The US Is Paying Terrorists To F***K With Iran??
Where is the outrage? Where is the accountability? Where is Congress?? :grr:

Solution to Iran crisis is to support MEK - Tanter
Friday, 07 April 2006
NCRI - The only way to confront Iran's threats is to support the opposition Mojahedin-e Khalgh (MEK, aka PMOI) and its removal from the terror lists, said Professor Raymond Tanter of Georgetown University and a former White House aide in an interview with Al Jazeera television.

Responding to a question about Iran's threats to block the Strait of Hormuz and endanger the flow of oil out of this vital area, Professor Tanter said: "If Iran tries to close the Strait of Hormuz, it has engaged in an aggressive military act. This is an international waterway and is very much difficult to close it and prevent ships from crossing this narrow waterway."


Professor Tanter added that Iran's intimidations showed that its days are numbered, therefore, the only thing that can stop this regime from executing its threats is the main Iranian opposition, Mojahedin-e Khalgh. This is an important element and must be recognized, said tanter and stressed that the MEK must be removed from the terror list.

The former White House aide noted that there was an increasing effort to recognize this element in Washington.

Professor Tanter also reminded that Iranian regime was politically weak, both in the UN and in the IAEA in Vienna, therefore, it is trying to compensate for this weakness using its military force.

On Cheney, Rumsfeld order, US outsourcing special ops, intelligence to Iraq terror group, intelligence officials say

<snip>

Indeed, Saddam Hussein himself had used the MEK for acts of terror against non-Sunni Muslims and had assigned domestic security detail to the MEK as a way of policing dissent among his own people. It was under the guidance of MEK ‘policing’ that Iraqi citizens who were not Sunni were routinely tortured, attacked and arrested.

Although the specifics of what the MEK is being used for remain unclear, a UN official close to the Security Council explained that the newly renamed MEK soldiers are being run instead of military advance teams, committing acts of violence in hopes of staging an insurgency of the Iranian Sunni population.

“We are already at war,” the UN official told RAW STORY.

Asked how long the MEK agents have been active in the region under the guidance of the US military civilian leadership, the UN official explained that the clandestine war had been going on for roughly a year and included unmanned drones run jointly by several agencies.

4. Hey, if "we" were going to paint some drone aircraft to look like a U.N.
aircraft and fly it over Iraq to get it shot down, so "we" could have "our" war, "we" are certainly capable of trying to provoke Iran.

5. Doesn't surprise me
That would be about on par with our foreign policy over the past 50 years. If you look into it the CIA was fucking with Cuba hoping they'd do something so we could march on in and invade. Lucky for the world Cuba resisted and JFK has some backbone.

6. In Fairness, Ma'am
This group has been at war with the Iranian mullahs since the days of Khomeini. They were, in their origin, a secular left oposition to the Shah, who felt the fundamentalists betrayed the people of Iran and its revolution. Doubtless, like all serious radicals, they are willing to make use of whatever backer is willing to provide them assistance, reserving the right to betray any patron when the time comes they have sufficient power to succeed on their own.

9. Call them "freedom fighters" or "militants" please.
It looks bad to call them terrorists. Please only use terrorists when referring to the enemies of the Bush administration.
