Once again the UN has proved their incompetence!
On the sfgate.com website this morning there is an article entitled, “Hezbollah night-vision gear was from Britain, Israel says It's believed to be an export to Iran in drug-fighting effort”
Israeli intelligence officials have complained to Britain and the United States that sensitive night-vision equipment recovered from Hezbollah fighters during the war in Lebanon had been exported by Britain to Iran. British officials said the equipment had been intended for use in a U.N. anti-narcotics campaign.
Israeli officials say they believe the state-of-the-art equipment, found in Hezbollah command-and-control headquarters in southern Lebanon during the just-concluded war, was part of a British government-approved shipment of 250 pieces of night-vision equipment sent to Iran in 2003.
Iran is a terrorist state and has been since the 1960’s, so why would the UN send such sophisticated military equipment to them? Do they really think that Iran is going to help in a drug-fighting effort? It’s known internationally that Iran will lie, deceive and delay any efforts to rein them in, and that they support Hezbollah, not to mention that they want to see Israel wiped off the map.
"These are tactical night-vision systems ... given to Hezbollah by Iran. The Iranians are the 100 percent provider of all the materiel, especially intelligence materiel, to Hezbollah," Radowicz said. (Lt. Col. Olivier Radowicz, an Israeli army spokesman)
One more question…what ever happened to “we will not, and do not, negotiate with terrorist and states that support terrorist?”
It seems to me that there are a lot of elements out there that are trying to perpetuate instability in the world, and the UN, along with the greed of weapons manufactures and the countries which sell these weapons are two of the major offenders.
