Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
The international relations version of "Your momma!"
Iran's parliament voted Saturday to designate the CIA and the U.S. Army as "terrorist organizations," a largely symbolic response to a U.S. Senate resolution seeking a similar designation for Iran's Revolutionary Guards.
The parliament said the Army and the CIA were terrorists because of the atomic bombing of Japan; the use of depleted uranium munitions in the Balkans, Afghanistan and Iraq; support of the killings of Palestinians by Israel; the bombing and killing of Iraqi civilians and the torture of imprisoned terror suspects.
Well, when you put it like that... We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
They left out the American war on Vietnam,Laos and Cambodia featuring Operation Phoenix, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Program and of course probably didn't have time for the other stuff like destabilising elected Governments http://archives.cnn.com/2000/WORLD/americas/09/19/us.cia.chile.ap/ and using proxy forces to do their dirty work on unarmed civilians http://www.namebase.org/scott.html.
Oh yeah, the CIA is soooo funny....

But only for 14-25 year olds. I thought Keegan was still under the cutoff.
Posted by: Clownæsthesiologist at September 30, 2007 07:55 AMSomebody please explain to me the massive propaganda blitz against Iran, that, being reminiscent of the lead-up to war with Iraq, is almost entirely absent of facts of any kind.
Posted by: Jon at October 1, 2007 03:58 AMNo I am not defending theoracy and holocaust denial by criticizing US foreign policy and the lapdog media.
I just can't muster up the bloodlust that would justify killing a few hundred thousand more brown people, sending oil to 200 PB, torpedoing the US Dollar, and placing the hapless US forces in Iraq at point blank range of a massive slaghter by Sadr and militant Shiites
Oh and perhaps risking setting off world war III:
