The Current US-Iran Proxy War
Once again, Seymour Hersh produced an incredibly illuminating article on some of the secretive foreign policy the current administration has us engaged in. It really paints Iraq as a staging ground for a proxy war between us and Iran. Iran funds our enemies in Iraq and sends in troops to kill our soldiers. Meanwhile, we use the CIA and JSOC to destabilize the government and increase violence. So the question isn’t about when we’re going to attack Iran, it’s if and when they’ll choose to make it public.
Another depressing thing is the current crop of politicians still have not learned from our past mistakes. The dissidents and thugs they’re working with in Iran, like the MEK and PJAK, are of the same breed as those who they helped train and arm in 1980’s Afghanistan, only to have the guns pointed back at us on 9/11.
Another good point made in the article is that the Democrat-controlled Congress has known all about these activities and are happy to willingly play along. But it’s not just their egregious lack of objection. As they let these disgusting deeds go forth, both houses of Congress are silently pushing forward bills with inflammatory language to start the framework for the Iran War. Both bills have plenty of Democrat cosponsors. Make no mistake. This is the same “anti-war” Democrat party that voted for Afghanistan’s and Iraq’s invasion, and has publicly advocated bombing Iran.
