Ray McGovern on Iran

From a deep operative -

I attended a lecture given by Ray McGovern one time. He is a former CIA guy and he knows his stuff. He is still in communication with many CIA coworkers and such. So he is quite up to date, his sources are good.

Ray explained that he does what he does, going about the country and speaking against Bush and company, because he has a firm belief in a moral responsibility to the country. Ray does not want to see a war with Iran. He tried very hard to expose the lies that ran us into Iraq.

He has even taken on Rumsfeld.

Unlike the attack on Iraq five years ago, to deal with Iran there need be no massing of troops. And, with the propaganda buildup already well under way, there need be little, if any, forewarning before shock and awe and pox -- in the form of air and missile attacks -- begin.

This time it will be largely the Air Force's show, punctuated by missile and air strikes by the Navy. Israeli-American agreement has now been reached at the highest level; the armed forces planners, plotters and pilots are working out the details.
