The United States is supporting anti-Iranian groups operating out of Pakistan's remote border regions, the speaker of Iran's parliament has said.

Gholamali Haddadadel accused the US of trying to put pressure on the government in Tehran, but said Pakistan was not involved in the operations.

"There is no doubt in our minds that the United States spares no effort to put pressure on the Islamic Republic of Iran," he said.

Sucks to on the receiving end, doesn’t it?

Good ol’ ABC disclosed the story of our covert operations first.

“US supporting terrorists”

Of course we are. Clinton had Arafat to the White House, Pelosi confers with Assad, we are friendly with the Saudis. Case closed.

Well damn if this isn’t the pot calling the snowflake black.

I agree with him that the US is supporting terrorists. In fact, that’s the primary mission of the Democratic majority these days.

Hey goat breath: Why don’t you have your ramshackle military try to kidnap 15 US MARINES and see what happens?

[Realism]

So am I the only one that see’s a problem with the U.S. being a state sponsor to extremists who commit acts of terrorism?

[Dreagon]

Sorry Iran but they aren’t terrorists.....they’re “freedom fighters” or “insurgents” >:)

What extremists? What terrorism?

Were the Cuban nationals fighting the Bay of Pigs invasion “terrorists”?

What is the target (civilian, medical, military, government)? What is the goal (terror, chaos, overthrow)?

I was expecting Iran getting bombed today with mullahs going to hell, hoping the rumor was true. No news no attacks...

[Realism]

What is the target (civilian, medical, military, government)?

If they are attacking civilians intentionally they are terrorists. I don't care who's picking up the tab.

“ABC News, citing US and Pakistani intelligence sources, said the raids had resulted in the deaths and capture of Iranian soldiers and officials. (snip) The group said it carried out an attack in February that killed at least 11 members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard on a bus in the Iranian city of Zehedan.” (Al Jazeera)

Says the targets were Iranian military and and government figures.

Was Zarqawi’s teenage wife a civilian? Should we have taken extra steps to take him out and spare her?

The target was not a bus of civilians with the goal of scaring the public and government. It was an act of war. Guerrilla war against the government figures.
