"Why does the administration let this stuff go unnoticed? "
This is where I have to laugh. We are the wealthiest nation on the planet with the best military and I would think a pretty darn good global network of intelligence resources.
Yeah, we are sitting back doing absolutely nothing. No resources on the ground in Iran, nothing in Iraq, nothing in Syria... Nope, nada, zippo.
The only thing that we notice or don't is what the NY Times and the MSM reports. We are foolish to think the administration is sitting on their hands doing nothing. That is a media myth that we are supposed to buy into.
We have people on the ground all over this planet doing the things that the NY Times would decry as both intrusive to that nations soveriegnty and inhumane to our enemies.
It's like everyone thinks we are not allowed to have secrets.
We have secrets, but we are doing precious little to stop Iran. My guess is we are supporting Iranian opposition groups, which is good. But Bush's rhetoric about not tolerating terrorist regimes is hollow (so far). Iran fits the profile to a "T" right down to directly targeting American troops and our allies. And we are not threatening a military response (so far).
