Who's president now...oh wait Barry the worthless. The Iranians have been running weapons and fighters into Iran almost at the outset of the Iraq war. Yeah I'm pretty sure the CIA has been operating against them inside Iran. However, as early as 05 Bush and company understood that while they misght stop or disrupt the Iranian war effort, they couldn't knock over the gov with the players on the ground in Iran. They were all different small groups of nutbags and we're trying to get out of the nutbag business. The only way for Iran to go was what we're seeing now. Barry did his usual um and oh bullshit but gor around to a statement eventually. If the CIA is going to play, they'll do it by backing the students and the young and only if they ask for it. The other guy who's against the smurf is just another jihadi nutbag.
