Romney, Tancredo “Shocked” CIA Outed, Not So Shocked Over “Peaceful” Plan to Destabilize Iran Kurt
Nimmo
Of course, for Romney, Tancredo, and a whole lot of other Republicans and Democrats, there is nothing wrong with “covert action” in Iran, that is to say destabilizing the country through terrorism and funding outlaw political groups. “The ABC News story reported that President Bush had given the CIA authorization to conduct a nonlethal covert action against Iran involving propaganda, disinformation and the manipulation of Iran’s international banking transactions,” reports Brian Ross. No word on the other stuff Bush has authorized, or the fact reported earlier this month that the “governments of Saudi Arabia and the United States are working with other states in the Middle East to sponsor covert action against Iran,” including “covert attacks … against Iran’s oil sector,” according to Michael Roston. In fact, as Seymour Hersh reported in early 2005, Bush gave a wink and nod to the Pentagon, allowing them to run “operations off the books,” unchecked by supposed legal restrictions imposed on the CIA. Under “new rules,” the “Special Forces community” have created “action teams” in “target countries overseas which can be used to find and eliminate terrorist organizations,” no problem if said “terrorist organizations” were elected by the people of the “target countries.” It was the New York Post headline, however, that really took the cake: “CIA Launches ‘Peaceful’ Plot to Take Down Iran’s Maniac,” Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. “The plan is designed to peacefully pressure Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad—who has called for Israel to be wiped off the map—to cease the enrichment program, which could lead to the development of nuclear weapons, and stop aiding terrorists fighting in neighboring Iraq,” never mind Ahmadinejad never called for Israel to be “wiped off the map,” it is fully within its rights under the NPT to engage in nuclear enrichment, and there is no convincing evidence Iran is “aiding terrorists,” i.e., freedom fighters, in Iraq.
The CIA, naturally, does very little by way of “peaceful” intervention, as John Stockwell, former CIA Station Chief in Angola, under then director Bush Senior, revealed in 1987. According to Stockwell’s estimation, the CIA, as of the late 1980s, was responsible for killing around six million people in “secret wars” against third world nations, that is to say “covert action” of the sort we are assured is now peacefully carried out against the elected government of Iran. Add to the total the million or so killed through medieval sanctions against Iraq under Bush Senior, Clinton, and Bush the Junior, and Junior killing an additional 700,000 over the last few years, and you have crimes approaching those of the Nazis, responsible for killing 15 million, although “Uncle Joe” Stalin apparently rivaled this number by killing over 20 million people, and Mao Ze-Dong’s “cultural revolution” claimed nearly 50 million human souls. At any rate, the CIA, under various presidents, is a top drawer organization when it comes to killing people off in large numbers. Since one needs to be a psychopath to rule the nation, or be considered to be selected to rule the nation, it is hardly surprising Mitt Romney and Tom Tancredo are “shocked” over ABC News decision to run this story. Imagine, however, if the shoe was on the other foot, if a news story had slipped out revealing Iran launched “peaceful” covert action designed to destabilize the Bush administration. Every yahoo in the country would be in the streets demanding Iran be reduced to a glass parking lot. But then, it was Madeleine Albright, Clinton’s Secretary of State, who declared: “If we have to use force, it is because we are America. We are the indispensable nation. We stand tall. We see further into the future.” In other words, if we have to kill seven or eight million people, including babies and grandmothers, and overthrow elected governments, target hospitals and water purification plants with cruise missiles, spread around cancer by way of depleted uranium, so be it. ---------------------------------------------------

“I was shocked to see the ABC News report regarding covert action
in Iran,” Mitt Romney told reporters in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Meanwhile,
Tom Tancredo, the Colorado Republican who likes the idea of water boarding
kidnapped sheep herders and dirt farmers, called for an investigation
into who leaked the information and “condemned” ABC News for
“running the story which could jeopardize American lives.”
