Since the Turks claimed the missiles were bound for either Hezbollah or the Palestinians, my first thought was that it might be disinfo connected with the current US scheme to tilt towards the Sunnis (with Saudi support) and smash all Shi'ites that Seymour Hersh has been talking about.<BR/><BR/>Additionally, the Daily Star (is that Lebanese?), says, "The Iranian Embassy issued a statement Wednesday denying that the weapons belonged to Iran, and said the allegations were being made 'by circles' aiming to disrupt Turkey's close relations with Iran."<BR/><BR/>So -- are the Turks doing this, or are they being set up? Are they really smuggling weapons or is the whole thing an elaborate stage show? And would "circles" be a reference to the US, the Kurds, or Israel -- or an insinuation of all three doing ring-around-the-rosies together?<BR/><BR/>The damn thing is like a 12-dimensional hyperspatial jigsaw puzzle. Any way I try to fit it together, I come up a few pieces short.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194776.post-27409992902112072302007-05-31T14:23:00.000+10:002007-05-31T14:23:00.000+10:00thnx mizgin - post updated.i'm not sure exactly wh...thnx mizgin - post updated.<BR/><BR/>i'm not sure exactly what is going on - who is acting on behalf of who etc.lukeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13280906371216516750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194776.post-40758478264152716712007-05-31T14:09:00.000+10:002007-05-31T14:09:00.000+10:00Thanks for posting a reference to the news of the ...Thanks for posting a reference to the news of the Turkish-assisted rocket transport from Iran to Syria, Lukery, but the news is not originally mine. It comes from a comrade, the owner of DozaMe.<BR/><BR/>The Hurriyet article referenced at DozaMe makes the claim that the rockets were American-made.<BR/><BR/>We had a report of Turkey doing the same thing during the Lebanon war last summer, during which time they were using Turkish Red Crescent vehicles to transport the arms. Turkey had engaged in similar activity in South Kurdistan beginning in April, 2003 and culminating in the famous "bagging" incident of a Turkish special team (which led to the movie--Kurtler Vadisi Irak).<BR/><BR/>The news of the transport of rockets with Turkey as go-between for Iran seems to be consistent with Sibel's information, don't you think?Mizgînhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01850990661771197094noreply@blogger.com
