ABC News: Bush Authorizes New Covert Action Against Iran
ABC News: Bush Authorizes New Covert Action Against Iran
This evening, ABC’s World News Tonight reported that the “United States has opened a new front in its showdown with Iran.” According to the report, President Bush has directed the CIA to carry out covert operations both inside and outside Iran “aimed directly at weakening the Iranian regime.”
ABC’s investigative correspondent Brian Ross said the CIA’s “non-lethal” program had received “secret presidential approval.” Officials told ABC the CIA plan “takes the place of proposed U.S. military action against Iran, reportedly advocated by Vice President Cheney.” Watch it:
The Blotter has more coverage:
The sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the subject, say President Bush has signed a “nonlethal presidential finding” that puts into motion a CIA plan that reportedly includes a coordinated campaign of propaganda, disinformation and manipulation of Iran’s currency and international financial transactions.
[…]
“Vice President Cheney helped to lead the side favoring a military strike,” said former CIA official Riedel, “but I think they have come to the conclusion that a military strike has more downsides than upsides.”
The covert action plan comes as U.S. officials have confirmed Iran had dramatically increased its ability to produce nuclear weapons material, at a pace that experts said would give them the ability to build a nuclear bomb in two years.
Vali Nasr, an Iran expert at the Council on Foreign Relations, said “I think everybody in the region knows that there is a proxy war already afoot with the United States supporting anti-Iranian elements in the region as well as opposition groups within Iran. And this covert action is now being escalated by the new U.S. directive, and that can very quickly lead to Iranian retaliation and a cycle of escalation can follow.”

wow hope that turns out well! lol
May 22nd, 2007 at 6:57 pmThanks stoopid liberal media for blowing the cover.
/sarcasm
May 22nd, 2007 at 6:57 pmRemember the words of Richard Perle (para):
When the terrorists stop terrorizing we’ll leave them alone.
May 22nd, 2007 at 6:57 pmYou see, Tobey Tall, I told you that UK Guardian article was a plant. Propaganda for the “secret” war that Bush was planning. Although what kind of nimrod announces to the world a new “covert” action against Iran. What kind of lunacy is that?
I should also point out that this violates the UN Charter.
May 22nd, 2007 at 6:58 pmJesus Christ ITMFA!!!
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:00 pmThat’s MF plural.
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:00 pmGotta get more troops into Iraq by the end of the year and get the CIA on the ball so that Bush and Cheney can attack Iraq sometime next summer.
The US is done folks. Forget about salvaging it, it’s a done deal. I’m in the process of selling my home so I can move to Europe, before it’s too late. I suggest that you guys do the same. This country is finished.
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:01 pmHistory repeats itself.
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:01 pmAgain.
So much for ’secret’ approval. I wonder whose b***s will be chopped off for leaking that?
This administration just flexed its muscle again but not against the Iranians, but rather against the lame Democrats who cowtowed to Bush by possibly giving him the bill he wanted regarding war funding.
The Democrats blinked and missed that one!!! LMAO
So fed up with this F’k'd up government. What a fricking JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:02 pmThat’s a new Rovism we haven’t heard before…
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:04 pm“a non-lethal presidential finding”
I’d really like to question the veracity of this report, but it’s far to logically sound for me to even feign such a dissection.
The Bush Regime is delusional and needs to be impeached. Now.
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:04 pmThis must be Brian Ross’s little “pay back scoop” in return for dumping the DC madams list in the trash can.

We’ve become the terrorists.
And we should take our own advice…

A journalist with an inside source, who wants to leak this information because they are against it. That’s how it works. You don’t just regurgitate what Tony Snow says in his debriefings.
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:07 pmTraitors!! It’s not secret anymore!!

I’m guessing it actually means that the President doesn’t get killed in the process, but everyone else who isn’t the President is fair game…

I guess that really worries the US national fundamentalists.
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:09 pmMy family is getting passports.
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:10 pmGiven a blank check, Bush is off to starting another war. Nice Show Dems, I’m sure you’ll fund that one too. Now how about some tax cuts so we can all afford $ 5 gas to commute to work so we can have 50% of our income taxes pay for wars we were against.
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:10 pmThe US is done folks. Forget about salvaging it, it’s a done deal. I’m in the process of selling my home so I can move to Europe, before it’s too late. I suggest that you guys do the same. This country is finished.

I’ll be right behind you and to tell you the truth, I don’t give a sh*t if the doors hit my a** on the way out. It’ll feel better than the screwing we’ve been getting up the a** by this f*king administration.
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:10 pm#12 - whatever happened to that list?
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:12 pmunbelievable your words, are, unbelieveable. I’m not a terrorist. And if you really think that our government is terrorists it’s traitorous for you to verbalize it. And if it’s TRUE that our government is doing terrorist activities it’s traitorous for you to verbalize it.
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:15 pmThis is a messed up world. And you’re one of these idiots who wants to give Israel back to the Palestininas, correct? Well let me tell you something. 30% of AMERICAN muslims think suicide attacks on Americans are justified. 40% of American Muslims don’t even believe 911 was commited by Arabs, even though Osama and Zawahiri have publiclly bragged about it.
These are the people you want to give the world to and you should be ashamed.
This leak is obviously Clinton’s fault. Or maybe Pelosi’s.
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:15 pmJez can’t our media leave anything alone. So what if we are? There is such a rush by the media in this country to find the next scope that it’s damaging our counter-terrosim efforts.
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:19 pmThe leak is by a concerned Republican I’m sure. Nothing wrong with that. Real checks and balances are guaranteed by technocrats, after all.
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:19 pmSo the US already supports Pakistani militant groups that have carried out attacks on Iranian soldiers…?
Does that mean that the US is sponsoring terrorism? Those Iranian soldiers didnt do anything and were inside Iran; and, there is no War between the US and Iran so that makes them innocent right?
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:20 pmWhy do all the 28%ers have to show up here? God, they are stupid. Idiots starving for negative attention……that’s all they can hope for.
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:22 pm“unbelievable your words, are, unbelieveable. I’m not a terrorist. And if you really think that our government is terrorists it’s traitorous for you to verbalize it. And if it’s TRUE that our government is doing terrorist activities it’s traitorous for you to verbalize it.”
Is this satire, LandSurveyor? Or did you just get back from a John Birch Society function? That is one the craziest paragraphs I have ever read…not to mention it goes against everything American democracy stands for.
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:22 pmHey, LandSurveyor:
Dissent does not equal treason. The Founding Fathers knew firsthand what happens in a society that holds dissent equal to treason, and they were very specific in their definition of treason in Article III, Section 3 of the Constitution as a result.
Look it up…it you were a little better informed about the highest law of this country, you might not embarrass yourself quite so much here.
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:23 pmWell let me tell you something. 30% of AMERICAN muslims think suicide attacks on Americans are justified. 40% of American Muslims don’t even believe 911 was commited by Arabs, even though Osama and Zawahiri have publiclly bragged about it.

Let me introduce you Latin America after IMF policies…
Oh, and your little post about giving the world to the Muslims, thank you, but I had enough stupid propaganda when I was in high school and I thought that having a car was the coolest thing in the world.

Dude, haven’t you ever heard of freedom of speech?
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:28 pmit has worked so well to destabilize all the formerly communist countries into currently communist or dictatorial regimes, why not try it again? Even the CIA knows that destabilizing a government was a temporary solution that has backfired on them ever since.
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:29 pmbrilliant knowing the idiot has a plan. a cunning plan.
And if it’s TRUE that our government is doing terrorist activities it’s traitorous for you to verbalize it.
Comment by LandSurveyor — May 22, 2007 @ 7:15 pm
No, it would be traitorous not to say something.
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:30 pmOh great, more massive stupidity from the White house and the traitorous war criminals that occupy it.
Just when you think that they could not get any stupider, they out do themselves with super stupider.
Hating the Repukian Mafia daily
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:30 pmLand Surveyor,
Is it your contention that we are at war against Islam?
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:30 pmNo no, this is really Iranian propaganda fed to the media to incite liberals and pacifists against President Bush… because clearly they think that Bush isn’t capable of inciting liberals and pacifists against himself well enough on his own. Too bad that Iranians made one fatal mistake in this propaganda — they failed to realize that Bush lacks any understanding of subtlety, thus the notion that this might be a “covert” operation is preposterous!
Now if ABC said that we went and nuked Iran, eh, that’s more what we’d expect from Bush at this point.
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:31 pmthey out do themselves with super stupider.
Comment by Buck Fush — May 22, 2007 @ 7:30 pm
Also know as stupiderer.
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:33 pmLandSurveyor, you are one sick puppy. I think most people are resigned to the Two State solution for Israel/Palestine. The trouble is that the Occupied Territories remain “occupied”. The Six Day War has never ended and that’s what all this fighting is about. It’s not about giving Israel back to the Palestinians –only I’m pleased you acknowledge it was Palestinian land in the first place. The Palestinians will have to give up the Right of Return, but that will have to happen with compensation.
The Bush White House does sponsor terrorism. Just as Reagan sponsored it as proved during the Iran/Contra affair. The American public may be ignorant of this terrorism, but the Muslims in the Middle East and Asia are not. They’re the ones being arrested, tortured, and murdered. If their relatives want revenge, is it so strange? Isn’t it what you wanted after 9/11? And so the vicious cycle goes on and on.
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:35 pmOk, fine. I give up. Go die in some stupid war.
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:35 pmMore like Dubya is just now telling about the ops in Iran. They have been going on since at least 2004.

I heard something similar on the teevee this eve, don’t know what network it was, but guess that’s where the poster got the info. Actually, I think the question was phrased something like ‘If your religion was threatened….’
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:44 pm# 23 - Wow. That was the craziest anti-American rant I think I have ever heard. I don’t even know what to say.
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:48 pmI would not like to be Iranian opposition in Iran, now.. The last time an incursion by the opposition was made, the prisons where emptied pronto with extreme prejudice (several thousand dead with some amusement rides along the way, women and children included). Not good.
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:49 pmleak? i don’t think so. it’s just one more tiny step towards the neocons new “manifest destiny” aka, the “new world order.” remember that one? brought to you by the same old boys. never forget: it’s all about oil, money and power. now isn’t a nice little ‘new world order’ worth the suffering, agony and death of a few million innocent people? wtf!!
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:49 pm#31 and #45
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:49 pmBBC has an article, as does CBS (websites)
Interesting to note the different slants…

Yep. But we’re the Good Guys, so it’s alright…..uh, er, maybe it’s because ‘we hate their freedom’ ?……..
Geesh, I’ve always kept a current passport…but who is going to let us in? No one is going to want any ugly Americans unless we bring lots of cash.
I’ve got solar panels, firearms, a few acres in the hills, and provisions. Guess that’s where I’ll be.
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:03 pmBush keeps listening to those voices in his head, “You are the Great One, you are the President, don’t worry what people think, you are the Law! kill all the terrorists in my Name! ”
he doesn’t understand the voices are coming from Cheney and Rove, not God.

Get a grip chickenshit!
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:12 pmNice job by ABC in juxtaposing the images of a beheading and a bus bombing while narrating that the US is supporting terrorists against the government of Iran. We need more of that to get the point across. 28%ers, your gubmint is sponsoring terrorists.
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:16 pmlike any other dictator in history,
when things get bad at home,
bush fakes an outside “threat”.
it’s getting time to go into the streets, folks.
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:17 pmAmerica is a rogue nation.
Osama, Saddam, Noriega, Pinochet, the Shah, the Contras:
CIA clients all.
Iran had a parlimentary democracy until the USA went meddling. You are meddling still.
But, if America is a democracy, and if its populace knows that, in a small and ever-shrinking world, it will be held accountable for wars that its government initiates in its name…then maybe there is a chance that the generals and the people themselves will stop treating other countries in a way that America itself would never countenance being treated.
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:25 pmIt’s past time for a 2 state solution. This is a lie that delusional people tell themselves. Israel and the west will always be superior powers and Muslim communities will always have the rebel who throws the first stone or crosses the picket line and brings the rockets reigning down again from Israel. Get real. What an absurd lie that there will be 2 states.
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:28 pmNo, it would be traitorous not to say something.
Comment by Lily
Well I hope the story is not true. Because if so then what I saw in that video was a bus blown up that was full of people…. which is exactly like that crap you see in Israel and the Palestinian areas. Are we going to participtate in this way of acting simply because it is ok over in the middle east to do that to peope?
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:28 pmOn the up side, it will only be a couple of weeks until they totally F this up.
They’re incompetent, and they can’t help it.
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:31 pmEinstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:36 pmBeginning of the end.
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:41 pmHardly the beginning.
But definitely, the end.
Google “The National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive” aka NSPD 51, and HSPD 20
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:55 pmOk, folks. What would you say if Iran had covert operators inside the US and outside the US working to take down our government.
Bush is a madman. We need to do something to stop him before it is too late.
May 22nd, 2007 at 9:05 pmLandSurveyor…when we liberals get rid of the current government I will find you and send you to the gulag i will build for all you reichwingnutchristofascistimperialist pigs…count on it….yes, payback is a bitch, baby…and we are going to get revenge on all you traitors to the Republic….you can follow bush and chaney in chains as we march them to the guillotine in front of the washington monument ….
May 22nd, 2007 at 9:15 pmyou can’t discount the fact that this is an extreme measure announced publicly in order to provoke Iran or set them up

These clowns are so arrogant. This is an act of war and a war crime on its face and not only violates several international agreements the US is still party to, it violates the U.S. criminal code, specifically, Title 18, Part I, Chapter 118, Paragraph 2441 - War crimes.
May 22nd, 2007 at 10:01 pmBush calls his brand of state sponsored terrorism “covert action”, but is certain to put your name and mine on it while his henchmen suffer from the “I don’t recall” syndrome. There is certain to be a place lower than hell for these inhuman creeps. Amazing the depths these troglodytes will sink to for another dollar. Justice demands they be stopped from perpetrating more crimes against humanity. In Jesus’ name we pray.
May 22nd, 2007 at 10:40 pmOk, folks. What would you say if Iran had covert operators inside the US and outside the US working to take down our government.
I would say it’s time to wipe Israel off the map.
Oh, sorry, I meant Iran.
May 23rd, 2007 at 12:13 amEither way, who should wipe a country off the map? You? Heh, nobody is scared of you.
May 23rd, 2007 at 12:24 amThey don’t have to be scared of me; I am not constructing nuclear weapons to wipe countries off maps. Ahmadinejad, unfortunately, is.
May 23rd, 2007 at 12:35 amm12, can you tell me just how powerful Ahmadinejad is? Is he not just a convenient demon for you?

Just like the rest of us, you’re simply a suspected terrorist. That’s why your $0.99 bottle of water is taken away from you at the airport and why the NSA needs to look at the phone records of tens of millions of Americans…phone records that likely include yours.
Idiot.
May 23rd, 2007 at 1:20 amIm sick of this covert action, its time to take real action. They are building nukes and we are letting them get away with it! I know that killing terrorists is bad and all, and preventing the next 9/11 is evil, but blood will be shed, and it is far better theirs than ours.
May 23rd, 2007 at 3:06 amThen join up Gmoney, you pathetic hag.

He’s powerful enough to be constructing nuclear weapons underground, ready for use around the year 2010.
May 23rd, 2007 at 9:56 amHasn’t the CIA been trying to knock down hostile governments for years?… Aint that kind of their reson d’etre?… Their track record in Iran is dismal, though.
A quick reminder. Ahmadinejad did not maneuver his way through the meritocracy of Iranian politics simply to throw his country into a nuclear armegeddon. Despite what some Americans believe, Iranians do not choose their President by holding a “Who’s the biggest suicidal loon?” contest.
May 23rd, 2007 at 10:17 amSounds to me like a declaration of war.
May 23rd, 2007 at 10:48 amYou don’t have to invade to cause havoc and destruction.
Let’s see what China does in response.
This has been going on for 2 or 3 years now. Why “leak” it to ABC, et. al? BECAUSE SOMEONE WANTS IT LEAKED, that’s why. It is sad when one cannot even trust a word one’s own government puts out.
May 23rd, 2007 at 10:51 amWell, if the US is going covert in Iran, I hope planners don’t consult with that loser, sell-out, Jimmy Carter. His track record for security ain’t the greatest……………..

As opposed to Bush’s excellent track record in the Middle East…
May 23rd, 2007 at 4:46 pmWe don’t stand a chance with these idiotic tactics. We actually launched the poorly conceived “war on terror” as new offsensive strategy in the battle with Russia for control of Iran and Iran’s sphere of influence. And anyone with brains could have figured that it would backfire. How a few loonies were able to hijack the decision making of U.S. foreign policy and steer it in this direction is beyond me. In terms of good geopolitic strategy, Iran is the most important country to have in your court, and it seems like the loonies have permanently pushed Iran into the Russian court.
May 23rd, 2007 at 10:19 pmHmm, some kind of “bad cop, worse cop” it seems. Cheney, of course, wants us to go in militarily. He’s worse. GW, realizing that “a military strike has more downsides than upsides,” takes a, ehem, measured approach by entering a sneaky war, with possible military consequences. He’s bad.
Hmm, on thinking about it, it might serve a purpose to make such a thing up, and leak it to the press. It would keep the Iranians on edge, and that’s not a bad thing. I don’t tend to believe that GW ever does something that serves any purpose that I can imagine, though. He’s failed me too many times.
May 23rd, 2007 at 10:52 pmGOOD! Now it can be done without bloodshed. The people of Iran HATE the mullahs regime which has brutally and savagely crushed their freedoms at every level, persecuted women, workers, ethnic minorities, students, and all democratic voices. Iran can be a great democracy, and example and pattern for the rest of the middle east to follow. No one deserves and is better suited for it than Iranian people who have shown their steadfastness, intelligence, and culture throughout history. The Theocracy of Tehran is just a tiny dot in history, and will soon be obliterated from the face of the earth. But Iran will flourish afterwards. Just wait and see it happen.
May 24th, 2007 at 12:59 amGOOD! Now it can be done without bloodshed.
Comment by Ira
But it won’t be bloodless. Yes there is strong feeling against the mullahs but by giving it direct support we basically legitimize the crack down the government is sure to launch against it as well as undermining anyone who expresses these feelings in the eyes of other Iranians. It enables the the regime to brand any supporter of democratic reform as a US agent and turn the general population against them. The result is not on the Iranian regime killing and torturing people, but also strife between various Iranian political factions possibly leading to civil war. Although Civil war is unlikely because the US actions will probably have the effect of uniting Iranians behind their governement. Thats what forigen agression does to a country. You see it in Iraq, you saw it in the US when we were attacked on 9/11 and you see it all throughout history.
Democracy has to grow from the grass roots, and it is in Iran, although as I understand it, to a lesser extent since the War on Terror was launched.
Iran can be a great democracy, and example and pattern for the rest of the middle east to follow.
Thats what Iraq was supposed to be.
May 24th, 2007 at 9:35 amI feel bad for all the americans in Iran now… Might not be a good time to be an american in Iran. Cant believe that ABC would put our own soldiers at risk. However, I can believe that we would send in CIA to help the overthrow of a foreign gov’nt all without the american public knowing.
