(AP)  The Bush administration's move to blacklist Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps as a "terrorist" organization is a new salvo in a broader effort to choke off funding to Iranian elements accused of developing nuclear weapons and fomenting violence in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Middle East.

At the same time, it is intended to send a message to countries doing business in Iran that the United States is serious about isolating Tehran and is willing to slap sanctions on companies that continue to trade with Iran even if the United Nations is not, according to U.S. officials.

A decision in principle has been made to name at least parts of the Revolutionary Guard a "specially designated global terrorist" group under an executive order signed by President Bush in 2001 as part of larger post-Sept. 11 measures to fight extremism, the officials said.

Debate continues over whether to designate all or just part of the corps, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the determination, which must be approved by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, is not finalized.

The move will be the first such designation of a foreign government entity and would cut the designees off from the U.S. financial system and freeze assets that it, its members or subsidiaries have in U.S. jurisdictions. It would also allow the Treasury to move against firms subject to U.S. law that transact with the group.

It remains unclear when the step will be formally announced but officials said it has been weighed for months as the United States has lost patience with Iran amid charges the guard corps is supplying weapons to Shiite insurgents in Iraq and the Taliban in Afghanistan and as international efforts to shut down the Iranian nuclear program have bogged down.

The White House and State Department both refused to discuss the matter but officials acknowledged that Washington is working to punish Iran financially in a bid to force it to change objectionable behavior.

"The hope is that you make it much more difficult and raise the cost for them to engage in these kinds of activities to the extent that they recalculate whether or not they want to engage in these activities," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack told reporters.

The designation will mean that Rice has found that the Revolutionary Guard Corps "has committed, or poses a significant risk of committing, acts of terrorism that threaten the security of U.S. nationals or the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States," according to the executive order.

Iran, the country, has been designated a "state sponsor of terrorism" since 1984 by the State Department.

The impending move serves the administration's goal of ratcheting up pressure on Tehran, European and Asian companies with interests in Iran, and the U.N. Security Council, where a new sanctions resolution on the nuclear issue has languished under Chinese and Russian objections.

The news broke on the eve of a three-day Middle East trip by the State Department's third-ranking diplomat, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Nicholas Burns, who has been the point man on Iranian sanctions issues.

Burns is meeting with Israeli officials in Jerusalem on Wednesday to discuss a $30-billion, 10-year U.S. military aid package for the Jewish state and regional security issues, "including the challenge posed by Iran," the department said in a statement on Tuesday.

Israeli concerns about Iran and its nuclear program are well known and the sanctions to be imposed against the Revolutionary Guard, its subsidiaries and business partners will likely be welcomed there.

Yet, the preliminary decision to blacklist the corps comes as the United States and Iran have begun a tentative, if yet unsuccessful, engagement on Iraqi security issues.

The U.S. ambassador in Baghdad, Ryan Crocker, has met twice with his Iranian counterpart in recent months for landmark talks at which the two sides agreed to continue discussions although no progress has been discerned by U.S. officials.

The Guard, which operates outside Iran's conventional army with its own air, naval and land wings, is known to have extensive business interests and investments in Iran, but the extent of its holdings outside the country is not clear.

"The U.S. ambassador in Baghdad, Ryan Crocker, has met twice with his Iranian counterpart in recent months for landmark talks at which the two sides agreed to continue discussions although no progress has been discerned by U.S. officials."

And just how willing are they going to be to return to discussions with this kind of stuff being put over their heads? Not that I agree with Iran, but it seems somewhat counterproductive to the US' diplomatic activities. It seems kind of two-faced to me Bush and Co. If you have evidence they're doing this stuff, put it out there, if not, shut the F up and let diplomacy try.

Iran, Iran, Iran.....so when Iran hits the forefront of talks, it places Iraq and all its woes into the background. The lies, gross mismanagement, and costs are to be forgotten and forgiven.

So Iran should shudder when they are labeled "terrorist". That would, in my opinion, booster their image amongst other "terroist groups" as they would be 'feared' by the big bad US. Such labeling is not effective as a deterrent, but is used as a tool to keep sheepies in focus of supporting the wars.

Great, we'll see attempts to appease the masses by pulling out of Iraq, only to go straight into Iran. Hold on boys, we gotta make another pit stop. Even though the wallet is empty and the walls are crumbling at home. Real, real, frickin' nice!

The clown pound at the Pentagon is working overtime to demonize the Iranians. At antiwar.com there is an article that points out the obvious--US casualties due to the Shia militias are rising because the US is, as announced, increasing their attacks on those militias...not because Iran is sponsoring any kind of 'surge' of its own.

The blatant abuse of the 'terrorist organization' label is bringing this nation closer and closer to the opening of a new front on top of the current two fronts of the Stupid Peoples' War.

antiwar.com also reports that the current 15-months rotations will be continued into next summer for our troops. Soldiers! Its time to tell the brass to kiss your collective a--! Troops Home Now! The enemy is in Washington!

Troops Home Now!!

While we're at it, can we also blacklist those who torture, those who murder civilians, those who bomb civilians, those who kidnap, those who imprison without trial and those who take away our civil liberties as terrorists too?

The world and the United States would be better of without the CIA, the Republicanazis and those corrupt neo-con a$$holes.

I am NOT for regime change in Iran nor for an invasion with regular ground troops; but we have to do SOMETHING to respond to the fact that Iran continues to be the primary funding sponsor of terror around the world in general, and in particular is actively providing assistance through the IRGC Quds Force to kill American soldiers by training terrorists/militiamen and arming them!! Again, I am not for invading Iran; I think if we ever got Iraq right; that would be the death nell for the mullahs since they'd now have (hopefully) a REAL Shiite-led democracy next door; that would hopefully push the reform movement forward in Iran against the mullah-cracy (one major reason why Iran is working so hard to ensure Iraq doesn't succeed as a democracy). The Iranian PEOPLE polls show are overwhelmingly pro-Western and for good relations with the US; so an Iraq-style invasion is just stupid; BUT we KNOW they have IRGC/Quds Force camps in the deserts near the Iraq border; we SHOULD be hitting those before those trained insurgents can get within range of our troops; we should be interdicting supplies on the Iranian side of the border!! Statements like some Senators/Congressmen have made about not "crossing the border" are stupid; Iran isn't adhering to the line in the sand in their efforts to undermine our mission in Iraq and kill our troops; why should we!? Limited force strikes to pre-empt attacks against our troops and mission in Iraq isn't an invasion and is just plain smart.

"U.S. officials have in recent weeks stepped up complaints against the corps, particularly the al-Quds force, which they accuse of supporting insurgents in Iraq."

This is Cheney propaganda trying to push the US into a war with Iran, like that is a good idea!!

Don't believe it!!!!!!

I am not saying that Iran is not giving aid to the Shiites in Iraq, they probably are, BUT they are not the fundamental problem.

Look at the news for the past several months. First Bush says Iran is getting nuclear weapons. That go no where.

Now he is trying to stir up the American people with the idea Iran is behind the violence in Iraq.

In July, it was a-Quida behind the violence. This month it is Iran.

He changes his mind depending on what he wants to propagand to the American people.

DON'T BELIEVE A WORD OF THIS ***!!!!!!!!

"The problem is this administration has no diplomacy."

That the Bush administrations diplomacy has been deficient (to say the least) is fair; on any number of issues with regards to relations with allies, etc.

What I want to know however is what do we have to talk about with the Iranians? What will talking to them do? They want nukes; they were offered a generous econmic package and better relations with us and the West in general; they said "shove it"; we KNOW they're actively working against our interests in Iraq and arming insurgents there - it is vital to their goals of regional hegemony and nuke weapons that we are bloodied and unsuccessful in Iraq such that we won't have to will to oppose them militarily over their nuke program in the near future, and vital to their regime's survival that a real Shiite democracy emerge next door as an example to their generally reform minded population. So they have no incentive to stop undermining our efforts or to stop facilitating the killing of our troops. What do we have to discuss with them diplomatically? Our national security interests and their regional goals are diametrically opposed; they want a middle east dominated by them and fundamentally Islamic; we cannot allow that - what is there to talk about!!?

I'm sure the Rev Guard are shaking in their boots. Everyone knows that the US is impotent against a guerrilla war. Vietnam proved that, Iraq is a further demonstration of same. Maybe this is just ground work so the red team can play the terror card once again in 2008.

Are you KIDDING!? Bush's credibility is low to be sure due to ALL the missteps and spin of the last few years on Iraq; but BOTH are of COURSE involved negatively in Iraq. Al Qaeda has everything to gain by stirring up trouble in Iraq; potential safe havens in the heart of the middle east, a chance to do what they love (kill Americans), chance for a Soviet style "victory" over a superpower that will enhance their prestige and recruiting, the chance to bloody the US so we won't attack their safe havens elsewhere do to a new pacifism resulting from a defeat in Iraq.

And Iran; read my earlier postings; they have EVERY reason to be heavily involved in Iraq - as I state below, their mullahs have no desire for a real Shiite democracy next door; and especially for a victorious US battle force next foor while the central bank of terror is trying to develop nukes and supporting groups like Hezbollah!! That Iran would be involved very heavily in Iraq in fomenting instability, civil strife, and killing our troops is a no-brainer!! Their goals DEPEND on us not being aggressive again with another rogue state, being war weary, and on not having a Shiite democracy that is an ally of US on their western border.

It's amazing how fast Bush and the Southern Fascist have taken this nation down. Our military is exausted and near the breaking point, we can't protect our own homeland and we have no friends to help us out. Can you say FAILURE? Sieg Heil Bush!!

YEAH FOR THE U.S. ALL THE WORLD IS TERRORIST EXCEPT THE U.S. HIMSELF. THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION IS IN THE QUAGMIRE OF IRAQ AND NOW IS WAGING A CONSPIRACY AGAINST IRAN BECAUSE THE U.S. AND BRITAIN IS NOT INVITED TO THE PARTY OF OIL BUSSINESS OF THE RICH REGION. THE LEGAL TIES IN IRAQ POLITICAL AND ECONOMICAL EXPOSES THAT THE U.S. IS SUPPORTING TERRORIST ELEMENTS IN THE REAGION. IF THE U.S. LEAVES THE REGION THERE'LL BE PEACE AND SECURITY. THIS U.S. FASCIST GOVERMENT IS ON THE WAY OF COLLAPSE THIS POLICY OF BLAMING OTHERS FOR THEIR INTEREST IS THE MOST EVIL POLICY OF THE WORLD. THE U.S. HAS TO REALIZE AND ASK HIMSELF HOW THE WORLD SEES IRAN IN THE CONFLICT. WELL I THINK THE WORLD SEES IRAN AS A HONEST COUNTRY WHO'S IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY AND IRAN IS IN THE WRONG PLACE AND THE WRONG TIME ENEMY OF THE U.S. AND BRITAIN GOVERMENT. IRAN IS A INOCENT PUPPET FROM THE EVIL MONSTER INTEREST OF THE UNITED NATIONS. BY THE WAY IT IS NOT THE U.S. INTEREST IS THE INTERNATIONAL BANKERS INTEREST AND WANTS TO SACRIFICE THE UNITED STATES FROM THEIR GREEDY INTEREST.

If and when this happens (today's "news" is that it might), this will be a diplomatic, not a military, move.

Why should the Revolutionary Guard or the al-Quds Brigade or their leaders still have access to US banks and companies or to US-backed financial institutions? This action is overdue and nothing in this action prevents the US and Iran from talking to one another.

We talk to their foreign diplomats not to the Rev. Guard/al Quds. Who knows whether the Iranian government can even control these miltary forces that are, as the article says, separate from the national army.

All evidence I have seen indicates that most of the insurgents in Iraq are supplied by Sunni backed Saudi sources rather than ***** backed Iranian sources.

It doesn't make a lot of sense for Iran to destabilize a country whose current leadership it supports. Iran is ecstatic that the US is investing $1,000,000,000,000 so far to make Iraq ***** and more Iran-friendly.

But, what are we doing with Saudi-Arabia, selling them billions in weapons (along with the Israeli's). By the way 90% of the 9/11 terrorists where from Saudi Arabia as well.

Now, we are trying to drum up a war with Iran. If you were Iran and the US was supplying all your enemies with advanced weapons systems and telling you that you can't build your own weapons systems, what would your response be?

Love is hate, peace is war, your friends are your enemies. George Orwell was off by 20 years.
Otherwise he hit the nail on the head.

I am not disputing what you say; however, like with everything that the administration says - I see not enough proof for me to believe either one. It is easier to believe your analysis because I am basically distrustful of any remark or assertation that the administration makes, particularly since they change their major thesis everytime another horrendous insurgency attack occurs. Additionally, I was so against attacking Iraq and now , I find myself having to again be against an attack on another ME country because the administration is again making charges that I do not know if they are factual or just plain suiting their purposes. I lean towards disbelieving. It just seems to me that this administration fails to learn and continually does things that put our country in jeopardy, that belittle our ethics, and take away any influence, globally, that we cannot buy. I find myself desperately wishing that we had a Congress that was brave, patriotic and for America.

We see the same Terrorist sympathizers on this CBS site, spouting their extreme spin. For the longest time, I thought, "you just don't get it do you?"

Now I know better. These folks aren't terrorist sympathizers at all. They are terrorists, using the internet to drum up support for their cause. They use every headline, every statistic they can to discredit those that keep us safe. Remember the enemy is techno savy.

Judge for yourself. Read what they have to say. Concentrate on one of the below, and see if there is EVER a positive comment made about ANY of our foreign policy, efforts to protect ourselves, or the administration.

mcdazz, Prinzowhales, FeelFree1, tuckerndfw, V_1618, drummer94, j-whitman.

They mask themselves as liberals, but even liberals have a more moderate point of view. Ask yourself, would you agree as strongly about the point of view as they portray ?

Note how often they are on the site. Don't they have a job? Who could afford to do this? Who would WANT to do this, other than a fanatic ?

Don't believe they "support the troops", they know this is a popular aspect of our culture since Vietnam. There see no harm in giving lip service, they don't mean it.

Notice how they make the worst possible scenario out of everything. They play upon your fears, and claim the President is doing so.

Sure, there are a few left wing folks that would be as radical as these, but judge for yourself. Don't be fooled!

There is not one bit of spin on that fact! You can't deal with it. You can't deal with similar facts. So, you create this rationalization that everyone is a terrorist who disagrees with you.

What a joke the Bush administration is. Is this an effort to shift the focus from Iraq? By labeling the revolutionary guard a terrorist organisation dilutes the meaning of the term Terrorist. Similar to my inability to support the "*** offender" label that are also put on kids caught of having *** I can no longer support the fight against terrorism if this is where the US government wants to steer. If that is the case, the US military certainly has done more to qualify it as a terrorist organisation. Has the revolutionary guard invaded any other country under false pretenses, run any other country as an occupying force, managed the resources of another country or facilitated to execute the leader of any other country? Well, the US forces has certainly done its part to qualify with honors. The Bush administration must rethink how they title people, organisations and events. Perhaps take some of the billions of tax dollars and borrowed chinese money they waste to obtain a Websters dictionary for each of the "educated" masses in Washington.

Be carefull with those labels, it may just come back and bite you in the rear. Does TSA mean: Terrorists Saved America?

Just because you say it, doesn't make it so.

Am I reading the same postings as you Prinzowhales ? I see nothing but truth coming from singinrick, no false witness, and no hate - only the truth. You are projecting upon singinrick your problems, terrorist.

I suggest you look at your Muslim neighbor different from now on because he has not been truthful to you. In fact, he/she is a agent of a global Islamic movement that has existed for over a thousand years and is just now coming to fruition with Islamic states becoming on equal footing with the West militarily. The Islamic community has simultaneously grown militarily while it's people infiltrate western communities under the guise of immigration. They like living in America, but are loyal to Allah- ALL OF THEM. Therefore, THEY MUST CHANGE AMERICA. It is their duty. They are the soft- sell salesmen.
I'm sure some j@ck@ss lib will respond to this posting by calling me a xenophobe. He/She is someone that would probably stand in the path of a twister because they thought it was neat to look at. Ahmadinejad stated yesterday that world must live under an Islamic governement. That it was the only way. Be assured, his comments are a call to arms- a call to Muslims world-wide.
I'm not going to be a F$cking muslim. My family is not going to be forced to adhere to that b*llsh!t!!!

I suggest you look at your Muslim neighbor different from now on because he has not been truthful to you. In fact, he/she is a agent of a global Islamic movement that has existed for over a thousand years and is just now coming to fruition with Islamic states becoming on equal footing with the West militarily.

speakingup, Here's a bbc website. Face the truth instead of ignoring it.

You refuse to look at it? Is it a 'cross in front of a vampire' kind of thing?

bizzz--Sounds like someone scared you pretty good. Who was it? If Muslims are so wicked, why is it that Bush and his regime have failed to discover it? Why have they been letting them in the country?

First of all Prinzo, I never said I was a Bush fan. If he left office tomorrow, I could care less. I'd like to see a smarter, more Hawkish President in office. Somebody that can figure out the equation of bringing (some of) our troops home while killing more terrorists.
Secondly, I thinking videos of people getting the heads chopped off probably did it for me. Do people getting their heads chopped off scare you or is that a problem that is too distant for you to worry about?

bizzzz,,, OK, so you're a xenophobe. Not surprising. No, I stay away from tornado's, but I have been in the path of a few hurricanes & typhoons. There is a Christian group in Canadayou could join that also are Muslem haters, they call themselfs Copts. You should feel right at home with them.

Bush is a mad man and neo-cons are so caught up in trying to protect him that they are letting this country go to sh*t!!!! well as soon as a draft is needed to "fight them over there so we won't have to fight them here" i want to see how many neo-cons are willing to sacrifice their son or daughter for the cause, not many i assure you and they're going to claim excemptions for all reasons even to say they're gay this is sure maddness !!!!!

bizzzz-WEll, Kerry was even more hawkish. Was it that Berg beheading extravaganza that got you so worked up?

Did you know he was in US custody in Iraq and then, almost immediately, he is in the hands of 'al Qaeda'. Zarqawi, the master of ceremonies at this farce, was wearing jewelry...that is pretty un-Islamic...and he seemed to have sprouted a brand new leg for the video...there were English voices in the background...the guy is kneeling their while he gets that 'short haircut' without hardly moving...and the blood?--I've been soaked by geysers from femorals--whatever they cut, it wasn't the carotid of a living human being.
