State Department Discovers Iran Supports Terrorism

The State Department has officially taken notice of ties between Iranian theocrats and Palestinian terrorists:

The United States was concerned over Iran possessing nuclear weapons as it had "links with terrorist groups," Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice said. "Whenever you have nuclear weapons in the hands of a state that is irresponsible when it comes to terrorism, that is certainly a concern," Rice told CNN. "The Iranians have plenty of terrorist friends. They've supplied terrorist groups within the Palestinian territories. They are, to our classification, a state sponsor of terror," she said.

Which begs the question of why the State Department is pressuring Israel to ease up on Palestinian terrorists - by giving them weapons and, like, not killing them. And we're sure that if asked that question, the US State Department would issue their usual formalistic, unpersuasive lines about Israel needing to consider the day after - because "we're a structurally anti-Israel organization dominated in the middle by life-long Arabists who skew reports and opinions for Secretaries while subtly intimidating new personnel to accept our ideology" just doesn't roll off the tongue the way one might like.
