Helped Prepare Imminent Attack On Iran
The "ultra-secret operation" had as its aim infiltration and sabotage of the weapons industry in the Islamic republic. "The operation, described as extremely successful, was halted recently in connection with plans for an impending US air attack on Iraq. Along with this, targets would also be bombed which were connected with the Dutch espionage action," writes the Netherlands' biggest newspaper.
"One of the agents involved, who was able to infiltrate the Iranian industry under the supervision of the AIVD, was recently recalled because the US was thought to be making a decision within weeks to attack Iran with unmanned aircraft. Among the potential targets were said to be not only nuclear plants, but also military installations that have been brought to light partly by the agency of the AIVD," according to the newspaper.
"Information from the AIVD operation has in recent years been shared with the American CIA secret service," the paper continued. "Various supplies could also be sabotaged and stopped. These were parts for missiles and launching equipment."
The article was written by Joost de Haas, known for his good contacts in the intelligence world. Earlier, he got hold of an AIVD report which suggested that corrupt powers within Dutch police corps supplied weapons to criminals to liquidate other criminals.

et, what do you mean that georgia may be the first step?
did you hear about the selection of sarah palin as the republican vp nom? "gold standard" right-to-life cred. the conservatives are super-pumped; mccain just might win after all.
that being said, does it seem to you that events are really developing fast? i can't believe how russia seems to be escalating, plus that whole mess in pakistan.
The last couple posts have links to articles that state that Georgia could be a run-up confrontation before the US and allies impose a trade blockade on Iran. A trade blockade is essentially a declaration of war with Iran. In other words, get Russia busy in the Caucuses, plant 10-20 NATO ships in the Black Sea, and they won't be as eager to defend Iran when a war starts in the Persian Gulf.
Yes, I heard about Palin. I pity the poor lady if the Republicans win again because we're headed into the most harrowing time in all human history. Is GWB going to hand off a Persian gulf war to the next administration? If so, this world is in for a whole lot of hurt.
You're right! Things are escalating very quickly. Israel and Iran are high speed trains on the same track, accelerating towards each other.
We know Israel wins every time, but the billion dollar question is - is this the last time?
et, use cation with that site globalresearch.ca; have you seen the retraction on that story? anyway, israel IS pushing for a blockade: http://tinyurl.com/6kqucg
i don't think the US pushed georgia into war. i believe it is just a step by the russians in the ongoing resource wars/positioning.
russia's only hope of regaining their superpower status is energy. unfortunately, theirs is running out. that's why they are out buying up everyones gas production.
for that reason among others, the US must maintain a strong presence in the ME. This goes all of the way back to FDR (also, remember the carter doctrine.)
currently, russia cannot challenge american/western hegemony in the gulf. but if the financial ruin rumors/speculation turn out o be true, the US and NATO might have to withdraw completely from the theater. this would leave russia free to complete a grand coalition.
it would hardly be a world war, though, if it were just russia/ME against israel.
i don't know how things are going to shake out but i have a pretty good idea that americas finances will be severely constrained in the not too-distant future, limiting it's response capability.
if only iran would provide the provication, i have no doubt GWB would leave several smoldering craters in its place,but barring that he will leave the problem to the next admin (or israel.)
Ya I hear ya about the globalresearch.ca website. They are 'left-leaning' to say the least. But some things don't add up:
>the retraction in that story was that "the Bush administration has not decided to carry out a naval surge directed against Iran immediately following the conduct of the North Atlantic War Games"... there's still time before the Nov. 4th US election to form a naval blockade in the Persian Gulf, if that's in fact, in the works.
>Sending 'humanitarian' aid to Georgia aboard the destroyer USS McFaul is just a bit "totally crazy" since it feeds Russian speculation that the US is re-arming the Georgians for the next conflict.
>From almost all reports, the Georgian conflict was started by Georgia, and Georgia's president, Mikhail Saakashvili doesn't even go to the bathroom without asking Washington for permission. So who really pulled the trigger?
>Defense Secretary Robert Gates was put in charge of the 'humanitarian mission' to Georgia(?).
>The statement by Georgia's president, Mikhail Saakashvili was interesting. He blames the west for failing to respond to the crisis. Somehow he expected a response. What gave him that idea?
Saakashvili is comparing the current conflict to Vietnam and he is saying the U.S. is also to blame. According to the AP:
"I feel that they are partly to blame," he said today, pointing a shaking finger at Secretary Rice. "Not only those who commit atrocities are responsible ... but so are those who fail to react", he said. Sounds like he was told to act and was betrayed, to me.
>The USS Mount Whitney is reportedly headed next into the Black Sea to provide "humanitarian aid", although permission from Turkey is not forthcoming. The USS Mount Whitney? The USS Mount Whitney is the 6th fleet flagship and the world's most advanced command and control ship. The Mount Whitney can receive and transmit huge amounts of secure data from any point on earth and provide intelligence and operational support as needed. Nice potential vantage point of Israel and Iran from the Black Sea, I figure.
>The Dutch article I mentioned in my last post is a bit curious. There's been rumors of an Iran war for months/years but the situation in the Middle East, I feel, is right at its flashpoint.
>The US won't blow Persia/Iran into oblivion to start things off, because Persia is supposed to instigate and make a move against Israel according to Ezekiel 38 & 39. How far away are we from that once military pressure is put on Ahmadinejad?
Top Iran General says an attack on Tehran would Ignite world war
your source in this post is confusing..AMSTERDAM, 30/08/08 - The Dutch AIVD secret service has had an ultra-secret operation underway in Iran in recent years. This has been halted in connection with plans for a US attack on Iran, newspaper De Telegraaf reported Friday.
The "ultra-secret operation" had as its aim infiltration and sabotage of the weapons industry in the Islamic republic. "The operation, described as extremely successful, was halted recently in connection with plans for an impending US air attack on Iraq. (Don't they mean Iran?)
Yes, that should be "Iran". I didn't even notice that. Fortunately I can claim that that is a mistake in the original text (and not one of my many) which was taken from the english language news service. (www.nisnews.nl)
