What goes around comes around.

There is always two sides to a proxy war.

The Telegraph is full of leaks today!

Guaranteed the CIA is getting carte blanche in laying the ground work for an insurgency in Iran.

His claims were backed by Fred Burton, a former US state department counter-terrorism agent, who said: "The latest attacks inside Iran fall in line with US efforts to supply and train Iran's ethnic minorities to destabilise the Iranian regime."

Not a lot of meat on those bones which Fred seems to be picking at.

They just can't live with the fact that some people in Iran just doesn't like their current Govt. So, have to make it a conspiracy.

Such a policy is fraught with risk, however. Many of the groups share little common cause with Washington other than their opposition to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose regime they accuse of stepping up repression of minority rights and culture.

Good thing to keep in mind. Ahmadinejad will most likely be out of office within the next couple of years, but his replacements are unlikely to be any more "pro-American".

This plus the recent story that Israel is negotiating to use Iraq's air space indicates that something big is afoot. I suspect Abby will be hearing from us very shortly...

Shhh...we're not supposed to talk about such things. Perish the thought. We would never fund such people. That's never going to happen.

Exactly.

Pakistan has also been learning about it lately...after years of playing this dirty game in Kashmir, a-la Balochis vis-a-vis India.

"Funding for their separatist causes comes directly from the CIA's classified budget but is now "no great secret", according to one former high-ranking CIA official in Washington who spoke anonymously to The Sunday Telegraph"

Ahhh, the dreaded "Former (insert title here) Official".

Isn't it interesting -- real terror groups in Iraq are called "insurgents" and groups who want to rise up AGAINST the terrorist government government of Iran and establish democracy in Iran are called "terrorist groups".

No bias in the media. (/sarc)

The US has also moved six heavy bombers from a British base on the Pacific island of Diego Garcia to the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, which could allow them to carry out strikes on Iran without seeking permission from Downing Street.

>>>The Baluchistan-based Brigade of God group, which last year kidnapped and killed eight Iranian soldiers, is a volatile Sunni organisation that many fear could easily turn against Washington after taking its money. <<<

Khaled Shaikh Mohammed, KSM, who was the principal al Qaeda operational planner for 911 is a Baluchi (from the Pakistani side of the border). He attended college in North Carolina. His nephew, Ramzi Yousef, who was convicted of the 1993 WTC bombing, is also Baluchi, and as shown by Laurie Mlyroie's research, a probable Iraqi agent. He is behind bars in the U.S.

Maybe not all Baluchis are this treacherous, but if these two are any indication....we should keep a close eye on them after we befriend them.

Aw, Iran's already communist. Almost all of the businesses are owned by the government there. So let the MEK help, and give them all kinds of verbal thanks and pretty awards when it's over. Then give them one or two token seats in a big parliament, through which they can become more educated. ...problem solved.

That rascal Bush, he has those Muslims fighting amongst themselves....

How does all this Muslim on Muslim killing have ANYTHING to do with the existence of Israel, or America's support of Israel?

Truth is -- the Islamist bastards simply have nothing more entertaining to do other than killing each other..

Hell, they can even come up with excuses to slit their own daughter's, cousin's or aquaintences throat for some perceived "dishonor" or "insult"...

A whole lot of those bastards "need killin"...
I'd like to see us do it SOON and in LARGE NUMBERS.
Semper Fi

In that photo, Pres. Achmadinajad looks like he needs a laxative. Perhaps he's been shooting the smack a little too much lately? Try to imagine a world leader of a non-insane government with that facial expression in a photo.
