Foreign Press: Operation TIRANNT (Theatre Iran Near Term) Plans Updated

[CorpGovActivist]

This appeared in the Washington Post last April: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/14/AR2006041401907.html

Several foreign press outlets have run updated stories about the TIRANNT plans in recent days: http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=tirannt&tab=wn&filter=0

A number of progressive and anti-war sites have also picked this up in recent days: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=tirannt+iran

Figured DU ought to be clued in, too; could be nothing more than standard war planning, or it could be something more concrete. The foreign press coverage is intriguing.

1. I see an AWFUL lot of "news organizations" on that list that clearly are not such.

PS: You can find a lot of ANYTHING on Google...

2. What's Your Take on the Washington Post Piece?

I agree that many outlets have to be taken with a grain of salt, but the Washington Post is usually pretty thoroughly sourced.

Maybe we'll see official denials or protest letters to the editor from our ambassadors in those countries where recent stories about TIRANNT have run?

4. Our military is ALWAYS making plans for EVERY possible scenario so no, I'm not alarmed.

Trust me, they have plans for fighting Canada.

It's part of their job to make plans. Doesn't mean they're intending to carry out any specific one.
