Bush wants to brand Iranian army as terrorists?

Apparently (according to MSNBC) the Bush administration wants to call an Iranian Military branch a ‘terrorist’ organization.

Using logic (which the Bush administration doesn’t use mind you), this is scary.

If we are at war on terror
and, the war on terror is against all people we call terrorists
and, if we have labeled the Iranian army as terrorists,
and if being at war with an army means we are against war with a country,
Then… we are at war with Iran.

So calling the Iranian army terrorists is a scary route.

And for some reason I was under the impression that ‘terrorists’ even under the GOP definition, were people that were unaffiliated with a recognized government and military.

This sets a horrid precident as well. We can apparently have ‘military action’ against a ‘terrorist group’ without consent of congress, and now any country’s army can be called a terrorist group.

Can someone explain to me how the CIA are not terrorists too?
