S. government appeals to China to check some of the arms shipments in advance were met with stonewalling by Beijing, which insisted it knew nothing about the shipments and asked for additional intelligence on the transfers. The ploy has been used in the past by China to hide its arms-proliferation activities from the United States, according to U.S. officials with access to the intelligence reports.
Some arms were sent by aircraft directly from Chinese factories to Afghanistan and included large-caliber sniper rifles, millions of rounds of ammunition, rocket-propelled grenades and components for roadside bombs, as well as other small arms. The Washington Times reported June 5 that Chinese-made HN-5 anti-aircraft missiles were being used by the Taliban.
According to the officials, the Iranians, in buying the arms, asked Chinese state-run suppliers to expedite the transfers and to remove serial numbers to prevent tracing their origin. China, for its part, offered to transport the weapons in order to prevent the weapons from being interdicted.
The weapons were described as “late-model” arms that have not been seen in the field before and were not left over from Saddam Hussein’s rule in Iraq.
After months of it being public knowledge that Iran is supplying terrorists in Iraq with weapons, training and funding, we find out that a good portion of the financing and arms have originated with none other than Red China. When will the majority of Americans be told of this during their nightly news broadcasts?
Why is this vital and shocking information still struggling to be set free, being repeatedly discussed largely on blogs but not on the American street? Enemies must be confronted if they are to be defeated. Negotiations, dialogue, discussions and ceasefires have time and time again proven not to lead to longlasting, meaningful world harmony.
Are we that afraid of war today, with the luxurious and comfortable lifestyles to which we’ve become accustomed? Are we so afraid that we will continue to deny the truth laid bare? We have a president who’s more concerned about the rights of illegal foreigners in America than the success of wars being waged abroad. We need a wake up call, now more than ever.
Just who will sound that alarm remains anyone’s guess.
