May be!

But like I said, it doesn't change the fact that MEK/NCRI/MKO is a terrorist group and we shouldnt work with them at all!

We are NOT cooperating with them.

We are simply NOT killing them.

You're absolutely right: in 2003, we disarmed the MEK and interned their forces in their own camps. These weren't exactly "POW" camps, but neither were the MEK fighters allowed to leave. The compromise we reached with their leaders was that we would leave them alone if they stayed out of the fighting. So far, they've kept their word and we've kept ours.

Remember, just because anti-war activists say something is true, doesn't make it so. And what's this guy's beef, anyway? We neutralized a large militia without firing a shot. Would he rather we fight them in the streets of Mosul and Kirkuk?

"But like I said, it doesn't change the fact that..."

It doesn't change the fact that if people go and look at the anti-American BS on that web-site they will take this whole article with a huge grain of salt. The people who wrote this grossly distort the truth to further their agenda.

For instance, they are pushing the true feelings of our military people...high lighting the anti-war songs written by them. In truth one of the authors of a song your source claims is anti-war was on FR and said it was entirely the opposite...they were just writting silly BS music and they aren't anti-war.

Like I said, before anyone gets too wrapped up with this story they need to take a long hard look at the source site and see how they distort facts and the truth.

The website is left-wing.
But the question remains, was there a an MEK conference in Baghdad, and did U.S. soldiers provide support?

The fact remains that you cannot believe anything that site writes.

Even Hillary sprinkles the truth in with her lies.

LoL

Why should I not believe it?

Just because they are so-called liberal/left wing?

And most people have no problem recognizing that it's all built around a lie.

LOL! There's nothing "so-called" about it. By your value and judgment Michael Moore is a legitimate documentary maker and American historian. In my world he is a lying POS that cannot be trusted to tell the truth.

And what is your point here?

It does not matter who wrote the article or what the article says about US, Iran or MKO.

FACT: US cooperating with terrorists which are condemned by all countries, groups, people... etc

AND QUESTION is WHY?

Whatever the US Government supports, I support.

Such a petty post.

Yep. The author appears to acknowledge their disarmament without comment and then regards a press conference in the Hotel Palestine as "support."

It's been recommended to turn MEK loose in Iran - one claim I read was that they could put 100,000 boots on the ground. We didn't. And we really need to take this sort of story with a tub full of salt.

Only if you do believe Michael Moore is a legitimate documentary maker.

But the point is, no matter how it's used, or what the motive is, there is some truth.

Be aware that these people killed at least ten American senior officers in Iran in 1970s and they helped seized the embassy in Tehran!

It fits his agenda to endorse this article. MEK is the only active Iranian group fighting the mullahs. Bush has repeatedly called on the "freedom loving" iranians to stand up. Until they do MEK is the only game in town.

Yep, same with Michael Moore's BS 9/11 movie.
