Who Are The Terrorists?
Iran’s parliament votes to label CIA, U.S. Army ‘terrorist’ groups
The Iranian parliament on Saturday voted to designate the United States’ Central Intelligence Agency and the U.S. Army as terrorist organizations, IRNA, the country’s state-run news agency, reported.
The CIA and the U.S. Army “trained terrorists and supported terrorism, and they themselves are terrorists,” the parliament said, according to IRNA.
The Iranian parliament said the condemnation was based on “known and accepted” standards of terrorism from international regulations, including the U.N. charter.
The parliament said it condemns the “aggressions by the U.S. Army, particularly in Iraq and Afghanistan” and calls on the United Nations to “intervene in the global problem of U.S. prisons in Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib and secret jails in other countries,” IRNA reported, quoting a statement from Iranian lawmakers.
Hmmm….I don’t remember our Army folks walking into a crowded market, blowing themselves up, do you? Problems in Git’mo? I guess if you consider allowing those enemies of freedom 3 squares, to Muslim specifications of course, and all the trappings, acts of terrorism, ok. Abu Ghraib? Well, there were a few jackasses, true, but that sure doesn’t mean all of the Army is like that.
The Iranian parliament also decried the CIA’s and U.S. Army’s involvement in the 1945 bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II, U.S. involvement in the Balkans, Vietnam and the U.S. support of Israel.
I wasn’t aware the CIA even existed in 1945. Those bombings, as horrible as they were, ended a war that was killing MILLIONS!
Of the condemnation, Paul Gimigliano, a CIA spokesman, said, “There are some things that don’t even deserve comment. This is one.”
I honestly don’t know why the Iranians would think we even care what they think of us. Oh, I’m sure there are some….moonbats extraodinaire…..who will whine and moan, but personally, I don’t give a flying flip.
The Iranian lawmakers’ condemnation was in apparent retaliation for the U.S. Senate’s resolution Wednesday requesting that the United States designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, or Quds Force, as a foreign terrorist organization.
Well, if the bomb belt fits…….
Iran says its nuclear program is necessary for civilian energy production. The United States and other Western nations have accused Tehran of trying to build a nuclear weapon.
Isn’t it odd that before Ahmabooboo was ‘elected’, nuclear energy production wasn’t on the drawing board?

Hmmmmmmmmm…Palestinians are not the same as Iranians.
I know, I know. It’s hard telling them apart because the last five letters are the same.
Gimme a friggin’ break.
Don’t be an ass. Who is providing the ‘insurgents’ in Iraq with weapons, and the means to make weapons? Who is backing the Syrians, who is backing the Hezballa in Lebanon, who are backing the Palestinians?
