When the question relates to why the US does anything that it does miltarily, there is one issue that cannot be ignored. I did a "find on this page" IE explorer search for the word "Israel" in Raimondo's article, and there is not a single hit. Therefore, I didn't even bother reading the article. It must be useless. The reason why we are in Afghanistan? To destabilize Pakistan for our Israeli masters:

"What evidence is there of this? "

From a National Post article:
“In 1979, the MEK announced that, ‘After the Shah, it's America's turn.’ And that same day, MEK members took part in the storming of the U.S. embassy in Tehran. U.S. hostages were held captive, with MEK help, for 444 days”: Reprinted here:

In a background paper for UN speech to be given by Bush, the White house said this:

“Iraq shelters terrorist groups including the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO), which has used terrorist violence against Iran and in the 1970s was responsible for killing several U.S. military personnel and U.S. civilians.”:

Funny how Iraq was evil to shelter them, but it was OK for the US to do so.

Even Front Page magazine acknowledges that the MEK was part of the hostage affair:

“MEK members actively took part in the 1979 seizure of the U.S. embassy in Tehran, according to a U.S. government report.”

Maybe that's a crappy source, huh. How about this one?:

(continued from above)
From the report:

“MEK perpetrated bombings and assassinations, after the aborted maiden effort in 1971, resumed in 1972. The organization’s targets included US military advisors stationed in Iran. For example, the MEK claimed responsibility for the assassination of US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Lewis Hawkins in 1973, the assassination of US Air Force Colonel Paul Schaeffer in 1975, and the assassination of US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Jack Turner, also in 1975. The MEK also targeted US civilians associated with defense projects (five killed in 1976)…the MEK was also intimately involved in the takeover of the American Embassy in Tehran in 1979. Eyewitnesses and MEK documents indicate that the MEK led the assault on the Embassy and then pleaded with Khomeini not to engage in dialogue with the United States government, nor release the American hostages seized during the action. In fact, Congressional testimony indicates that Rajavi insisted to Khomeini that there was much more to gain by holding the hostages than by releasing them."

"What evidence is there of this?"

Do you know a guy named John McCain? At his request, the FBI wrote a report on the MEK which was given to the 103rd Congress (Go to thomas.gov/ , click on Congressional Record, then on 103rd Congress, and search “MEK”. Results = “Supporting the Right Opposition Groups in Iran and Iraq”) The following (in the next post) is from that report.

The NCRI is the same thing as the MEK, nitwit:

fas.org/irp/world/para/mek-usca070904.pdf

That's like OBL saying that he is not a terrorist. The NCRI is a front for the MEK, and they are listed as a terrorist group as well.

Also, from the Economist magazine:
“A front for the Mujahideen, the National Council of Resistance of Iran…”

I looked up your "eradicate" quote in Lexis Nexis. The article was about an SLA soldier that was killed in the Jezzine region, and also that Elias Asmar and the body of Naji Kenaan would be handed over to the International Committee of the Red Cross by Hezbollah. Lexis Nexis includes Lebanese papers such as the Daily Star. Dozens of papers and wire services covered the above incident, but only one source had your quote, or anything from Nasrallah. That source was a Jewish newspaper quoting the "Lebanese press". Can you find anything real?
