SPECIAL FORCES PREPARE FOR IRAN ATTACK [CIA Already In Country]
UK Evening Standard ^ | June 17, 2003 | Robert Fox

Posted on 06/17/2003 7:39:25 AM PDT by ewing

British and American Intelligence and Special Forces have been put on alert for a conflict with Iran within the next 12 months as fears grow that Terhan is building a nuclear weapons program.

Iran has been constructing a nuclear civil power program for some years. It is due to start generating electricity for the national power grid in two years.

However, United Nations, American and European Union experts have become alarmed at the extent of nuclear power plants in Iraq and many are of a sophistication that suggests they are for a weapons program rather than for civil use.

A full report by the International Atomic Energy Authority is due to be published within days. It points at discrepencies in what Iran has officially disclosed about its nuclear facilities.

Already CIA agents are known to have been working inside Iran to establish the full range of the Iranian nuclear program.

I bet a lot of CIA operatives are relishing the thought of coming face to face with the mullahs and saying "We're BAAACK!"

While the Mullahs watch CNN International and think that we are joking the universiy students in Terhan are glued to FOX NEWS with their small quasi legal portable satellite dishes

Small world , isnt it!

It is a small world and communication to and from the outside world from the students and other protestors is critical.

Just think if the students in Tianamen Square had been equipped with Dish Network in 1989 and could see how their actions were playing across the globe.. I believe most Iranians do have small cable dishes now

I'm ready for a Romanian Redux:

That night (December 19th 1989), Ceausescu, back from Iran, addressed the nation on television. Although speaking from the nation's capital, Meda (a computer programmer and organizer) realized the Ceausescus were no longer in control and, more importantly, no longer relevant... Excerpted from Romania: Events In Timisoara Ignite 1989's Bloody Revolution

Ceausescu and his wife were killed on 12/25/1989, less than a week later, freeing the Romanian people from bondage.

Im guessing after the nationwide strike July 9, the Mullahs will know that their time is over and we may not have to use the JDAMS.

Unfortunately, that's not likely. They think they're on a mission from Allah, and they did grind down Iraq (which was a decent-sized deal back in that day). That having been said, they'll fall shockingly quickly once shoved.

This doesn't even have to be true

But it is true. A friend of mine who is with a national security agency had a little too much to drink last weekend and let it slip that about half the mullahs were bought after the Afghanistan success. They field people didn't have to go looking for them, they sought us out because they wanted to get on the ground floor of the winning side. But don't tell anyone, it's supposed to be top secret ;-)

They know that a 1000 pound gorilla is on the ground to the west of them, our troops in Iraq.

They know that a 600 pound gorilla is on the ground to the east of them, our troops in Afghanistan.

They have no idea of much Naval Power is ready to seal off their sea lanes and pound them with Naval Air Power.

Now this probable reality of CIA spooks with boots on Iranian ground is another worry for them.

Can neither confirm nor deny that! :)

The Psyops with both Iran and Syria will be really brutal and have been brutal.

This is really fascinating Foreplay with the Islamofascists thugs in charge of both Iran and Syria.
