Iran To U.S.: No, You're The Terrorists

After U.S. Senate Calls Iran's Military Terrorist Org., Parliament Calls CIA, U.S. Army Terrorists

(AP)  Iran's parliament on Saturday approved a nonbinding resolution labeling the CIA and the U.S. Army "terrorist organizations," in apparent response to a Senate resolution seeking to give a similar designation to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

The hard-line dominated parliament cited U.S. involvement in dropping nuclear bombs in Japan in World War II; using depleted uranium munitions in the Balkans, Afghanistan and Iraq; supporting the killings of Palestinians by Israel; bombing and killing Iraqi civilians; and torturing terror suspects in prisons.

"The aggressor U.S. Army and the Central Intelligence Agency are terrorists and also nurture terror," said a statement by the 215 lawmakers who signed the resolution at an open session of the Iranian parliament. The session was broadcast live on state-run radio.

The resolution, which is seen as a diplomatic offensive against the U.S., urges Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government to treat the two as terrorist organizations. It also paves the way for the resolution to become legislation that - if ratified by the country's hardline constitutional watchdog - would become law. The government is expected to wait for U.S. reaction before making its decision.

On Wednesday, the Senate voted 76-22 in favor of a resolution urging the State Department to designate Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization. While the proposal attracted overwhelming bipartisan support, a small group of Democrats said they feared labeling the state-sponsored organization a terrorist group could be interpreted as a congressional authorization of military force against Iran.

The Bush administration had already been considering whether to blacklist an elite unit within the Revolutionary Guard, subjecting part of the vast military operation to financial sanctions.

The U.S. legislative push came a day after Ahmadinejad told world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly that his country would defy attempts to impose new sanctions by "arrogant powers" seeking to curb its nuclear program, accusing them of lying and imposing illegal penalties on his country.

He said the nuclear issue was now "closed" as a political issue and Iran would pursue the monitoring of its nuclear program "through its appropriate legal path," the International Atomic Energy Agency, which is the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog.

Tensions between the U.S. and Iran have escalated over Washington's accusations that Iran is secretly trying to develop nuclear weapons and has been supplying Shiite militias in Iraq with deadly weapons used to kill U.S. troops. Iran denies both of the allegations.

In light of the continued bitter opposition by the only government on earth that refuses to have talks with the United States, there is no realistic prospect that a U.S. initiative would improve relations with Islamic Iran. Rather than keep butting heads against a brick wall, Washington is better advised to seek ways to go around the wall -- which in this case means going around the Islamic Republic to reach the people of Iran. Two examples of what this might entail would be: (1) more broadcasting to Iran by putting into effect the "Radio Free Iran" proposal mooted in Washington by Senator Alfonse D''Amato (Republican of New York); and (2) statements by high-level officials not about the permanency of the Islamic Republic but the common interests between the Iranian and American peoples, interests undermined by a regime in Tehran that sacrifices national interests for radical ideological goals.

Our Prophet commanded us to fight the kaafirs when we are able and to attack them in their homelands and to give them three choices before we enter their lands: either they become Muslim and be like us, sharing our rights and duties; or they pay the jizyah (poll tax) and feel themselves subdued; or they fight, in which case their wealth, women, children and homes become permissible as booty for the Muslims.

But then in 2000, well before his arrest, something happened which would make Abas question everything he believed in: a fatwa, a religious edict, was issued by Osama bin Laden.

"It should be understood that killing Americans and Jews anywhere found are the highest act of worship and the highest form of good deeds in the eyes of Allah," Simon quotes bin Laden.

Abas and his fellow commanders were ordered to read the fatwa to their men and make sure they carried it out. The others obeyed, but Abas refused. It was his moment of truth. He firmly believed that jihad was to be fought only on the battlefield in defense of Islam; he had always been taught that the killing of civilians had nothing to do with holy war and that it was forbidden.

The fatwa justified killing non-Muslim civilians everywhere.

it is fascist nazi terrorislam stupid,,,

non muslims of the world unite,,, fight against the tyranny of the fascist nazi terrorslam imperialist empire of the darkside,,,

I was a fanatic...I know their thinking, says former radical Islamist
By blaming the Government for our actions, those who pushed this "Blair''s bombs" line did our propaganda work for us.
More important, they also helped to draw away any critical examination from the real engine of our violence: Islamic theology.

J, sorry but the boss had an errand for me....... take her to supper.

I am afraid we will not really have a choice in 2008 - again.

There are two superpowers (Demos and Repubs) and they have carved up the future to ensure their hegemony. And, inside those superpowers are dynasties. We should not put up with that, ya know?

I will read up on Duncan Hunter (just checked his website). I am pretty sure we will not get to vote for him in the final election. Probably Hillary and either Fred or Rudy.

Two of them have never had a real management job and one of them had one but carries a lot of baggage (Rudy) from his NYC lifestyle.

Not happy about politics these days. Hoping for a successful end to the war and a refocusing of America on domestic needs.

[j-whitman]

donbl1,, Yep, we agree. Now we have to be a hell of a lot smarter than the last 2 elections if we want someone who''s got high ethics, vision, leadership and wisdom. ------ Want to know about Duncan Hunter ? I have 1st hand experiance with him... We can eliminate Rudy right off the bat, Romney lacks both experiance & ethics, Fred should have stayed with acting. ---- Either way the GOP admits this election is going to the Dems.

[donbl1]

J,

This coming election we will probably not have a veteran to choose from. Of the winner, I am hoping for high ethics, vision, leadership and wisdom. I may be asking too much.

[j-whitman]

donbl1,,, I''m not knocking the Guard, I tried to get into it also, you had to have a minimum of 2 years of college & there was a 2 year waiting list...
... Clinton never lied about his deferrment, he was straigt up about it, nor did he slam veterans & attack Viet Nam Hero''s or call other Americans un-patriotic, as both Bush & Cheney did very violently, dishonestly, and extremely dishonorably.

[donbl1]

J, Bush''s deficiencies are in management style, vision and leadership.

All three are absolutes to the job and he has show unwarranted loyalty to failures and his vision has been clouded by fundamentalism. Lastly, he has not had the ability to ralley the country through personal presence which has made the country cynical and unfocused at a time when we really do have a threat.

[donbl1]

Klifton,

Clinton is probably not a good example. (there are others) Enron, Worldcom, Healthsouth etc plus taking the country through his own "open marriage" were enough. The Clinton SEC''s "anything goes" mentality cost a lot of people like you and me a lot of money in the bubble burst of 2000. We deserved better.

[klifton2-2009]

The point has never been whether Bush or Clinton answered the call to defend their country that made them good or bad president. The issue is Clinton seemed to know his place and was not a chicken hawk, unlike Bush with his "bring them on" $bull ***$ that seems so ready to sacrifice other people lives while he creatively avoided his duty through political connections to defend his country that he professes to love so much! That''s why the man is a phony.

[donbl1]

J, Bush''s deficiencies are in other areas. I actually think the National Guard thing is a non-starter. Lots of my friends went into the Guard and some went to Vietnam and some didn''t. I never held it against them even though I was in.....Vietnam was worst than Iraq by far.

In those days, getting into the Guard was difficult and you had to "know" someone. Your odds of going to Vietnam were still about 50/50.

The only thing better than the Guard to escape Vietnam was a deferment like Clinton and Cheney.

[j-whitman]

donbl1,,, Come on man, why are you sticking up for the coward ??? He''s afraid to ride a dam horse, he sure wouldn''t pilot a jet...... The Guard never would have qualified him..
... His entire record was scrubbed, even the dude who got him into the Guard said he regretted that decision.

[donbl1]

J, read below.

He did fly and the flight physical he did not take was in Alabama where he transferred legally to help the election of a friend...... probably should have handled that better but his politician days are over.

Read below

[j-whitman]

donbl1,,, No bro, Bush never got into a fighter, he not only didn''t make the grades, he never showed up for his flight physical..... The rules at that time, he would have immediatly been transfered to active duty & Viet Nam

[donbl1]

"George W. Bush''s military service began in 1968 when he enlisted in the Texas Air National Guard after graduating with a bachelor''s degree in history from Yale University. The aircraft he was ultimately trained to fly was the F-102 Delta Dagger, popularly known as "the Deuce." The F-102 may have been old but was far from useless, and it continued to serve in large numbers with both Air Force and Air National Guard units well into the 1970s. Furthermore, the F-102 was deployed to Vietnam throughout most of the conflict, and the aircraft proved its value early by deterring North Vietnamese pilots from crossing the border to attack the South. Perhaps more importantly, the F-102 and its Air National Guard pilots performed a vital role in defending the continental United States from nuclear attack." from an F102 pilot web page.......

[donbl1]

F102''s (typo)

[donbl1]

J, Bush did serve in the Guard in F100''s which did not deploy often but did sometimes deploy to Vietnam.

Clinton did not serve at all........

What do we do this year? Vote no unless we have a veteran?

[j-whitman]

BaghdadsHere,,, You think when Palestinians kill Isrealites it''s not out of self defense ??
