Petraeus Orders US Spies To Prepare For Anti-Nuclear Strike On Iran

Teams of American special forces have been authorised to conduct spying missions intended to pave the way for a military strike on Iran in case President Obama orders one, US government sources have confirmed.

The military units would penetrate Iranian territory to reconnoitre potential nuclear targets and make contact with friendly dissident groups, according to a secret directive written by General David Petraeus. The document's existence was disclosed for the first time yesterday.

It authorises an expansion in the use of US special forces throughout the Middle East, US officials said. However, it is the possibility of American troops operating covertly inside Iran that has the greatest potential to destabilise regional security.

If this is for real, someone oughta be shot for reporting it.

The reporter, the editor and the publisher...ALL!

[surfer]

Actually under Obowrama it would be to send in the special forces to assist and teach the Iranians on how to best protect their nuclear facilities...afterall they are just looking for social justice in the nuclear arms world!

If this is for real, someone oughta be shot for reporting it.

...and the leaker. Especially the leaker.

[painter]

the FACT is, that I believe that our CIA is competent and is doing more to protect us against terrorism and/or a nuclear Iran than a buncha keyboard armchair wannabe generals.

I believe that statement when Bush was President, but with this Clown in the Whitehouse who knows.

and you are right about the Mossad.

Obama knows that he has bankrupted the USA, and he believes that he has been appointed to destroy the USA. How much damage that he can do depends on how long he can stay in office. Americans have never been so close to the precipuce before.

Okay, CIA ops, be sure to get those raunchy pictures of Achmadenijad with burqa-clad blowup dolls. Your country is counting on you!

[Terry Mross]

Haven’t you heard? obama is going to tell all of our enemies what our next move will be. It’s the opposite policy of that murderer George Bush.

While I'm all for shooting a few reporters...just to keep the others honest, of course...this is probably SOP for the military. Patton told the story of being deployed to Paris as one of Pershings' staff. He was to dress in civvies, and commence to the dock by back streets and alleys to be sure he wasn't followed. When he got to the docks, boxes labeled "General Pershing, Paris" were being loaded on the ship for all to see.

Bet the ranch that Iran is prepared, and has been for years, for this kind of espionage.

[demshateGod]

As an American, I would have hated living in Iran yesterday. I pray for the safety of them after this report came out.

[fatnotlazy]

Very noble of you, but I would prefer to pray for us instead.

[Rebelbase]

Rabbit trail.

[Jewbacca]

I concur. Iran will be running around looking for spies and shooting people.

It’s all done by satelite and stealth drone.

And yet, I still fear the Lord more than anything else.
