Press Release on Hersh's story:
http://www.newyorker.com/press/content/
"... this as a huge war zone. Next, we're going to have the Iranian campaign "
Hirsch finds out about this a year of more after they have been started. Good Deal, Big Mouth would have dropped a dime on us sooner if he could. Loose Lips Sink Ships and kill our soldiers!!
I hope the snake eaters are running around inside Syria, too.
They won't know what hit them.
I really dislike the MSM.
One would hope we are doing this, and not just in Iran. Still, any 'consultant' on a government contract that talked to Hersh about this should go to prison, unless it is sheer speculation on the consultant's part.
Hersh quotes one government consultant with close ties to the Pentagon (news - web sites) as saying, "The civilians in the Pentagon want to go into Iran and destroy as much of the military infrastructure as possible."
Then again, this could simply be disinformation / psyops. A lot of chatter about Syria, Iran being targets, may make them make mistakes, keep them off balance.
We could clean up Iraq quite a bit if we just let it be known that every weapon (AK47, Gernade Launcher, IED, etc) we capture in Iraq, we will simply smuggle back across the border into Iran or Syria to their opposition folks. :)
Here comes the disgraced, fired CIA clowns that Goss unloaded.
Can't call Sy Hersch a traitor. A traitor is somebody who switches sides to betray their country. Sy has always been on one side.
The neo-cons are at it again.
Iran recon ping. saw your earlier post.
I'd be shocked if it weren't so
And the Iranians are conducting not so secret operations in Iraq on US troops, and in the news, everyday. Since when is this news? Whom did we think we were really fighting, Tamerlane?
I am really sick and tired of unidentified sources leaking information to the press. Every bit of information leaked by these traitors put our operatives and military in danger. These so called sources are nothing less than traitors.
I just watched part of Wolf Blitzer's interview of Seymoour Hersh on CNN's Late Edition about Hersh's New Yorker magazine article published today...
..And Hersh believes, it seems, that there is a sinister method to Bush's madness in characterizing these various operations as primary military rather than intelligence: it will allow him to circumvent legal restrictions imposed on the CIA's covert actions overseas...
So far, it appears that the White House is denying the factual accuracy...
They should, regardless of whether it's true or not, if our national security interests are to mean anything...
Can you imagine the kind of journalistic ethic we are operating under that would celebrate, rather than condemn, the type of report that Hersh has just belched forth?
Hersh's report -- true or not -- is shameful and disgraceful and people should call him to the carpet for it. I suppose we'll see the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, and other MSM dinosaurs railing against this over the next few days. It's time that the New Media jumped all over this and called into question Hersh, the Old Media and their unpatriotic reporting here.
