Bush to Declare Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps a “Terrorist Organization.”
Reported by Marie Therese - August 17, 2007
As we all know, FOX News has been aiding and abetting the Bush administration’s gradually escalating rhetoric regarding the nation of Iran. Viewers are steadily and slowly being “softened up” to accept a unilateral air strike by the U. S. on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Radical Christians with an apocalyptic agenda are allowed to rant on and on without ever telling the audience about their hidden agenda. Inflammatory statements by terrorism experts and former military men, many making money in the security industry, serve to heighten the fear with menacing alarms. In the past few months FOX has uncritically published administration reports about Iranian weapons allegedly used to kill American troops. On Wednesday it was reported that the Bush administration plans to declare the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRCG) a “terrorist” organization, thus setting the stage to freeze all IRGC assets. With video.
During the August 15th edition of Special Report, substitute host Jim Angle discussed the IRGC situation with Fred Barnes, Charles Krauthammer and Nina Easton of Fortune magazine. At the beginning they showed a clip of a man named Alireza Jafarzadeh, a mideast expert they’ve used before. Jafarzadeh has made a nice living beating the drum for war with Iran. As CEO of the Strategic Policy Consulting, Jafarzadeh sounded eerily like Ahmed Chalabi, “Curveball” and other Iraq “experts” who lied us into the war in Iraq.
