News Flash: War With Iran Likely


For those of you who believe that any operation at this stage of the game is a dead deal, be forewarned, you’re wrong.

At least, if you accept the arguments presented by Seymour Hersh in the latest issue of the New Yorker.

Hersh explains that the Special Operations Command, our most elite special forces, taking orders from the president, is already, and has been, conducting operations against Iran to destabilize the country.

These and other operations involving agents and special forces are taking place in Iran with the mission to discover as much as possible about the Iranian nuclear program. They are even talking about kidnapping Iranian scientists.

Hersh says that he has it on good authority that forays into Iran are being made from other countries and involving troops from Afghanistan and bordering countries.

According to Hersh this has been going on for quite some time and was the reason Admiral Fallon, who objected to such tactics, was fired from his position as head of CentCom.

Moreover, Hersh points out that everything is primed and ready to go, the submarines, the cruisers, the aircraft carriers, the missiles and the carrier based pilots along with other assets.

It seems that it is Bush’s intent to increase critical mass until there is an explosion which will destabilize the country and result in not only another war, but another win for Republicans who will support the War under McCain.

It is a cynical view but predicated on what we know, all too credible and it is time now for the Democratic Congress, the media and the people of this country to tie Bush’s hands before he can go any further in bringing about the Armageddon that he desperately seems to want.
