Iranian Unit to Be Labeled ‘Terrorist’

The United States has decided to designate Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, the country’s 125,000-strong elite military branch, as a “specially designated global terrorist,” according to U.S. officials, a move that allows Washington to target the group’s business operations and finances.
The Bush administration has chosen to move against the Revolutionary Guard Corps because of what U.S. officials have described as its growing involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as its support for extremists throughout the Middle East, the sources said. The decision follows congressional pressure on the administration to toughen its stance against Tehran, as well as U.S. frustration with the ineffectiveness of U.N. resolutions against Iran’s nuclear program, officials said.
The designation of the Revolutionary Guard will be made under Executive Order 13224, which President Bush signed two weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to obstruct terrorist funding. It authorizes the United States to identify individuals, businesses, charities and extremist groups engaged in terrorist activities. The Revolutionary Guard would be the first national military branch included on the list, U.S. officials said — a highly unusual move because it is part of a government, rather than a typical non-state terrorist organization.
The order allows the United States to block the assets of terrorists and to disrupt operations by foreign businesses that “provide support, services or assistance to, or otherwise associate with, terrorists.”
All I can say is that it’s about damned time. These bastards have been killing our troops in Iraq long enough.

Uh huh, tell us how you really feel.
A lot of what this man says is true. America’s moral decline is well documented and has been perpetrated by a communist/socialist left and media. Read the Communist Manifesto.
Now realize, that those points and policies have or are being adopted by the Republican party as well, then you’ll have to come to the realization that there IS a difference between conservative and neoconservative.
Every bit of this stems from a roughly 50 year shift to the left, by both the R’s and the D’s. Look how the Dems are now openly advocating socialism and look at all the lefty R’s we have now, Bush being one of them. We’re following the Communist Manifesto almost to a tee.
Time to revert back to our conservative roots? You may not believe so, according to this:
8/10/07
Thom. 19%
Giul. 28%
Romn. 12%
McCain 10%
Clint. 40%
Obama 27%
Edwards 11%
Ron Paul Too Low to Matter
Look at those percentages above.
The socialists are all on the same page with Hillary at 40%.
The right is being split between the conservatives and the neoconservatives.
Hillary’s foreign policy in the same neocon foreign policy that Bush advocates, as well as most of the D and R candidates. Hillary voted for the wars and she’s voted to fund them, now she’s trying to pretend that she’s anti-war.
The way things are going, Hillary will be our next President and our 50 year shift to the left will then be on steroids. If one of the ‘R’ front runners happens to beat Hillary which would have to be because of a miracle, then our 50 year shift to the left still continues.
The only way to shift back to the right, (THE REAL RIGHT) is for all conservatives to back a real conservative. Guess who that is?
“making the world safe for Democracy” is the exact same old left policy that got us into the Korean war and the war in Vietnam. It’s a foreign policy of intervention. Remember how, in those days, the right was voted in to end those wars?
Now look at the Project for the New American Century at http://www.newamericancentury.org/
Look at the membership. Those are well known ‘conservatives’. The problem is, they’ve adopted the same leftist policies that the left used to ‘project our influence’ around the world militarily. That’s a leftist policy.
Read the wiki page on the PNAC at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_for_the_New_American_Century and you’ll find the following statements:
“It has exerted strong influence on high-level U.S. government officials in the administration of U.S President George W. Bush and strongly affected the Bush administration’s development of military and foreign policies, especially involving national security.[3][4][5]”
“On January 26, 1998, in the PNAC’s open letter to President Bill Clinton, its members explicitly called for a U.S. ground campaign to oust Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq.[7]”
Starting to see a pattern here?
Hillary did her thesis on Trotsky. Hillary and Bush have the same foreign policy.
My comment is awaiting moderation? I thought you wanted to have reasonable discussion? Now you’re not going to approve my comments?
I know, the truth hurt me 2 years ago, as much as it is hurting you now.
Comments are sent to moderation if they have links because certain people trying to advertise will put multiple links in their comments. They sit there until I log in and approve them. You are aware of this because I have had to approve every post you have made with multiple links in them while those you have posted without links have gone in immediately. You have had other comments that had to wait for approval. Don’t act like this is the first time.
Ahh, I see. Sorry, I wasn’t aware.
