This was occurring in Iran’s sovereign waters.  Iran has a right, by international treaty, to board ships to inspect for hostile intent.  No helicopters in the air. Submarines are to pass through on the surface, etc. etc.  This includes all nations passing through their waters.

And our governmental representatives allow these creeps to remain in office.  What a disgrace.

As long as the work of the Military is being contracted out there will be war, for the investors are the one who are profitting from wars, why the American tax payers are doing the paying.

War for profit, proof, Iraq war.  Are we safer, no, whe should be afraid of the military contracters on over throwing our government.

Sad but maybe true.

From the local newspaper 3rd week of May 2008:
National Guard unit alerted for 2010 mission:
The 3,000 members 86th Infantry Brigade Combat Team(Mountain) based in Vermont, including six states altogether, has been alerted for possible deployment in Afghanistan.

Or could they possibly mean Iran instead? This administration should not be allowed to dictate future military situations years in advance, when they should not even be in the position to do so. Does this speak to you that they have no intention of leaving?

Don’t be surprised if the election does not take place. Hillary even said a while back that something BIG will happen the end of October to throw off the elections. At the time some thought it would be something about Obama. However, it could be the invasion of Iran. The sabre rattling and drum beat have been going on for some time now. And if this happens, issame group will refuse to vacate the W.H. and continue to drag down what is left of this country.

Congress has proven time and time again that it has no backbone to refuse to allow any more money for any more wars, so we will be stuck with another quagmire, just like the ones we have now thanks to the Bushco/Cheney the Chainsaw Gang.

It’s true that a lot of people have died in this war. But the death of the belief that we are a nation of the people, by the people, and for the people is the biggest casualty of all.

Hersh is the best investigative journalist we have.  There are so few now.

For the american citizens that believe these things just don’t happen… those denialists that have never heard about Operation Nothwoods or can’t possibly entertain the idea that 9/11 was an inside job, need to go no farther for evidence than this story.

Worked so well to fire up suuport for the illegal, trumped up invasion of Iraq. I’m sure they could pin that one on Hatfield, if the facts again lead back Detrick again…. Always got to have a back up Patsy.
Which Hitler type tactic, method or devastation are the International Community Waiting for before they finally levy High Crime Charges against this Admin and their Corp and Foreign “Royal” sponsors?
Congress, and SCOTUS have proven their impotence and/or Complicity- So it is theInternational Communities responsiblity to finally prosecute for these Unwarranted Aggresions and Threats to the World Community. After they clear out the Top criminals for War Crimes andCrimes against Humanity- We’ll clean up the rest for Treason, Spying, Embezzlement, Fraud ....and the Anthrax murders and attempted murders.

I’ve been reading Hersh for years. I’ve saved many of his articles. I’ve yet to find one that didn’t prove true. While I prefer primary sources or cited info, investigative journalists must have some unnamed sources. His article on Bush administration secret operations inside Iran is a must-read. Better Congressional and public oversight is imperative. Although this administration has less than 6 months left, it’s proved it can do a lot more damage.

I ditto JNagyara…

Seymour Hersh has delivered the truth over and over again, and well in advance of it becoming obvious to the rest of the world.

As for his sources, that’s probably the whole point. Daniel Ellsberg delivered the truth as well. So did Woodward and Bernstein.
