Retired Colonel: ‘We Are Conducting Military Operations Inside Iran Right Now. The Evidence Is Overwhelming.’

Just now on CNN, Air Force Col. Sam Gardiner (Ret.) said, “We are conducting military operations inside Iran right now. The evidence is overwhelming.”

Gardiner, who taught at the U.S. Army’s National War College, has previously suggested that U.S. forces were already on the ground in Iran. Today he added several additional new points:

1) The House Committee on Emerging Threats recently called on State and Defense Department officials to testify on whether U.S. forces were in Iran. The officials didn’t come to the hearing.

2) “We have learned from Time magazine today that some U.S. naval forces had been alerted for deployment. That is a major step.”

3) “The plan has gone to the White House. That’s not normal planning. When the plan goes to the White House, that means we’ve gone to a different state.”

Oh Cr@p!!!!!!!!!

Was Iraq just a stepping stone? Just blow up their nuclear facility and stay out, the body count would be too high.

Don't stop there then. Let's get Israel's, Pakistans, India's, North Korea's, China's, all the ex USSR republics, and especially the USA's... they are most likely to use it.

The "nukular" facility is a red herring.

 

[It's Snake Pliskin]

I reckon we should send in the Zygons to take them on.

Ah yes the Doctor would sort them all out.

If anyone sees a tardis around please knock on the door and inform the Doctor we need his help.

 

[It's Snake Pliskin]

....but if the Zygons fail Davros is the man.

...if ordinary folk go in then some armour like this guy has got would be good:http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/sontaranexperiment/

Send in the Zygons undercover as they have that ability, then the second wave with Davros and his Daleks, followed by a Sontaran experiment creature.

...and this is all crap by the way.

I haven`t seen it so can`t comment. I am a big fan of the John Pertwee and Tom Baker episodes 1970 -1980. Dr Who on weeknights ABC when life was simple.

It's much updated and modern of course, but hasn't lost the feel of the old series I don't reckon. David Tennant make a very good Doctor.

Even some of the low tech stuff in the old series turns up in the odd cameo.

Unmissable in my house

i always enjoyed the doctor


but am concerned about USA with Iran, it just doesnt seem to stop, they keep marching on in everywhere to take what they dont like and what they want to stop without ever really seeming to help anyone but themselves...and they even muck that up most of the time

The US is overextended in Iraq. Some of their troops are going for their fourth turn in Iraq. If they had the troops the US would send them to Iraq and Afganistan.

I think that the US is just sabre rattling at the moment, they'll only do something if the can get the UN to supply the troops.

After the screw up in Iraq the US wouldn't try a "surgical" strike in Iran, thinking it would have no bad implications. Would they? Tell me Bush wouldn't be that stupid, please...

MIT,

Don't forget we have an apocalyptic sect of zionist christians in charge over there.

George (God talks to me) W Bush and his cabal of nutters actually believe that WWIII (or IV or V or whatever they're calling this one) will force the second coming of Christ.

So are they that stupid? Well maybe not stupid, but insane? Yes!

lol, scary thing is its probably true!

 

[dubiousinfo]

SIGH ! ! !

And it's still 2 years before there is a possibility of sanity returning.

Military Orders Suggest Iran Attack

Two recent orders by the American military have led some observers to conclude that the U.S. is preparing for an attack on Iran.

One order was a "Prepare to Deploy" command sent to a submarine, an Aegis-class cruiser, two minesweepers and two mine hunters, telling the ships’ commanders to be ready to move by Oct. 1.

The other was a request from the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) for a fresh look at long-standing U.S. plans to blockade two Iranian oil ports on the Persian Gulf.

The orders created a buzz within the military because there are few places in the world where minesweepers could be significant – chief among them, the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf, where about 40 percent of the world’s oil passes each day.

"Coupled with the CNO’s request for a blockade review, a deployment of minesweepers to the west coast of Iran would seem to suggest that a much discussed – but until now largely theoretical – prospect has become real: that the U.S. may be preparing for war with Iran,” according to a special report in Time magazine.

Too long to quote but it discusses whether the mobilisation is just a bluff or not. A very good discussion of the issues. I still think it is a bluff unless they haven't learned their lesson from Iraq. On the other hand Cheney was recently blaming the failings in Iraq on left wingers complaining about the government.

Anyone care to give odds that Iran will back down
