THE CHINA/RUSSIA/IRAN LINK IS BEING CAREFULLY SEEDED

For months now there have been allegations that Iran is fuelling the sectarian fighting in Iraq, despite superior evidence that it is the UK/USA-creation and ally Saudi Arabia that is fuelling it.

More recently there have been allegations that China is supplying Iran with weapons.

Hence the image in the dulled mind of the average citizen of the UK and USA is that Iran is fuelling the Iraqi civil war, Russia is supplying Iran with nuclear technology, and that China is supplying Iran with convetional weapons to pass on to the alleged insurgents in Iraq.

This is becoming more overt with this article in the paper you can trust, The Weekly Bollocks Standard.

This year, many truckloads of small arms and explosives direct from Chinese government-owned factories to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards have been transshipped to Iraq and Afghanistan, where they are used against American soldiers and Marines and NATO forces. Since April, according to a knowledgeable Bush administration official, "vast amounts" of Chinese-made large caliber sniper rifles, "millions of rounds" of ammunition, rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), and "IED [improvised explosive device] components" have been convoyed from Iran into Iraq and to the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Secretary of Defense Robert Gates insists there is "no evidence as yet" that Tehran government officials are involved in shipping weapons to Iraq for use against U.S. forces, a judgment that seems to hinge on the view that the Revolutionary Guards are not part of the "government." But the administration source cautioned, "these are Revolutionary Guards trucks, and although we can't see the mullahs at the wheel, you can bet this is [Tehran] government-sanctioned."

Of course, there is the possibility that China is indeed chanelling conventional weapons to Iran as part of "the conspiracy" to foment a very ugly WW3. If so, then it is due to the deliberate bungling of the invasion of Iraq in 2003, which The Weekly Bollocks Standard championed so much.

You may recall that last week the news that Iraq won the Asian Cup, the implication being that if Iraq can win a football championship then all (oil?) is well in Iraq. But watch this interview of the captain of the victorious football team. It's an interview I don't think we'll be seeing too much of here.
