But Americans, and indeed much of the rest of the world, continue to be lulled into a false sense of complacency by the fact that overt conventional military operations have not yet commenced between the United States and Iran.
As such, many hold out the false hope that an extension of the current insanity in Iraq can be postponed or prevented in the case of Iran. But this is a fool's dream.
The reality is that the US war with Iran has already begun. As we speak, American over flights of Iranian soil are taking place, using pilotless drones and other, more sophisticated, capabilities.
The violation of a sovereign nation's airspace is an act of war in and of itself. But the war with Iran has gone far beyond the intelligence-gathering phase.
President Bush has taken advantage of the sweeping powers granted to him in the aftermath of 11 September 2001, to wage a global war against terror and to initiate several covert offensive operations inside Iran.
The most visible of these is the CIA-backed actions recently undertaken by the Mujahadeen el-Khalq, or MEK, an Iranian opposition group, once run by Saddam Hussein's dreaded intelligence services, but now working exclusively for the CIA's Directorate of Operations.

who is "Aljazeer.nut"?
This guy's "turn" is amongst the most obvious and blatant of which I am aware in history.
What is the history here. Why did he turn traitor?
Scott needs a new job with Saddam in jail. I look for a pro Syrian article soon.
I am ashamed to know he was a Marine
He openly called Saddam a liar, then all of a sudden, comes out a liberal??
Something is quite wrong, and if this idiot doesn't see why attacking Iran is necessary unless Iran has another revolution, then he is stupider than we can see.
Then, after another stay in Iraq, he came home preaching a 180 degree opposite. About that time it was learned that he had likings for very young girls too. My guess is that his perversions were fed in Iraq and filmed and now he is bought and paid for.
I don't know that...but something went very amiss and he's been a cheerleader for the enemies of this nation ever since.
"My guess is that his perversions were fed in Iraq and filmed and now he is bought and paid for."
I think you called it spot on.
Ritter is more correct than he knows. Our war with Iran began in 1979. They started it. The very same people who did so (or their survivors) are in government in that country today. They remain hostile, violent, and intent on forming a new Caliphate by force even as their country unravels around them.
It was something to do when he wasn't soliciting underage girls over the Internet.
I once thought Saddam had simply bought Ritter's loyalty. But now that we know Ritter is a pedophile, I believe Saddam has photos of Ritter doing the things pedophiles do and has black mailed him.
Scott Ritter, he's that pedophile critter..
I think there should be a ban on posting anything Ritter has to say.
Ritter is a reprehensible human being, and his latest sellout of the U.S. only proves it.
Hi Jeff, I have to come back to your "now he is bought and paid for" line. The question begs, bought by whom? Saddam or the left?
It's pretty much the same these days. But I believe by elements of Saddam's regime who still have the goods on him and have probably set it up such that they always will.
Scott Ritter, isnt he the guy that said we would start bombing Iran on July 17 or something like that.
Where does he live? Is he still in the states?
Well, months ago Ritter predicted the US would go to war with Iran in June. He specifically said Bush would attack Iran in the month of June. It didn't happen. Now Ritter is out trying to pretend he was right, and that America is attacking Iran.
This is just a case of Ritter making a stupid prediction which turned out to be completely off the mark. Now he is trying to pretend he still has credibility by alluding to conspiracies and making up fairy tales.
Scott Ritter: Moonbat, supporter of tyrannical dictatorships, pedophile, hero of the left
Longbow
And the Marines at the Embassy in 79 were told to just turn it over. Definitely a Carter move.
Why isn't this nut in jail????
