. . . Not only would a covert op like that be distinctly
un-Hopenchange-y, but what do we gain from picking off a few Guard
commanders? It does nothing to solve the nuclear problem and
antagonizes Iran at a moment when Obama’s trying to get them to come to
the table. Plus, given America’s track record
with supporting the mujahedeen against a common enemy, if U.S. support
for Jundullah were somehow proven, it’d be a PR nightmare for The One.
Too many costs, too few benefits. Exit question: Will Iran use this as
a pretext to walk away from nuke negotiations?
