Iran pays $1,000 for each U.S. soldier killed by the Taliban - Sep 2010
Afghan group's treasurer admits receiving money from Iran, newspaper says

Iran is paying Taliban fighters $1,000 for each U.S. soldier they kill in Afghanistan, according to a report in a British newspaper. The Sunday Times described how a man it said was a "Taliban treasurer" had gone to collect $18,000 from an Iranian firm in Kabul, a reward it said was for an attack in July which killed several Afghan government troops and destroyed an American armored vehicle. The treasurer left with the cash hidden in a sack of flour, the newspaper said, and then gave it to Taliban fighters in the province of Wardak. In the past six months, the treasurer claimed to have collected more than $77,000 from the company.

The Sunday Times said its investigation had found that at least five Kabul-based Iranian companies were secretly passing funds to the Taliban. The newspaper's correspondent, Miles Amoore, said he met and interviewed the treasurer, who he said had been an illiterate farmer who was taught to read and write, plus basic accountancy, by the Taliban last winter. "We don?t care who we get money from," the treasurer was quoted as saying. He described the relationship with Iran as a "marriage of convenience." Iran is a predominantly Shiite country, while the Taliban is dominated by Sunni Muslims.

'For jihad'
"Iran will never stop funding us because Americans are dangerous for them as well. I think the hatred is the same from both us and Iran. The money we get is not dirty. It is for jihad," the treasurer told Amoore.

In addition to the $1,000 bounty on U.S. troops, the unnamed man said Iran paid $6,000 for the destruction of a U.S. military vehicle.

:2 cents: one guess where we're going next.

Nice to see the British banging the war drum. Looks like we will be fighting another war for the Brits and the Israelis :(

i think if we're going to be at perpetual war, we should at least conduct these things in a way that's profitable to the american public. let's get people manufacturing bomblets and ammo and armored vehicles and shit again....

Do they pay via paypal?

We cant afford to go into another war. We shouldnt have soldiers there so there will be no $1000 per head to be made.

ePass only, sorry. :disgust

You lot are very effectively brainwashed.

Old news

Jokes apart, What else would you expect if you invade a country and place different types of bans on another?

They are not going to welcome US soldiers with flowers or something.

That's how a war is.

Poor guys who get killed for greedy politicians :(

it's inevitable though. if we're waging war against Al Queasy and the Taliboys and "terror" in general, (or at least that's what we're spoon feeding the public on tv), then how can we not go in and invade Iran who is funding our enemy?

what happened to "you're with us or you're against us", and "the axis of evil", and "and those who harbor them", and all that shit? or was that just the ramblings of our beloved drunken cowboy and we don't necessarily have to follow that path?

Jesus predicted it... it will only get worse. Just look at all the misery in this world... Mexicans drug lords killing each other.... Religious wars... North Korea - South Korea.... Israel - Palestine... Slaughters in Africa... Greece on the verge of a Civil War....

Did I forget anyone?

ALL BECAUSE OF MONEY, POWER...

A hint to those who are quitting adult. :winkwink:

Jesus Villalobos, my gardener?

The headline says Iran, but the article says an Iranian firm.
"to collect $18,000 from an Iranian firm in Kabul"

Is it Iran, the government and people, or some company in Iran?

:1orglaugh ...

For the British? im puzzled please explain.

iran firm? is it iran the whole? don;t think so..

i will visit iran soon. lol

sure, because the Iranian government would never do such a thing. :1orglaugh

OT: does porn accessible there? :1orglaugh

beats me. i don't care if they even have food.

iran must be eliminated from this planet.

war is stupid and people are stupid

For the sake of waging war, it doesn't matter.

If it really mattered, the USA would have bombed the living shit out of Niger for their association with Iraq and that uranium bullshit.

$1k a soldier and $6k a vehicle isn't a bad price. Anyone up for a road trip?

"Sorry Mr. Ackmydidjaknob, but i'm gonna hafta go ahead and nuke ya just a little bit."

Not to sure what you fucking idiots would do. But if i had a lot of money. And Mr. I think your religion/people/want all your resources ie america. set up shop next door to me. Maybe just maybe they are stopping and thinking.

"hell if this war happens i will have nothing so may as well spend it fighting for my interest". you know just like the USA is doing?

And for 2 seconds if you think that intelligence agencies including ends of the military don't purposely hire fighters from the other side to keep unrest. you're a complete idiot.

The money is not in the war itself. The war is a distraction for real deals happening behind closed doors.

Iran has WMD made in trucks, Powell knows. :)

could someone restate this in intelligble english?

the surprise is not in that they are doing it, but that they got caught.

i've decided to become a teabagger. i got a pocket bible, currently working on developing a good healthy fear of god, going to sign making classes, and i'm going out this week and buy a gun.

After 9/11 the world was crying out for revenge. Now we have to live with the consequences. Pulling out of Afghanistan might give the country back to the Taliban and a haven for Al Queda, not to mention a great publicity boost.

The problems of the Middle East are way above the intellect of us here.

... I spotted a good beaten up trailer in a shitty park ... Interested ? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

judging by the signs i've seen, you can skip the sign making class. :thumbsup

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Similar bounty payments have existed in wars forever.

dangerous place ha!!!!!

Sounds lucrative. Where do I send my resume?

What the fuck ??? Posting drunk ?? :helpme

He meant Jews. :winkwink:

And Bill Clinton is sure he is trying to get nukes!

No I didn't I meant the Brits. We have went to war for the interest a lot in the recent past.

Tea Baggers: Welcome to my house...sit here on my couch...now lay back and get comfy...comfortable? good... now open wide, yes that's right, just like you're at the dentist... good, that's right mouth open nice and wide, now close your eyes Im going to dangle my scraggly hairy nut sack right into your mouth now...ok here we go, easy does it.

MockMood is skating on thin ice.

If you fools decide to have another play war, I hear there's a lot of Hummer H2's available for cheap.

irans never done anything wrong...why the beef?? anyone actually know of something they actually did, not that you think they might do, that would merit all this hate? no because there is nothing. they haven't started a war in hundreds of years, sign the nuclear nonproliferation treaty and let weapons inspectors into their country. whats the beef, aren't they allowed to defend themselves?

fucking invade Iran already and end this shit... its time they learnt resistance is futile...

Iran has been stirring up shit all over the world:

Iran armed Shiite Muslim rebels in Yemen

what on earth does this have to do with the original post? i hope you aren't trying to suggest iran is somehow defending itself by paying for killing u.s. soldiers in afghanistan.

The US already has a foothold in Iran, no need to invade them at this point. Do you really think the American government gives a fat flying fuck about some casualties on their own side, or who is funding those doing the killing? No, hell they'd fund the ones doing the killing themselves if it served them well. Iraq they needed to invade, Iran, they don't. End of story. This has nothing to do with saving face, or fighting terrorism, and everything to do with making money. The people calling the shots and running the good ol' US of A, they do not fucking care about you, or the soldiers lost, or whoever they need to kill to setup for the next multi-billion dollar business boom they are preparing. A multi-billion dollar boom that not one of you will ever see a penny from. The foreign policy is fucked (why do you think so many of these third world foreigners hate you with everything they got), the leaders of the nation are fucked, and you're all fucked for waving your flags and buying into it... :2 cents:

I feel you my brother... you Jews are some smart and ruthless motherfuckers, got nuthin but love for you, (but can an Arab brutha get a little Palestine?)

on a lighter note... shhhh don't tell anyone but GODdamn can a gentile score some great pussy on J Date.
