LEDEEN MAKES ANOTHER WHOPPER

In the same NRO article, Mr. Stupid writes "they should have known that Iranian Revolutionary Guards (Shiites) were trained in the early 1970s by Yasser Arafat’s al Fatah (Sunnis). "

ONE PROBLEM:

The Iranian Revolutionary Guards didn't exist in the early 70s:
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or Pasdaran in Farsi, was formed by former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini in the aftermath of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.


Ledeen has a well-documented history of being careless with the facts. Here's just one example.
