IS THE US FUNDING A COUNTER INSURGENCY IN IRAN? YES. to the tune of $400 mn dollars. Refer to the story by Seymour M. Hersh, Preparing the Battlefield, The Bush Administration steps up its secret moves against Iran, New Yorker, 29/6/08. Bush signed a top secret Presidential Finding in the Fall of 2008. This information was shared with the gang of 8 on capitol hill. Did you notice how quiet they have been about this information. Quiet as a mouse. They can't divulge secrets. I keep wondering why no one in the mass media is not following up on this information.
