>>>Don't like that we're funding terror groups, even if they're our terror groups. <<<

Swallowing the MSM vernacular whole aren't you? Terrorists??

The attack by the Baluchis was on Iranian Army units. Thats not terrorism....thats war against a country that is killing our guys in Iraq...and has been killing Baluchi tribesman for ages! Evidently about 20 Iranian soldiers were killed. Terrorism, by defination, targets civilians.

As for funding...sounds to me we are using appropriate "cut-outs" to keep it legal and above board.

While that's technically true, it seems to miss the forest for the trees. The same Baluchi tribesmen who are attacking (right now) only military targets in Iran are, in neighboring Pakistan harboring large numbers of Taliban and Al Qaeda.

It seems a bit odd (and perhaps myopic) that the US would be supporting the same people in Iran whom it is fighting in Pakistan. Remember that Ramzi Yousef and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed are both Pakistani Baluchis.

The Baluchis are Sunni extremists and I fail to see how they are in any way preferable to Shi'ite extremists (the Iranian Revolutionary Guard).
