When asked if U.S. policy has been changed with respect to three different terrorist organizations that have reportedly been active recently against Iran "based on the notion that an enemy of our enemy is our friend," McClellan insisted that it hadn't.

"Our policies haven't changed on those organizations," said McClellan. "They remain the same."

"And you're bringing up organizations that we view as terrorist organizations," McClellan added.

The reporter cited three different terror group activities: "PKK going over the border into Iraq, the MEK southern border of Iraq into Iran, and also certain operations from Balochistan involving also the Pakistanis."

Uh, yeah. Sure, Scott.

At least this is getting some traction in the WH press corps.

1. There must be truth to the special ops in Iran

Too many persistent reports about that kind of thing going on.

[TomInTib]

2. If we're not using them, it would be a first.

We always use locals as irritants and to do the work we either won't or cannot do.

[Sparkman]

6. You have to be on the top 10% of DUers "ignore list" for such sedition!

[TomInTib]

11. Yeah, I have a problem when it comes to reality.

I will bet I have seen more close-in combat than anyone on this site.

I have also been involved in training and working with locals to keep areas unstable and to facilitate long-range recon and target extraction.

Th-th-th-that's War, folks!

[Sparkman]

13. AND it's no SECRET that seals and rangers and spooks and 300+ U.S. bases

have full time jobs working for us. Politicians, unfortunately, like JFK the 1st, IKE and McCain don't seem to get consulted about policy, and maybe even not tactical strategy. Technicians make the gears mesh, that the managers throw wrenches at.

3. Office of Special Plans & Proj for a New American Cent were figments too?

What can be expected from a group of war profiteers that in the 1970's bombed Cambodia "secretly", tell that to those in S.E. Asia, and fabricated war-excuses from the war with Mexico to the genocide of the Indiginous Americans to the Lies engulfing Iraq to Nicaragua to the concentration camps for Japanese Americans and so on ad infinitum.
Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn needs to be assigned reading for every high school student given a diploma. Stupid is as stupid does, Empire in Decline, ban the intellectuals & their pesky books, consult your pastor or priest or rabbi before you accept science facts are ruling this age.

4. Don't worry, we believe you

Really, we're not cynical.
Please lay on some more great straussian myths.
Please, we'll soak them up gratefully.
We are but faithful sheep, please lead us, giant penis.

12. Manufacturing Consent

is the name of the game.

[sweetheart]

14. Its stops at the pond's edge

That shit don't float across the atlantic, as
much as tony blair serves as a transatlantic soakaway.

[Roland99]

16. Doesn't matter. Didn't matter in 2003. War was inevitable and it is again.

[sweetheart]

17. no

This time, a world war, one that will touch american soil harshly by the end.

Whomever goes there, treason... right now... levenworth.

[baldguy]

5. They are not terror groups!

They are Freedom Fighters!

[dipsydoodle]

7. Well I guess

that if there are infact any and they get caught then they'll simply be "enemy combatants without uniforms" and so they'll be locked up in secret in whatever the Iranians call their Gitmo doubtless located next one of their alleged atomic bases. And no one will be any the wiser....... So - best forget the subject.

[Jack Rabbit]

8. Would the junta lie to us?

Wait, don't answer that question.

[Postman]

9. Seymour Hersch has more integrity in his pinky than A-hole McClellan

has in his entire body...........I believe Hersch over anyone in this administration, anyday

[The Magistrate]

10. Once Again, Sir

One wonders who they think is ignorant and foolish enough to believe the lie: there is simply no point to it.

[cassiepriam]

15. Translation: We are in it up to our eyeballs in Iran..... nt
