I do think you are right on this one.
One of the issues, with running military (secret) ops, is the 'mouth issue'.
I mean, we're not talking CIA here. These are (true red and blue) regular citizens who choose to join the military.
Regular people have regular mouths that blab, regularly. It's human nature; hence, the reason most military soldiers haven't a clue why they are
doing what they are doing, they only know what their mission, immediate job, or specific task is. They are never, ever, given 'reason'.
In fact, that's part of their initial training; 'Don't ask about it, just
DO it!'
BTW, this 'whole situation' is 20+ years in the making. We (the U.S.) didn't just 'happen upon' the borders of Iran.
These past few years are part of a very (militarily) strategic plan to position ourselves for the 'real' war.
This is all part of an overall strategic goal. None of this started with Bush (it's kind of funny how so many of you think it certainly did).
Although many will disagree, the U.S. (currently, the most powerful country in the world) does NOT run on a four year business plan. It's more like
a 25/50/100 year plan.
In fact, most of the worlds' powers have the same (if not longer) tenured plan.
The immediate, and current, charade of political puppetries is the 'Marketing' part of the business plan. Please, for all you ATS'ers, don't
give yourselves away to the (always) current and (always) popular blame game.
Step back, for a second, and really ingest what is being forcefully fed to you.
Bush, nor our current Administration (including Congress and the House) has any control over what's currently being played out. (I like to think of
the U.S. President as being very similar to my high school President. They are both elected to make the changes they've promised, but neither have
the power to control change or overall policy and decision.
Edit: I have an injured hand and it's taking me a while to type and post. (I totally sliced off multiple layers of dermis, while trying to open
that damn plastic casing found around razors (and DVDs). I got through the 'casing', with violent force, and sliced a major chunk out of my middle
finger across the triple blade of tje razor, on my dominate hand. It still hasn't stopped bleeding!!!
