SPECIAL FORCES PREPARE FOR IRAN ATTACK [CIA Already In Country]
UK Evening Standard ^ | June 17, 2003 | Robert Fox

British and American Intelligence and Special Forces have been put on alert for a conflict with Iran within the next 12 months as fears grow that Terhan is building a nuclear weapons program.

Iran has been constructing a nuclear civil power program for some years. It is due to start generating electricity for the national power grid in two years.

However, United Nations, American and European Union experts have become alarmed at the extent of nuclear power plants in Iraq and many are of a sophistication that suggests they are for a weapons program rather than for civil use.

A full report by the International Atomic Energy Authority is due to be published within days. It points at discrepencies in what Iran has officially disclosed about its nuclear facilities.

Already CIA agents are known to have been working inside Iran to establish the full range of the Iranian nuclear program.

The level of foreplay with the Murdering Mullahs of Iran just went up a couple of levels.

The vise grips attached to critical parts just got racheted down again.

FYI.

The level of foreplay with the murdering mullahs has been kicked up a few levels.

The vise grips on special parts have been racheted down a couple of notches.

This and the student protests will make some of the Mullahs consider that sanctuary in Saudi Land.

A government spokesman accused Washington of "blatant interference" in stirring up the student protests against the clerical regime, which have been running for six nights in the capital.

Iranian Ayohtalas (sp) will be wishing that Carter was President before this is over.

The head Islamofacists of the Middle East and Syria/Iran had best stop watching ABCNNBCBS and reading the NY Slimes.

They are getting very bad intel from their buddies in America about what GW, Rummy and our team can do to them.

Iran has been constructing a nuclear civil power program for some years.

In a country that is awash in oil and natural gas, why would Iran need a "civil" nuclear power program if not to produce nuclear weapons grade materials? Rather than risk a lot of our young men and women in another military conflict, I say just nuke their facilities and be done with it.

Im guessing after the nationwide strike July 9, the Mullahs will know that their time is over and we may not have to use the JDAMS.

Bob and I have volunteered to fly over with our heavy duty stud guns and thousands of nail studs to help in the attaching process.

This doesn't even have to be true.......this will plant the seed of doubt(are there Americans here) in the Mullahs minds.....it might give them pause putting down the revolution....and those kids might just pull it off then.

If the Mullahs have to worry about the 600lb. gorilla lurking on it's border that might take resources away from fighting the students.
