[News]U.S Prepares Battlefield in Iran

With the recent events including, Israeli air fighter jet exercises, trying to place sanctions onto Iran, it seems that the war there is imminent.
Now, a new report by CNN:

U.S Prepares Battlefield in Iran

Quote:

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Bush administration has launched a "significant escalation" of covert operations in Iran, sending U.S. commandos to spy on the country's nuclear facilities and undermine the Islamic republic's government, journalist Seymour Hersh said Sunday.

White House, CIA and State Department officials declined comment on Hersh's report, which appears in this week's issue of The New Yorker.

Hersh told CNN's "Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer" that Congress has authorized up to $400 million to fund the secret campaign, which involves U.S. special operations troops and Iranian dissidents.

President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have rejected findings from U.S. intelligence agencies that Iran has halted a clandestine effort to build a nuclear bomb and "do not want to leave Iran in place with a nuclear program," Hersh said.

"They believe that their mission is to make sure that before they get out of office next year, either Iran is attacked or it stops its weapons program," Hersh said.

The new article, "Preparing the Battlefield," is the latest in a series of articles accusing the Bush administration of preparing for war with Iran.

He based the report on accounts from current and former military, intelligence, and congressional sources. Watch Hersh discuss what he says are the administration's plans for IranVideo

"As usual with his quarterly pieces, we'll decline to comment," White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe told CNN.

"The CIA, as a rule, does not comment on allegations regarding covert operations," CIA spokesman Paul Gimigliano said.

Ryan Crocker, the U.S. ambassador in Baghdad, denied U.S. raids were being launched from Iraq, where American commanders believe Iran is stoking sectarian warfare and fomenting attacks on U.S. troops.

"I can tell you flatly that U.S. forces are not operating across the Iraqi border into Iran, in the south or anywhere else," Crocker said.

Hersh said U.S. efforts were staged from Afghanistan, which also shares a border with Iran.

He said the program resulted in "a dramatic increase in kinetic events and chaos" inside Iran, including attacks by Kurdish separatists in the country's north and a May attack on a mosque in Shiraz that killed 13 people.

The United States has said it is trying to isolate Iran diplomatically in order to get it to come clean about its nuclear ambitions. But Bush has said "all options" are open in dealing with the issue.

Iran insists its nuclear program is aimed at providing civilian electric power, and refuses to comply with U.N. Security Council demands that it halt uranium enrichment work.

U.N. nuclear inspectors say Tehran held back critical information that could determine whether it is trying to make nuclear weapons.

Israel, which is believed to have its own nuclear arsenal, conducted a military exercise in the eastern Mediterranean in early June involving dozens of warplanes and aerial tankers.

The distance involved in the exercise was roughly the same as would be involved in a possible strike on the Iranian nuclear fuel plant at Natanz, Iran, a U.S. military official said.

In 1981, Israeli warplanes destroyed an Iraqi nuclear reactor.

Iran's parliament speaker, Ali Larijani, warned other countries against moves that would "cost them heavily." In comments that appeared in the semi-official Mehr news agency Sunday, an Iranian general said his troops were digging more than 320,000 graves to bury troops from any invading force with "the respect they deserve."

"Under the law of war and armed conflict, necessary preparations must be made for the burial of soldiers of aggressor nations," said Maj. Gen. Mirfaisal Baqerzadeh, an Iranian officer in charge of identifying soldiers missing in action.

Journalist Shirzad Bozorghmehr in Tehran, Iran, contributed to this report.

iran hates the usa no matter what. It's not a terrorist movement anymore, its now indoctorated in their qoran, koran is a different book, qoran teaches hate and terrorism fundamentals. I wouldn't be surprised if one day i woke up and saw a small cloud of smoke billowing out of washinton DC. PPL fail to realize Russia supplies Iran nuclear weapons, Iran smuggles weapons in usa by cargo ship, Iran nukes the mcdonalds you work at. good bye you.

Not looking foward to seeing the violence this winter and the beginning spring of 2009.

A country doesn't have to feed their people, the people have to feed themselves.

Oh god damn it!
Watch them pull the UK into this one too!

After watching Zetigist, i saw how bad US is, no offense to ppl living there, but just the smart asses at White House:)

Wise man once say'd: The Rich Wage War, But The Poor Suffer. or something:).

That's what you get for feeding the troll.
The US should stop sticking it's nose in everything there is.
I couldn't care less tbh.

they arent broke, theyre putting out something like 270 billion $ just for the army.

They rather have a war then providing people with decent shelter and food.

exactly. recent estimates have said that all it takes to fix the economy is 90 billion, and america is spending more on WAR.

I hope that all countries will unite and annihilate US one day. Separate the territory between Brazil and Canada and give Alaska back to Russia.

US always starts a war when the country is having bad economics. Interesting, what will happen if Russia, China, Korea and middle east countries will unite and defend the Iran...

so obvious that you are brainless and didn't read the whole article..

US suspects that Iran has plans to build nuclear weapons, and US doesn't want to risk it.

US helped Romania a lot(bad economics as you say) and have a strong partnership, so what you stated is complete bulls**t

the enemy of iran, russia, china and korea etc is not the US people but the US government

unfortunately the US government uses US citizens to fight its enemies

QFT, I just don't believe that US people think like US government does. Because if it is so, than I got to say that US people are like politician marionettes. But why, god why G.W.Bush won the presentational campaign for second time? Do US people really like him, or there is no democracy in US at all?


2Kimberly, okej. ;D

I live in the US, so fuck you.

And anyway,

Iran has always been a terrorist country, killing innocent people for thousands of years. Arabs/Persians won't keep quiet until they get their shitty land back. The US tries to defend the Jews, Iran hates Jews, so Iran hates the US. War will start with Iran, I have no doubt.

K no need to be so patriotic buddy.
And you don't need to make excuses for your country...the government can make enough as it is.
Who are you to label a country a "terrorist country"...U.S has killed enough of it's 'finest men and women' by sending them to Iraq, Afghanistan, and soon Iran, acting as a police state. Useless wars, with no known goals, which nobody wanted, except the few higher ups in the government.

Try $54,638 Billion. That's 5.4 Trillion or $5,463,800,000,000. Homeland Security budget of 2006. 2007 -2008 numbers haven't come out yet.

You must not know how war works do you... If countries united and started bombing the U.S. it would be a tangled web of allies/enemies fighting. The whole world would blow up before the first day was over.

That happens in Every country... Take an Economics class or two before you go blabing your mouth with little info.

The wars we see on the TV are completely different from what actually goes on. TV only shows the bad things about war, never the good sides. I have 4 friends in the Marines and 3 in the Navy. All of them agree that the people of Iraq want us there to help them. I get sent pictures of children that run to the soldiers just to talk to them, thanking them that they're there.

someone do humanity a favor and shoot that basterd in the face

and you know this how?

i presume you have never been, america kills just as many innocents if not more

for instance do you know the policy for soldiers in iraq? If they are fired upon/attacked they have to kill everyone in the area, this includes women and children

what about vietnam? i guess that doesnt matter because you wernt around then (not that i was) or because it wasnt on american soil

what makes you think you are so different to those in iran?

dimes mate, you are a dick

Proof that the USA Education system is working how they want it to.

I live in the US, and while I take no part in the war or anything (Yet, because of my grades and all I have a feeling that the only way I'll make a decent living is to join the Army or some branch of the Military. But I don't agree that half of you have the right to put down the citizens of the US because of what our government is doing, most are not even a part of it, and some are taking it too far as if all of the US is just utter shit and brainless.

If you believe that, then you're thinking exactly like our government, they think differently and act differently so lets blast there ass.

You're no better.


For the ones of you who are just saying our government is shit, I pretty much agree with you, we don't have smart people in the government because it's mostly the lower class who are wise, which can't afford to fund some huge party and all just so they get elected.

Its just a matter of time before they reinstate the draft and I get my ass blown up over the neoconservative/democrat ideals, you know, the ones where they think the US should be policing the world, and promoting democracy through the barrel of a gun!
