I hope that it is bull, since I doubt they want the rest of the world to know.

Hersh -- and his article -- have have already been thoroughly trashed here on FR,. Besides, this article is from The Guardian...

The Guardian -- quoting Hersh -- couldn't you have at least gone to the National Enquirer for a more reliable source?

So Farah says no active use of force to oust the regime, that is undesirable. Then what else can the US do?

It sounds like Europe has more influence when it comes to Iran.

We can call them a member of the Axis of Evil, but we cannot remove the regime from power.

Our hands are tied.

Don't you agree?

LOL! Self-referential link... One of the dangers of having too many browser windows open... Let's try that again:

No more bloodshed in Iran! That is what I agree with... but in the worst case scenario the US has to intervene and we may watch a full scale bloodshed in Iran to oust the regime.
I'd be so glad if the US could hand weaponry and tools to the Iranian youths to oust the Islamic regime with less bloodshed and without US carpet bombings and ...etc!

Well, our hands are tied until we have no obvious policy on Iran.

And Re: EU influence on Iran, yes those bunch of thieves have lots of influence on the Mullahs than the US government and that is what it is!

Is there enough armed and/or organized opposition groups in Iran to revolt and bring down the current Iranian government with the only the help of U.S. air power and special operation forces? Could we have regime change there without having to send in any ground forces other than special operations forces? Is the opposition there strong enough to do that at this point?

If you really want to send a message to Iran, send in a KBR assessment team.

Weird Watch


If over the past 15 years or so one read and believed the reports of Human Rights Watch, one would be 110% convinced that the United States -- the world's oldest democracy; the country that brought down colonialism, Nazism, Fascism, and Communism; invented the UN; serves as a safehaven for tens-of millions of people of all races, nationalities, and creeds; and remains still the most sought after destination for millions of intending immigrants around the world -- is the greatest threat to peace, international cooperation, freedom and democracy ever to exist. It seems that for the guys and the gals at HRW, whenever something "negative" happens in the world, it's ultimate source is something the USA has done or failed to do.
