There are plenty of oppressed, angry and armed (or armable) minorities in Iran, and just about any other country that would threaten us. Maybe we'll start by distributing radios and satellite dishes, and hosting websites, and funding dissidents, but maybe we'll go straight to passing out the M-16s, targeting intel and signing up the natives for Special Ops run insurgency school.
Time to teach the enemy, or at least one or two thoughtfully selected enemies, that we can go “asymmetric” right back at ‘em. (Loads cheaper too.)
Covert means “SHHH”! Unfortunately that’s gone...now I guess we’re gonna just have to announce that Saddam’s weapons of Mass Destruction were found and destroyed inside Iranian borders. Due to the sensitive nature, no further details will be reported!
