We are going to War with Iran.
http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/?050124fa_factThis is the NEW YORKER. A very reputable magazine. If we don't act now, we will go into another war with Iran. Remember Bush's promise of no draft? its gone now. We need to get rid of him NOW!
All very true, and not only Iran, but almost every Middle Eastern country. Remember the 1993 World Trade Center attack? There were some intelligence people in that group, supposedly to "monitor" the situation, but they may have participated in, or even instigated it. Now this (quoting the article):
"Under Rumsfeld’s new approach, I was told, U.S. military operatives would be permitted to pose abroad as corrupt foreign businessmen seeking to buy contraband items that could be used in nuclear-weapons systems. In some cases, according to the Pentagon advisers, local citizens could be recruited and asked to join up with guerrillas or terrorists. This could potentially involve organizing and carrying out combat operations, or even terrorist activities. Some operations will likely take place in nations in which there is an American diplomatic mission, with an Ambassador and a C.I.A. station chief, the Pentagon consultant said. The Ambassador and the station chief would not necessarily have a need to know, under the Pentagon’s current interpretation of its reporting requirement.
"The new rules will enable the Special Forces community to set up what it calls “action teams” in the target countries overseas which can be used to find and eliminate terrorist organizations. “Do you remember the right-wing execution squads in El Salvador?” the former high-level intelligence official asked me, referring to the military-led gangs that committed atrocities in the early nineteen-eighties. “We founded them and we financed them,” he said. “The objective now is to recruit locals in any area we want. And we aren’t going to tell Congress about it.” A former military officer, who has knowledge of the Pentagon’s commando capabilities, said, “We’re going to be riding with the bad boys.”"
Not to be paranoid, but I'm sure that there are some on any blog who are actually not what they seem...
