Seymour Hersh says U.S. Special Forces in Iran

Seymour Hersh, who exposed the My Lai massacre in Vietnam, and more recently scooped everyone with the Abu Ghraib scandal, says U.S. Special Forces are operating in Iran. Apparently they're softening up the joint, targeting nuclear installations and missile sites.

Well, that's just great. You'd think the pit the U.S. dug itself into in Iraq would be a small clue as to the stupidity of this initiative, but no, evidently not. The White House said his report is 'riddled with inaccuracies,' which I think is code for "damn, he's onto us."

Update: Here's Hersh's New Yorker article.

Remember during the election you said it was only a matter of time before America's boys were tromping through Tehran, looking for weapons that may or may not exist? Well.....

Well... if the US starts shit in Iran then we can officially refer to Iraq as "Hornet's Nest Junior."

Do these people have some sort of funhouse mirror that tells them this is a good idea? Is it called "Clowny the Right Wing Bastard who's Crazy in the Head?"
