US supports terrorist group attacking Iran

ABC is reporting as fact that the US has been encouraging and advising the Baluch terrorists that have been attacking southern Iran. This has been suspected since the attack that killed 11 Iranian Revolutionary Guardsmen in February.

One of the more interesting elements to the story is that, although the US is directly involved with the leadership,
U.S. officials say the U.S. relationship with Jundullah is arranged so that the U.S. provides no funding to the group, which would require an official presidential order or "finding" as well as congressional oversight.

Tribal sources tell ABC News that money for Jundullah is funneled to its youthful leader, Abd el Malik Regi, through Iranian exiles who have connections with European and Gulf states.


I believe they call that deniability.

How much you want to bet that some of the money is coming out of Saudi or Jordan?

(Under the new international standard of pre-emptive war laid out by the United States, is Iranjustified to militarily attack any country that knowingly and at a state level supports these terrorists?)

The CIA denied involvement to ABC.

    No. That would be a violation of the US doctrine of do as I say, not as I do.

  • I certainly left out the key ingredient of exceptionalism.

    I was just trying to make that point.
