Secret Bush “Finding” Widens War on Iran

Posted by Charlie Kilo on May 2nd, 2008

Bush’s new foreign policy: The enemy of Iran is my friend even though they would normally be my enemy. Do you think Bush has ever read a history book? These things never turn out good:

Six weeks ago, President Bush signed a secret finding authorizing a covert offensive against the Iranian regime that, according to those familiar with its contents, “unprecedented in its scope.”

Bush’s secret directive covers actions across a huge geographic area – from Lebanon to Afghanistan – but is also far more sweeping in the type of actions permitted under its guidelines – up to and including the assassination of targeted officials.  This widened scope clears the way, for example, for full support for the military arm of Mujahedin-e Khalq, the cultish Iranian opposition group, despite its enduring position on the State Department’s list of terrorist groups.
