Bush Set To Label Iranian Military Branch Terrorist
BY ELI LAKE - Staff Reporter of the Sun July 13, 2007 URL: http://www.nysun.com/article/58430
WASHINGTON — President Bush is set to declare Iran's revolutionary guard corps a foreign terrorist organization, marking the first time a branch of a nation's armed services would be designated on a list of organizations and entities created after September 11, 2001 to block the assets of Al Qaeda.
The paperwork that would designate Iran's revolutionary guard corps, or IRGC, and Quds Force is now on the president's desk awaiting his signature, according to three administration officials who requested anonymity. When queried by The New York Sun yesterday State and Treasury departmental spokesmen declined to comment. A spokeswoman for the National Security Council, Kate Starr, when asked about the pending designation said it would be "inappropriate for me to signal what kind of steps we might take in the future."
Before that, however, Ms. Starr said, "Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism. It uses fronts and government entities, sending arms, expertise and money to groups like Hezbollah, Palestinian terrorist groups, and Shia militias in Iraq. How we address Iran's support for terrorism is part of an ongoing strategy and entails a range of activities and measures, consistent with our national laws and UNSC resolution requirements."

The Revolutionary Guards (Pasdaran) are the Iranian equivalent to the Nazi SS. The Sepah Pasdaran (armed branch) are the Waffen SS. Just as the Waffen SS was declared a criminal organisation the Pasdaran are criminals.
History is repeating itself. War is coming. Captured Pasdaran will be enemy combatants NOT prisoners of war!
Hopefully, before the ink is even dry, the appropriate GPS coordinates will be uploaded and launch codes issued.
Sign it Mr. President.
Dubya needs to continue to actually “name” our enemy — Mohammadanism. Time to drop every speck of the politically correct and “new tone” crapola, and call it like it is. Once the sheeple get a clue how absolutely vital it is to defeat the Iranians and their proxies, lay into them with all we’ve got. Once he’s finally out of office, our chances will dwindle to nothing but capitulation and mealy-mouthed lip service. Not much time left, George, and you have to do it.
maybe it wouldn’t be like a blockade after all. Since it only applies to US dealings.
The State Department is afraid that if we call terrorists terrorists then someone might call us terrorists for doing that.
Chuckle. Interesting graphic. The truth is sometimes a source of black humor.
The State Department has traditionally had the Rodney King mindset, and that makes for a Rodney King life.
Killing US Troops in another country is an Act of War too you know.
I'd just like to a see a FReeking Declaration of War. But with the 'Rats in Congress, that's not going to happen, even if President Bush were to ask for one, which he won't.
We need that for IED factories in Iran to stop the shipment of said devices to Iraq. Iran produces some of the most IED devices that kills people in Iraq.
Did I miss the announcement that our cruise missile stockpile is depleted and have been declared obsolete? The previous administration didn’t seem to have any issue with lobbing a couple when they saw fit, without a declaration of war. All we’d need are about 6 or 10, with at least one directed in the general direction of the State Dept., just to encourage them to get their heads out of their asses. The time to respond to Iran’s open support for the jihadists in the world is long past due.
