Raw Story: U.S. Outsourcing Iran Special Ops to Terror Group

It should be no surprise that current administration (or past ones) would support terrorists who murder U.S. citizens and support "U.S. enemies." Osama bin Laden was a CIA asset despite his anti-western terror, and he's still one of the current administrations leading assets for provoking fear in the U.S. public and channeling that fear into hysterical and hasty action. Using Saudi Arabia as a front, the Reagan/Bush-I administration helped put the Taliban in power to fight the USSR. Under the reign of Bush II, the U.S. deposed the Taliban when the later wouldn't accommodate U.S. petroleum/corporate interests subsequently and presently secured by permanent U.S. military bases in that and neighboring countries. Despite propaganda to the contrary, the U.S. is perfectly content to allow a resurgence of the Taliban and its repression as long as it doesn't interfere with U.S. business. Whatever is expedient to the corporate interest of the moment knows no moral constraint. The U.S. and Britain were for Hitler before they were against Hitler, and would've been for Hitler again had it been expedient. Such back and forth switching has been common place every since.
