Prominent journalist Seymour Hersh exposes details of a plan considered by US Vice President Dick Cheney on how to provoke war with Iran.
"There was a dozen ideas proffered about how to trigger a war [with Iran]," Hersh said recently in reference to the subject of discussion at a meeting held at Cheney's office.
In a July article published in the New Yorker, the Pulitzer Prize winning journalist revealed information about covert US operations carried out in Iran. He did not disclose the content of the talks with Cheney in his article.
In a recent interview with Think Progress, however, Hersh exposed that the meeting witnessed Cheney mulling over a proposal to dress up Navy SEALs as Iranians and shoot them in order to trigger a war with Iran.
"The one (plan) that interested me the most was why don't we build - we in our shipyard - build four or five boats that look like Iranian PT boats. Put Navy SEALs on them with a lot of arms. And next time one of our boats goes to the Strait of Hormuz, start a shoot-up," he revealed in his recent interview...
“Hersh exposed that the meeting witnessed Cheney mulling over a proposal to dress up Navy SEALs as Iranians and shoot them in order to trigger a war with Iran.”
Hersh is now officially insane
LOL..needed a good laugh.
Prominent urinalist Seymour Hush
B*llsh*t.
Me? I think provoking as much green-on-green warfare as possible is a fine idea...
And of course, “we all know” that Pulitzer Prize winning, left-wing authors NEVER make stuff up or exaggerate for effect...
Hersh is making Gore Vidal (and algore for that matter) sound sane and reasonable in comparison.
This guy got this from hitler, that is what hitler did to start his envasion of Poland in 1939. He dressed up prisoners in Polish uniforms and shot them and said they had crossed the border and attacked Germany.
Liberals are all insane and they think we will believe anything. Does this guy have any proof of what he is saying? Nothing? Well isn't that odd.
Hirsch=Hersch; my bad.
I suppose Cheney asked him to keep the top secret plans quiet when they chatted. But, being a journalist, he was compelled by his conscience to let the public know.
Wait'll next week, the second part of their conversation had to do with Roswell and . . .
Hersh has jumped the shark.
Delusional moron vastly over-rated on his best day. Presently an insult to morons everywhere.
Relatives regret the lack of effectiveness in his experimental Alzheimers drug.
Hersh is signalling to his Iranian friends that it's okay for their boats to approach, and even fire on our naval vessels. No matter how aggressive they become, Hersh and his liberal media buddies will provide this cover story that Iran didn't do it, the eevil Bush/Cheney regime did it to us themselves.
that’s not funny, that’s sick...
Must be from the Onion, Coast to Coast AM or Alex Jones.
“The one (plan) that interested me the most was why don’t we build - we in our shipyard - build four or five boats that look like Iranian PT boats. Put Navy SEALs on them with a lot of arms. And next time one of our boats goes to the Strait of Hormuz, start a shoot-up,”
Which person, invited to such a high level meeting, would spill to Seymor Hirsch? It doesn’t pass the laugh test, let alone the smell test.
