US Special Ops commander: We’ve sent troops into North Korea By David Martosko - The Daily Caller 12:14 PM 05/28/2012 ADVERTISEMENT
U.S. Army Gen. Neil Tolley, commander of U.S. Special Operations Forces in South Korea, told an audience in Tampa that U.S. and South Korean forces have been sent into North Korea to spy on the communist country’s vast collection of underground tunnels and military installations.
The extraordinary admission, which went unreported by U.S. media, came on May 22 during the Special Operations Forces Industry Conference. Tolley said his command has identified 20 airfields and 180 munitions factories that are partially underground, along with thousands of subterranean artillery positions.
“The entire tunnel infrastructure is hidden from our satellites,” Tolley added, according a report published Monday by The Diplomat, a Japan-based foreign affairs magazine.
“So we send ROK [Republic of Korea] soldiers and U.S. soldiers to the North to do special reconnaissance.”
North Korea, he said, has dug tunnels underneath the Demilitarized Zone separating it from the South. “There were four tunnels under the DMZ,” Tolley observed, according to a Tampa Tribune blogger. “Those are the ones we know about.”
Tolley’s commandos, he said, parachute into North Korea to watch the tunnels and gather intelligence, carrying the bare minimum of supplies to avoid detection.

If youve ever seen oilfield seismic ops, you know how we get 3d color pictures of the NK tunnel infrastructure. The irony is that we use the NKs own nuke tests as our “thumper trucks” to obtain the seismic data that reveals their secret tunnels.
Everytime we think there is a new tunnel, we create an incident and then “beg” them not to dare set off another nuke blast...which off course they do.
It is simple reverse psychology.
General Tolley’s remarks were on the money:
““We have only two countries and one time zone [to watch],” he explained, “but what we lack in size we make up for in kilotons of evil.”
You can only do “so much” from space or even the air for that matter. Human intelligence, strategic intelligence by sending in Spec-Ops etc is required in addition to the image and signal component which we tend to get wrapped up around because of our aversion to risk and technology fetish. We are only fooling ourselves when we think we can get a good picture of what is going on by simply sucking in all the electrons floating through the air.
No comment.
During the 1980s I heard enough hints and unconvincing denials that I was sure that we made cross border crossings.
Guys,
rather than repeat my debunking of this on another thread, I’ll ask you to read my posts 57, 58 and 60 over there. In a word, this is a crock which one reporter created. Incompetence? Dishonesty? Pick one, he’s a reporter.

Once you see that Obama’s resume lists “editor at BIC”, everything falls into place.
Business International Corp is a front for...
Jaysus Kriste, whatever happened to people who could spell O-P-S-E-C?
Good comments. I was thinking that I had been transported into Bizarro World, where I was on the wrong side of the former east/west border.

Verified CIA Front, Business International Corp, Paid for Obama’s Columbia College Tuition
by admin on February 25, 2010
After graduating from Columbia University in 1983, Barack Obama went to work for a firm called Business International Corporation (BIC), a firm that was linked to economic intelligence gathering for the CIA. For one year, Obama worked as a researcher in BIC’s financial services division where he wrote for two BIC publications, Financing Foreign Operations and Business International Money Report, a weekly newsletter. An informed source has told WMR that Obama’s tuition debt at Columbia was paid off by BIC.
In addition, WMR has learned that when Obama lived in Indonesia with his mother and his adoptive father Lolo Soetoro, the 20-year-old Obama, who was known as “Barry Soetoro,” traveled to Pakistan in 1981 and was hosted by the family of Muhammadmian Soomro, a Pakistani Sindhi who became acting President of Pakistan after the resignation of General Pervez Musharraf on August 18, 2008. WMR was told that the Obama/Soetoro trip to Pakistan, ostensibly to go “partridge hunting” with the Soomros, related to unknown CIA business.
The covert CIA program to assist the Afghan mujaheddin was already well underway at the time and Pakistan was the major base of operations for the CIA’s support. Obama also reportedly traveled to India, again, on unknown business for U.S. intelligence. WMR has been told by knowledgeable sources that Obama has, in the past, traveled on at least three passports: U.S., Indonesian, and British. BIC also maintained a European subsidiary, Business International S.A., in Geneva.
BIC had long been associated with CIA activities since being founded by Eldridge Haynes, a self-professed liberal Democrat. The BIC headquarters was located at the prestigious address of 1 Dag Hammarskjold Plaza in Manhattan.
BIC held a series of off-the-record, no press, meetings between top U.S. business executives and top government officials, including the President, and the Secretaries of State, Defense, Treasury, Commerce, and Labor; the Attorney General, Senate leadership, and the heads of the Export-Import Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank. BIC held international meetings in locations like Brussels and Mexico City.
In 1986, BIC was bought by the Economist Group in London and its operations were merged with the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU). There have been a number of reports that the EIU works as closely with Britain’s MI-6 intelligence service as BIC once worked with or for the CIA.
One of BIC’s directors was the late Lord Pilkington, who was also a director of the Bank of England. Obama’s work for a company having ties to the CIA barely registered a blip on the 2008 presidential campaign radar screen. At the very least, Obama helped in providing economic intelligence to the CIA as a contract employee. At most, Obama was, like previous BIC employees who operated abroad for the CIA, a full-fledged non-official cover (NOC) agent.
Since President Obama has backpedaled on CIA renditions and torture, as well as warrantless electronic surveillance by U.S. intelligence, he owes the American people a full explanation of the circumstances behind his being hired by BIC, what his job actually entailed, and whether he continued to have a relationship with BIC or any other CIA operation while attending Harvard Law School and thereafter.
Obama is just CIA. It is in the public domain. It is on his official White House resume.
Same goes for GHW Bush back in 1988. He was the former CIA director.

Update: The General (BG Neil Tolley) has said that he was speaking hypothetically, but in the indicative, so (to my amazement) Axe actually quoted him accurately. But NO SF went into Nork.
I’ll be posting this same thing to the others that replied to my posts. Still too busy to hang out here much, alas.
