That's very old news and was exposed as bunk perpetuated by traitorous have-beens. The mullahs and their puppets broadcast the same myths.

The senior commanders also warned that any attack could have "serious economic, political, and military consequences for the United States," the article says, citing unidentified U.S. military officials.

Right I am suppose to believe that in their spare time US Generals are offering advice on the economy and politics? Some falsehoods are just so transparent no matter how high sounding the cited unidentified sources are.

I know it's old news but who exposed it as bunk? I'd like to know.

If real military leaders feel this way, why would they tell this reporter? It would seem like this would be classified.

But what the hell . Nothing is classified any more

If Seymour Hersh wrote it you can figure it's half made up and the other half is his leftest opinion.

Seymor Hersch is trying to run the government again through lies and deception.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting I know that Sy Hersy is a liar, and a leftist psychopath, but I do believe that we have more than a few of these chamberlain appeasement types wearing military uniforms over at the Pentagon.

According to an earlier rash of anti-American, pro-Islamist opinion, that trash came from The New Yorker in January of 2005.

Well, since Seymour Hersh's security clearance clears him to view and discuss exactly JACK SQUAT about our military planning, this rubbish can be dismissed out of hand. We all know he's another thumb sucking liberal fabricating 'anonynous' sources in an effort to weaken the US response to islamic barbarity.

Here's a copy with a link to the original. IMO, we don't need pro-terrorist, anti-American propaganda here.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

January 17, 2005


Statement from Pentagon Spokesman Lawrence DiRita on Latest Seymour Hersh Article

            The Iranian regime’s apparent nuclear ambitions and its demonstrated support for terrorist organizations is a global challenge that deserves much more serious treatment than Seymour Hersh provides in the New Yorker article titled “The Coming Wars.” 

 

            Mr. Hersh’s article is so riddled with errors of fundamental fact that the credibility of his entire piece is destroyed.  

 

            Mr. Hersh’s source(s) feed him with rumor, innuendo, and assertions about meetings that never happened, programs that do not exist, and statements by officials that were never made.

 

            A sampling from this article alone includes:

 

 

 

 

 

            By his own admission, Mr. Hersh evidently is working on an “alternative history” novel.  He is well along in that work, given the high quality of “alternative present” that he has developed in several recent articles.

 

            Mr. Hersh’s preference for single, anonymous, unofficial sources for his most fantastic claims makes it difficult to parse his discussion of Defense Department operations. 

 

            Finally, the views and policies Mr. Hersh ascribes to Secretary Rumsfeld, Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz, Under Secretary Feith, and other Department of Defense officials do not reflect their public or private comments or administration policy.

See BS?

Right.

We can pound the same targets indefinitely. Take satellite images... then make the rubble bounce if necessary.

If these "commanders" are that clueless, we need to replace them with real warriors.

Get rid of all the Clinton Fruit officers!

This is drive by media rubbish. The Iran régime must be taken out before they provoke WWIII. If we do not, Israel, being on the front lines - will.

Mullah hunter!

Actually, it's Iranian agent rubbish (the "we're with the Shah, and we're not very religious" kind).

And see the info from our US DoD in my comment #15, if you have a moment. It's a good copy-and-paste item for rebutting the Hersh canards, which stories are often scooped-up and used by enemies (foreign and domestic).
