To the surprise of no one, it has been 'revealed' that Bush has authorized special black-ops missions in order to destabilize Iran. Actually, it may be a surprise to Joe Six-pack and his neighbors as they have this naive impression of their government's benevolent nature being the flag bearer of all things civilized.
But fear not my fellow peace-loving Americans, the great Empire has classified this plot as non-lethal according to the report:
The "nonlethal" aspect of the presidential finding means CIA officers may not use deadly force in carrying out the secret operations against Iran.
And the fun doesn't stop there...
The comments section in the linked report features an entertaining effort by a group of right-wingers charging ABCnews (and their reporter Brian Ross) with treason by letting the Iranians in on this 'covert' plan. Are you kidding me? No really, you have got to be joking! Oh sure, Iranian intelligence is not upto par with the highly vaunted, strikingly accurate US intelligence community, but I doubt they're reading ABCnews to learn about covert actions going on in their backyard.
I especially liked this gem found in one of the comments:
I consider ABC News Traders to the United States
Having gotten a glimpse into the mindset (and spelling skills) of these jokers, I'm beginning to understand how Bush got re-elected.
On a more serious note, we should open our collective eyes and connect the dots about the reality of our government's annoying addiction to causing chaos. There is a dark history of government-sponsored acts of terrorism and it continues to this day in Iraq, Afghanistan, and now Iran (and countless other places not featured in the nightly news). As much as I'm appalled by the erroneous way of many Muslim extremists who have committed horrible acts in the name of Islam, I am not about to give a free pass to the subversive tactics of the Great Occupier and its British sidekick in their war on terrorism.
Lets not forget about their willingness to bomb their own people in hopes of stirring up anti-Castro sentiments or the mysterious British undercover officers caught driving a booby-trapped car in Basra. The list goes on.
That's why I seriously doubt the daily reports coming out of Iraq where all the violence is so neatly packaged as Sunni-Shia violence. Is it really beneath the occupying forces to sabotage the stability of the country in order to blame the mess on sectarian clashes or outside-terrorists, thereby washing their hands of the blood they spilled?
Such a blame game would be too convenient.

This article is unsurprising. It merely articulates what a lot of Muslims already suspected.
They plan and they plan, but Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) is the best of planners.
A lot of the Sunni-Shia fighting in Iraq, in my opinion, isn't about real theological differences, but a power struggle that is the fruit of the anarchy of the US illegal occupation of Iraq. The US is directly responsible for all of these deaths and it must end its occupation of Iraq.
