First Rule of Covert Ops Club

Posted By Uncle Jimbo

First rule of Covert Ops Club is there is no first rule of Covert Ops Club, situation and mission dictate.

The biggest disconnect in our current public debate about Intel is between the words of the left about it and their willingness to do what is needed to achieve their avowed goals. They talk a good game about how we need to have accurate information so we won't get fooled again, but they reflexively oppose any concrete steps toward gathering or acting on on it.

The same clowns who yowled about warrantless searches and waterboarding and Gitmo and Gulfstreams, are the first to complain that we don't know enough about Iran's nuke program to justify Tomahawking their facilities. I agree that we don't have enough intel, and I propose that we detail just exactly what steps we are willing to take in order to find out. Let's see if they really want an option to direct military action. Obviously no classified info or techniques and the Iranians already know what we can do, this is for our leaders in DC. I'll start, but please chime in with more suggestions:

Recruitment of Iranian Scientists and others as agents- I assume we are actively engaged in this but I would hope we are spending money over there like they won the lottery. Free gifts for all my Uranium-enriching friends. I would also target family, government opposition (HA!), and would be recruiting every Iranian studying in the US. Oh boy would I be working on them, hookers, booze whatever they want. Then we send them back home to see how much it sucks, and wait for the coordinates of the nuke facilities to arrive via email. I would also tap any and all electronic communications by Iranian students and run it through the same computers the NSA uses, oh and don't feel like I'm picking on the Iranians there are plenty of other countries students we should be eyeballing also.

The rest of my cunning plan:
