#1 The mission is so secret that the President can deny it, but someone the telegraph got a hold of it. Salt to taste. Now, if we could just talk Israel into taking on hezbullah, we might be getting somewhere.

#5 USA's ability to find differences between scum-vermin and verminous scum never ceases to amaze me.

#6 Not us, gromgoru, the elites at the State Dept. and their fellow travellers.

#7 "There's a feeling in [Occupied] Jerusalem that the anti-Sunni tilt in the region has gone too far," said an intelligence source. "By removing Saddam, we've shifted things in favour of the Shiites and this is a counter-balancing exercise."

"A feeling" ... for phuechs sake! This is meaningless US State Dept donk or Klingon doublespeak and jibberish. Just another way to blame the administration for streaching Saddam's neck. Next headline you read will be, "Hezbot's hold contractors/Klingon's with longish infidel hair for randsom or execution as spies. White House and State Department deny allegations."

#8 Does this mean the CIA will stop fighting Bush? The cynic in me wonders of the CIA is fighting above their weight class in taking on Hezbollah.

#9 I'm putting $30 on Hezbollah to win vs the CIA.

Now if it was the NSA and the special forces command..... Hezbollah's days would be numbered in months.

#11 Can't take the bet Darth. The CIA has too many information men and information processes in Leb. which can't be risked, it would give away part of the priceless store-house of CIA inside info.

#12 They called in the CIA because the first string choice, BSA (Boy Scouts of America) troops 933, 487, 1118, and 4077, would have missed too many weekly meetings...

#13 After watching the imbecillic antics of the CIA over the last 20 years, I wouldn't trust them to shoot a rabid dog at their doorsteps. Special Forces, Delta Force, a few others I can't name - THEM I trust. The CIA could screw up a solid steel bowling ball (my friends at NIMA excluded).

#15 I'll believe it when all of CAIR is in jail. With Keith Ellison as their bitch.
