I want to know who is leaking this information?????
I don't know, but I think they should have a couple of square feet of skin removed before they are rolled in salt. (No anesthetic). If this is true, they have really increased the teams' risk.
Ping!
"If this is true, they have really increased the teams' risk."
I was thinking the same thing. That's one of the prices we pay for freedom of the press. But I'm sure fired up about the thought of liberating Iran from those millionaire mullahs! Yeah, baby!
These leaks are not funny and go way beyond partisan politics .. they are putting lives in danger
Yes!
"The Bush administration is looking at this as a huge war zone.
We couldn't have defeated Germany just by going into the Rhine. We have to tame the entire region.
I question the validity of this "leak"
Its more likely to be either a total fabrication, or a piece of mis-information indented to send a message to the Iranians "we are watching"
Or misinformation........
If there are teams right now in Iran, and these idiots are flapping their gums about it, am I alone in wishing they were prosecuted for treason?
possible .. but this reporting is coming from Hersh
He is a slimey SOB for the left
If it's a genuine story, I'd like to know what the hell the New Yorker gang thinks they're doing revealing it.
"We couldn't have defeated Germany just by going into the Rhine. We have to tame the entire region."
The Iranian military is divided. The old Iranian Republican Guard is still loyal to the Shah. And a large number of the soldiers loyal to the mullahs are mercenaries from outside Iran. Even some of the police in Iran speak languages different than the locals they are policing.
In short, the mullahs don't trust their own people to be loyal. Why would that be?
"And yet I have had this thought today that this is disinformation..."
There have also been Debka [the longshot paper] rumblings about Syria. One could be a red herring for the other, perhaps. I've thought of another machination I will not post.
I'm hoping it's a sting operation to ferret out some of the leftist remnants in the CIA, Pentagon, and the State Department. Judging from the descriptions of the sources, though, they sound like they are way off on the fringe of things, i.e. not in the position to know if there are SF in Iran or not.
"This is the last hurrah - we've got four years and want to come out of this saying we won the war on terrorism."
We will always see skirmishing, even when the major regimes are toppled. But it can reach the point where they are so decimated and forced into hiding that we can declare victory in the World War against Terror, either called World War III or possibly World War IV, depending on one's definition of a war. FReegards....
Man, I'll be SOOOOOO glad to see global terrorism's next leg kicked out from under it. Time's a wastin'. Iran or N. Korea would be perfect, logical choices, imo, Iran being perhaps a more urgent target for us. Thank God Dubya won! :-)
"He'd have to get the people behind it," King told the Daily News."
Like the American people really love the Iranian regime, right? Ha!
You thought maybe I was kidding about skinning the loose lipped? No, I wasn't. Anyone doing infiltration work has to have stones to go there in the first place, but this adds serious complications that did not need to be there--and for what? A story? They are not only hampering the intelligence gathering, but further endangering the gatherers.
My bet has always been on the Senate Intelligence committee and their staff. I'd bet the 'CIA' leaks came from there, too.
There is a group on the hill who hate our military and all affiliates enough to do anything to make our armed forces look bad, from the Commander in Chief down.
Oh, I hate when people do that. Now you've got me scared. :( Can't you email me with your thought? My imagination is too wild, now I'm thinking all kinds of scenarios...
