The violation of a sovereign nation's airspace is an act of war in and of itself. But the war with Iran has gone far beyond the intelligence-gathering phase.
President Bush has taken advantage of the sweeping powers granted to him in the aftermath of 11 September 2001, to wage a global war against terror and to initiate several covert offensive operations inside Iran.
The most visible of these is the CIA-backed actions recently undertaken by the Mujahadeen el-Khalq, or MEK, an Iranian opposition group, once run by Saddam Hussein's dreaded intelligence services, but now working exclusively for the CIA's Directorate of Operations.
It is bitter irony that the CIA is using a group still labelled as a terrorist organisation, a group trained in the art of explosive assassination by the same intelligence units of the former regime of Saddam Hussein, who are slaughtering American soldiers in Iraq today, to carry out remote bombings in Iran of the sort that the Bush administration condemns on a daily basis inside Iraq.
Perhaps the adage of "one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist" has finally been embraced by the White House, exposing as utter hypocrisy the entire underlying notions governing the ongoing global war on terror.
To the north, in neighbouring Azerbaijan, the US military is preparing a base of operations for a massive military presence that will foretell a major land-based campaign designed to capture Tehran.

I believe the Bilderberg group wanted to invade Iran in June/July (This year)
I bet this war already has started...just like Iraq did months before it actually started, A top weapons inspector has also said this....Ritter....forget his first name.

Reporting? Maybe.... Journalism? Loosely....can we say EXTREME bias? Yep. True Fox news is hardly the bastion of truth, but Al Jazeera often outright lies...
Though, in this case, it wouldn't surprise me if they are at least partially correct in this story. Bush has made it perfectly clear that he has NO problem stooping to the same moral level....whether torturing prisoners or detaining kids at Gitmo. I'm absolutely ashamed that my fellow countrymen re-elected this borderline retard as our representative....
He wrote last week: "Iraq's support of terrorism was minuscule compared to Tehran's activities. If we are serious about winning the war against the terror masters, the Tehran regime must fall."
A British intelligence official said that any campaign against Iran would not be a ground war like the one in Iraq. The Americans will use different tactics, said the intelligence officer. "It is getting quite scary."
