Next stop Iran

Well, it looks like the grand crusaders have found another soveign nation to attack. As of Right Now, the Bush administration has signed off on letting the CIA to covertly destabilize and take down the Iranian government.

The only good thing seems to be that the CIA is not allowed to use lethal force. So why is the navy in the process of a built up off the iranian coast?

However, the only real surprise comes from the money-grubbing oil tycoon/ puppet master Dick Cheney,

"Vice President Cheney helped to lead the side favoring a military strike," said former CIA official Riedel, "but I think they have come to the conclusion that a military strike has more downsides than upsides."

well he's the article http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/...uthorizes.html

god I hope we are not in store for another Preemptive War, because i have had enough spreading democracy to last me another administration. And I pray that Bush and Company do not start WWIII.

ps- the above post may contain slight sarcasm and bias, and i thought it would worthy to mention that.

they'll never learn it seems.. who ARE these people? how can they be so crazy??

YaY - another leftist!!!1

If this is true, which it probably isnt (real covert ops are..well.. covert), then more good news!

This is how to take people down, its a lot more cost effective and just as powerful if done right.

The only reasons I dont want war with them is

-it could be never ending

-I learned from Iranians on the ORG that most also dislike the muslim extremists, then we can put our difference aside and have peace.

Other than that lets pwn 'em

It would be a mistake without precedent in history to militarily attack Iran. It would very likely lead to a nuclear exchange, of what scale, I don't know.

If anybody out there really believes the CIA hasn't been trying to destabilize the Islamic Republic since 1979, I've got a check I'd like you to cash for me... you can deposit it with the Easter Bunny. What's news is that they've announced it. Seems odd.

Easter Bunny? - I thought that was a lie to give children candy

, it almost sounds like:

WMD- the reason it was ok to invade iraq (the candy is the cheap gas we're getting).

see little white lies never hurt anybody

yeah, it worked real well with Mossadegh when we took him down. Yep, real well.

Starting a war with China would probably be even worse, but short of that I can't think of many stupider things we could do right now than attack Iran. I'm just hoping against hope that the Iranian people sort out their own government before things get too bad. They're really the only ones with the power to effect real change there and I think they have the education, intelligence, and potential to do it.
