CIA 'preparing public for Iran war'

The CIA accuses Iran of 'facilitating the killing' of US troops in Iraq in what is seen as another attempt to prepare the public for war.

In a Wednesday lecture at the Kansas State University, CIA Director Michael Hayden claimed that slaying US military forces has become the political strategy of Iran's highest governmental officials.

"It is my opinion, it is the policy of the Iranian government, approved to highest level of that government, to facilitate the killing of Americans in Iraq," maintained Hayden, just a day after the US steamed a second American aircraft carrier into the Persian Gulf.

"Just make sure there's clarity on that," the CIA director continued.

His comments come at a time when a recent CBS report indicates that the US Defense Department had ordered military commanders to develop new war plans against Tehran, a claim echoed by top American analysts.

"I believe George Bush and Dick Cheney plan to take care of Iran before they leave office," former CIA analyst Ray McGovern said in an interview published in the Charleston Gazette on Wednesday.

"There's no doubt in my mind that the United States is planning right now, as we speak, a military strike against Iran. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and almost every senior US military official has pretty much acknowledged the same," former UN weapons inspector and now anti-war commentator Scott Ritter had told Democracy Now on Monday.

The US steamed its second aircraft carrier into the Persian Gulf on Tuesday in what Washington has termed a 'reminder' of US power.

Senior US officials have been accusing the Iranian government of helping the spread of violence in Iraq without providing any concrete proof.

Pundits, however, say recent 'Washington hype' is a reminder of US preparations made prior to the Iraq war and signal efforts to prepare the public for a war on Tehran while shifting the blame of US failures in Iraq onto others.

I think it was party other than Hayden but in CIA who said that the Iranian behavior with regard to Iraq will require American military action to let them know we mean business. He suggested a limited naval exchange would be most likely. I would not be at all surprised to learn we bitch slapped Iran. We do it from time to time to remind them its best not to mess with us. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Praying_Mantis

lol - well - we metaphoricly have with the second carrier.

Iran doesn't respond to many influences. Having their navy sunk again may be a threat they'd take seriously.

Yeah but that was 20 years ago. You don't think this is a bad idea when we already have two open campaigns going on.... one rather unsuccessfully ?

Which one is going well, Afghanistan? You might want to read up on how things are going there.
