It Sounds Crazy, but.....

It sounds crazy, but ...
By Ray McGovern

"When a Special Forces platoon leader just back from Iraq matter-of-factly tells a close friend of mine, as happened last week, that he and his unit are now training their sights (literally) on Iran, we need to take that seriously. It provides us with a glimpse of reality as seen at ground level. For me, it brought to mind an unsolicited email I received from the father of a young soldier training at Fort Benning in the spring of 2002, soon after I wrote an op-ed discussing the timing of Bush's decision to make war on Iraq. The father informed me that, during the spring of 2002, his son kept writing home saying his unit was training to go into Iraq. No, said the father; you mean Afghanistan ... that's where the war is, not Iraq. In his next email, the son said, "No, Dad, they keep saying Iraq. I asked them and that's what they mean."

2. Hey

these guys have all but stood in the middle of the highway and said:
WE. ARE. GOING. TO. INVADE. IRAN.

Not much room for subtlety here--Sy Hersch's comments the only I've heard that make me think they may be giving it a second thought

3. Thanks for the propaganda. I hope some Iranian spies are logged

on and they decided to stop building the bomb. Good luck!
