The US is not going to attack Iran militarily. They would have already done so when the story came out in 2003 that Iran was harboring al-Qaeda operatives.
Remember that story? What happened to the Bush Doctrine there ?
Iran admits holding al Qaeda operatives
Iranian officials Thursday told a U.N. representative that Iran has several unnamed al Qaeda operatives in custody, CNN has learned.
The acknowledgment comes as Washington has intensified its accusations that al Qaeda terrorists are inside Iran -- something Tehran had previously denied.
"We know al Qaeda individuals are inside Iran," this official said. "But what is the definition of custody? If they are in Iran, free to plan and direct attacks, such as the Saudi bombings, and are able to receive visitors and updates and other information, that is not custody. That is safe haven."
This official said senior Bush Cabinet officials will meet next week on Iran policy, adding that there is talk about isolating Iran at the United Nations, much as the United States did during the first 20 years after the 1979 revolution.
U.S. says Iran knowingly harboring al Qaeda
The Bush administration is not only fairly certain some top al Qaeda figures are hiding in Iran, but also believes Tehran is aware of their presence, a senior administration official told CNN Wednesday.
"With regards to some people, there is reason to believe the government knows, with regard to others, it is less clear," said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. "In a country like Iran with an active secret police and military, one has to presume it knows what is going on within its borders."
The administration's only official response to reports that two senior al Qaeda leaders may be hiding out in Iran was to repeat its call for Tehran not to provide "safe haven" to terrorists.
"Reagan"-Bush sold arms to both countries during the Iran-Iraq war. (See Spider´s Web.) Tehran knew it, and Baghdad knew it.
The Ayatollahs and Busha Nostra go way back:
An Interview with Farah Mansoor (RFA 31-2)
This series of interviews covers the landmark research of Farah Mansoor, a member of the Iranian resistance whose historic research on the rise of the Khomeini regime documents the decisive role of the United States in developing Islamic fundamentalist forces in that country as the anti-communist successors to the Shah's government. Farah has documented that U.S. Ambassador to Iran, Richard Helms, learned that the Shah had cancer in 1974. Former Director of Central Intelligence Helms promptly informed the CIA and Department of State with the result that, by 1976, George Bush's CIA was actively supporting and grooming the Khomeini forces. The subsequent takeover of the U.S. embassy in Teheran, the withholding of the U.S. hostages until after President Carter's defeat was assured, the Khomeini government itself and the Iran-Contra scandal proper were all outgrowths of this profound and long-standing relationship. It should be noted that parts of this relationship have been misunderstood as what has become known as "the October Surprise." Although there was, massive collusion between the Reagan-Bush campaign and the Khomeini forces during the 1980 election campaign, there was no "deal" cut during the campaign. Rather, the "deal" was part of a covert operation begun years before and the collusion during the campaign was an outgrowth of it.
How the U.S. & Iran have Cooperated to Sponsor Muslim Terror
(And this while loudly denouncing one another in public...)
Public Enemies, Private Friends
Contrary to the mainstream media and supposed critics of US policy alike, Iran and the US have *not* had purely hostile relations since the overthrow of the Shah 24 years ago.
Rather, the US and Iran have had a complex relationship which includes attacking each other publicly even while they cooperate covertly to carry out sundry nefarious schemes.
That is precisely what happened in Bosnia in the early 1990s.
Let us look at the facts.
First, what sorts of insults did the US and Iran trade in the early 1990s?
Second, how do those compare to the insults they are trading *now*?
And third, in the early 1990s, were the US and Iran friends or enemies on the ground in Bosnia?
Jump Start the GWOT
Recall also that both François Genoud and Ahmed Huber were admirers of Khomeini and that Genoud subsidized Khomeini's prolonged exile in France when Iran was governed by the Shah. We also know that the Bush Family is/was one degree of separation away from Genoud (Genoud committed suicide in 1996) via their connection to Khaled bin Mahfouz, Baudoin Dunand and the Carlyle Group. The theory that the Americans are not so much “fighting the insurgency” in Iraq as “training” a new generation of Mujahideen in the art of asymmetrical warfare to be used in future operations, for example against Israel or the United States, is perfectly plausible from the available evidence and recent developments on the ground in Iraq. In other words, as Public Enemy once said, Don't Believe The Hype.
Back
Caught you looking for the same thing
It's a new thing - check out this I bring
Uh Oh the roll below the level
'Cause I'm livin' low next to the bass, C'mon
Turn up the radio
They claim that I'm a criminal
By now I wonder how
Some people never know
The enemy could be their friend, guardian
I'm not a hooligan
I rock the party and
Clear all the madness, I'm not a racist
Preach to teach to all
'Cause some they never had this
Number one, not born to run
About the gun...
I wasn't licensed to have one
The minute they see me, fear me
I'm the epitome - a public enemy
Used, abused without clues
I refused to blow a fuse
They even had it on the news
Don't believe the hype...
Yes
Was the start of my last jam
So here it is again, another def jam
But since I gave you all a little something
That we knew you lacked
They still consider me a new jack
All the critics you can hang'em
I'll hold the rope
But they hope to the pope
And pray it ain't dope
The follower of Farrakhan
Don't tell me that you understand
Until you hear the man
The book of the new school rap game
Writers treat me like Coltrane, insane
Yes to them, but to me I'm a different kind
We're brothers of the same mind, unblind
Caught in the middle and
Not surrenderin'
I don't rhyme for the sake of of riddlin'
Some claim that I'm a smuggler
Some say I never heard of 'ya
A rap burgler, false media
We don't need it do we?
It's fake that's what it be to 'ya, dig me?
Don't believe the hype...
Don't believe the hype - its a sequel
As an equal, can I get this through to you
My 98's boomin' with a trunk of funk
All the jealous punks can't stop the dunk
Comin' from the school of hard knocks
Some perpetrate, they drink Clorox
Attack the black, cause I know they lack exact
The cold facts, and still they try to Xerox
Leader of the new school, uncool
Never played the fool, just made the rules
Remember there's a need to get alarmed
Again I said I was a timebomb
In the daytime the radio's scared of me
'Cause I'm mad, plus I'm the enemy
They can't c'mon and play with me in primetime
'Cause I know the time, plus I'm gettin' mine
I get on the mix late in the night
They know I'm livin' right, so here go the mike, sike
Before I let it go, don't rush my show
You try to reach and grab and get elbowed
Word to herb, yo if you can't swing this
Just a little bit of the taste of the bass for you
As you get up and dance at the LQ
When some deny it, defy if I swing bolos
Then they clear the lane I go solo
The meaning of all of that
Some media is the whack
You believe it's true, it blows me through the roof
Suckers, liars get me a shovel
Some writers I know are damn devils
For them I say don't believe the hype
Yo Chuck, they must be on a pipe, right?
Their pens and pads I'll snatch
'Cause I've had it
I'm not an addict fiendin' for static
I'll see their tape recoreder and grab it
No, you can't have it back silly rabbit
I'm going' to my media assassin
Harry Allen, I gotta ask him
Yo Harry, you're a writer, are we that type?
Don't believe the hype
I got flavor and all those things you know
Yeah boy, part two bum rush and show
Yo Griff, get the green black red and
Gold down countdown to Armageddon
-88 you wait the S1Ws will
Rock the hard jams - treat it like a seminar
Teach the bourgeoise, and rock the boulevard
Some sau I'm negative
But they're not positive
But what I got to give...
