Retired Colonel: ‘We Are Conducting Military Operations Inside Iran Right Now. The Evidence Is Overwhelming.’
Just now on CNN, Air Force Col. Sam Gardiner (Ret.) said, “We are conducting military operations inside Iran right now. The evidence is overwhelming.”

Gardiner, who taught at the U.S. Army’s National War College, has previously suggested that U.S. forces were already on the ground in Iran. Today he added several additional new points:

1) The House Committee on Emerging Threats recently called on State and Defense Department officials to testify on whether U.S. forces were in Iran. The officials didn’t come to the hearing.

2) “We have learned from Time magazine today that some U.S. naval forces had been alerted for deployment. That is a major step.”

3) “The plan has gone to the White House. That’s not normal planning. When the plan goes to the White House, that means we’ve gone to a different state.”

1. The House Committee on Emerging Threats?

Where have I heard that sort of jargon before? (HUAC, anyone?)

How about:

The Committee to Protect the Homeland.

The Joint Task Force for the Grave And Gathering Threat.

The Armed Forces Subcommittee on Shock And Awe.

The Commission to Protect Your Family From Being Killed.

The Joint Committee on Mass Murder...?

2. If We're in Iran right now,

Then why are people so afraid of what Iranian retaliation might look like?

Sounds like this guy is discussing spy ops -- possibly to sabotage those naval weapons we've all heard so much about. If war happens and the Iranian response fizzles, don't be surprised.

Either that or the CIA is, in fact incompetent, has no special forces guys, and is just putting up flyers trying to get in touch with small "revolutionary" activist groups.
