The Bush administration are at it again, making wild accusations in their ‘propaganda war’ against Iran. The latest claim was made by U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who alleges that Iran is providing the Taliban with weapons and equipments.

During a press conference with Hamid Karzai, the Afghan President, Robert Gates stated weapons are being smuggled from Iran to Afghanistan. He also stated that his latest intelligence reports indicate a “fairly substantial flow of weapons”.

However, there is absolutely no evidence to support these claims.

Afghanistan’s defense minister dismissed the claims by saying: “Actually, we have had good relations with Iran and we believe that the security and stability of Afghanistan are also in the interests of Iran.”

Could history be repeating itself as the Bush administration point the finger at innocent nations, rich in natural resources, - while rewarding the American military industrial complex with contracts worth billions of dollars that cost thousands of lives?

America can no longer sustain itself as practically all natural resources have been relinquished and the National Debt has reached an average of $1.34 billion per day.

This alone is could be motive for American to yet again invade and strip another country of its resources.

It has become abundantly clear that the Pentagon has no issues with telling farfetched and blatant lies to build public support for their immoral, illegal and unprovoked wars.

Do they really believe that we the people have learnt nothing from the insane accusations of WMDs and ‘45 minute threats’, - or is it a simply a case that they do not care?
