Heck, just send Jack Bauer. I bet he could topple the Iranian government all by himself in 24 hours.
'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

I read this this morning with a sense of despair.
I wouldn't put it past these guys to do it.
If they do do it, it will be another gross miscalculation.
I cannot believe this, these guys are seriously ****ed up, and if this DOES go down, there will be serious repurcussions, both foreign and domestic. I don't think our domestic population will tolerate another aggressive act, and the internationa community will be beside themselves.
Iran WILL take the gloves off, and if you think Iraq is ****ed right now, the whole region will become a mega ****up if this goes down.
Thanks to Hersh for the warning.

Even more sinister is the Administration control over the CIA, which has been done through purgings. Rumsfeld already owns the Pentagon, now he will own the CIA.
"The president assigned a series of findings and executive orders authorizing secret commando groups and other special forces units to conduct covert operations against suspected terrorist targets in as many as 10 nations in the Middle East and South Asia," he wrote.
Under the secret plans, the war on terrorism would be led by the Pentagon, and the power of the CIA would be reduced, Hersh wrote in his article.
"It's sort of a great victory for Donald Rumsfeld, a bureaucratic victory," Hersh told CNN.
He said: "Since the summer of 2002, he's been advocating, 'Let me run this war, not the CIA. We can do it better. We'll send our boys in. We don't have to tell their local military commanders. We don't have to tell the ambassadors. We don't have to tell the CIA station chiefs in various countries. Let's go in and work with the bad guys and see what we can find out.'"
Hersh added that the administration has chipped away at the CIA's power and that newly appointed CIA Director Porter Goss has overseen a purge of the old order.
"He's been committing sort-of ordered executions'" Hersh said. "He's been -- you know, people have been fired, they've been resigning."
The target of the housecleaning at the CIA, he said, has been intelligence analysts, some of whom are seen as "apostates -- as opposed to being true believers."We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. - Abraham LincolnComment

If the report is true, I don't see what's wrong with it. It does not mean that we are palnning to go to war with Iran. We're just scouting the area in case we do need to make a strike against Iran's nuke facilities.
Besides, Iran has a much stronger connection with Islamic terrorism than Iraq.'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams.

He said the same thing when we were talking about Iraq.
He was going to let diplomacy and then inspections run their course before exercising a miltary option.We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. - Abraham LincolnComment

McCain gave his approval for reprimanding people for accountability reasons, the exact same way he PWN3D Rumsfeld himself.
The Administration is now having people kicked out of the CIA for not falling in line like lemmings. They already did this at the Pentagon.

I'll believe this when CBS has documents to prove it."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

First, SUF.
Second, I would not put up such foolishnes beyond the administration- hitting Iran while we have a lot of assets in Iraq would not be a cost free excercise, specially since thanks to Iraq we hardly have the forces to oust the regime.If you don't like reality, change it! me
