Prelude to an Apocalypse
Well, looks like our President is on the verge of declaring a foreign military a terrorist body. Three guesses whose military it is, and the first two don't count.
The US is preparing to designate Iran's Revolutionary Guards force as a foreign terrorist unit, officials say.
If confirmed, this will be the first time official armed units of a sovereign state are included in the list of banned terrorist groups.
And if that didn't put the fear of God in your stomach...
Speaking at a news conference last week, President George W Bush hinted at a tougher stance against the Revolutionary Guards, accusing them of meddling across the Middle East.
"When we catch you playing a non-constructive role, there will be a price to pay," Mr Bush said.
Not "if we catch you playing a non-constructive role." "When." As if there's no credibility left, and the decision has already been made.
Yes, this is exactly what we need at this time. By all means, George, taunt the dictator. No way we can end up in even more of a clusterfuck!
