#2  LOL.

The funniest thing was that I edited it as much as possible to avoid as much of the background info as possible ;)

#3 Great post.
The question I have,is just how did US News get access to "thousands" of reports,including raw data?

#5 Sounds more like an engineered leak to bolster the case against Iran.

#6 So, whadja think, Dan?

How did USNWR get access to theses thousands of pages of classified documents? Just after the election and before the Fallujah offensive? What documents did nthey not get to see?

#7 A more interesting question is what the US is doing about it, i.e. SOG activities involving the assassination of large numbers of these boyz. Seriously, if they have not killed thousands of these eaters of pork, they are not doing their job. Hell, they should have been cutting throats on the streets of Tehran six months ago--with special efforts to nail anyone associated with their nuclear program. If you have a brigade of James Bonds, use them.

#8 I think AzCat is right. The US is setting up the stage for actions of various sorts for Iran. It would take a state like Iran to provide the resources for the kind of insurgencies that we have been dealing with since the end of the assault phase on Iraq. With the MMs going for nukes and playing the EUnichs for fools, the stakes are rapidly rising.

#9 Anonymoose, as easily this is being released now to justify the future release of the brigade if its activities are revealed. Or to wear down resistance to releasing the brigade by congressional overseers who have been reluctant to consent. Or perhaps prefatory to seeking congressional consent. Or as part of a get Goss effort by soon to be former Ops personnel. When one gets into this sort of thing, nothing is ever as it seems.

#10  Now that the purge is on and in full swing, the US can start disclosing information about the true nature of the Iranian threat without having to deal with all of these leaked "rebuttals" from Pillar and Co the way they did with Iraq.

Everything is proceeding exactly as I have foreseen it ...

LOL, Dan... that's exactly what the emperor said to vader in return of the jedi ;)

#12 Sounds like the author should have been Michael Ledeen. He is the renowned expert on these terror masters. As Michael suggests, all roads lead to Iran.
