Is there a Secret Syrian-Iranian-Russian Alliance?
by J. R. Nyquist

Israeli sources are alleging the existence of a secret Syrian-Iranian-Russian alliance. The allegation is credible, even obvious to many who understand the close ties that exist between terror-supporting states and the “former” communist bloc. The allegation is also credible to anyone who watches the way Moscow supplies and encourages rogue states like North Korea, Iran and the old Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein. Consider the following tangled web: Recently published Iraqi documents confirm a Saddam-Taliban connection as previously alleged by terrorism expert Yossef Bodansky. Rounding out the overall picture, Pakistani journalist Hamid Mir recently stated that Iran and Russia are jointly supporting the Taliban’s resurgence in Afghanistan. In an interview with Paul Williams and David Dastych, Mir affirmed: “a top official of Afghanistan’s Interior Ministry revealed to me in Kabul that Russia and Iran are providing weapons and money to the Taliban. But we don’t have the courage to speak against them….”
Who will find the courage, indeed, to admit the truth about Russia and Iran? Who has the courage to say what is actually occurring as opposed to the mindless repetition of ideological falsifications? The left uses every occasion to bash Bush and deny the enmity of certain countries. It is America’s fault, they say. America is the villain of the piece while Russia is, once again, a “progressive country.” Even the right is disunited, as we find Patrick Buchanan declaring for retreat and isolation. Meanwhile the maligned “neo-cons” call for tougher measures, though none are to be aimed at Russia. They warn us about China and Iran and Syria. But Russia is left alone, wrapped in its cocoon of lies. The truth is lost on every side as each contestant struggles to prevail in a political debate that misses the big picture and the big enemy. The partisan bias that afflicts punditry makes any discussion of strategic realities difficult if not impossible. It is a sure path to obscurity for a writer to discuss the emergence of a powerful anti-U.S. bloc of countries led by Russia and China – a bloc that includes Western Hemisphere countries like Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Venezuela and Cuba. (Mary Anastasia O’Grady’s July 28 Wall Street Journal piece about Kirchner’s purging of anti-communists from Argentina’s military was particularly chilling when she stated, “Since 2003 Mr. Kirchner has been seeking retribution for the injuries sustained by his allies, the friends of Fidel.) America is facing a powerful international combination with a communist pedigree. This combination is on the march around the world, successfully punching holes in the decayed shell of Cold War containment, slowly undermining the U.S. economy and the Pentagon’s military position. If a pundit, here and there, bravely acknowledges that Russia and China are not our friends there is no echo, no discussion, and no feet to carry the revelation forward. The public’s incomprehension and lack of interest, fortified by half-truth and pregnant with a threefold misinterpretation, leaves the bravest of pundits without a leg to stand on. The fact that Katyusha Rockets are a Russian weapon has been lost in a maze of Islamist and Arab enemies, each assisting the other behind the scenes. Russia’s role is usually omitted, or chalked up to the economics of arms sales instead of strategic malice.

We just can not stand to hear the truth. Jeff again hits the nail on the head. When will we see the light at tyhe end of the tunnel is not a train but incoming nuke missiles.
