Article from today's Guardian about Iran: Bush is now declaring that a regime change in Iran is needed (whether they are aiming for nuclear weapons or not). More worrisome is the former CIA member stating that there are already US Special Forces operating in Iran.

[Text from the Article]
Vincent Cannistraro, a former CIA counter-terrorism operations chief said covert military action, in the form of special forces troops identifying targets and aiding dissident groups, is already under way.

[Text from above Link] Vincent Cannistraro, a former CIA counter-terrorism operations chief said Mr Bush had not yet made up his mind about the use of direct military action against Iran.
However, Mr Cannistraro said covert military action, in the form of special forces troops identifying targets and aiding dissident groups, is already under way.
"It's been authorised, and it's going on to the extent that there is some lethality to it. Some people have been killed."

[Text from above link] They are planning for a global conflict that, Washington believes, will dominate the next 20 years. The Pentagon calls it the "long war": an integrated military, financial and diplomatic campaign against al-Qaida and its affiliates that will eventually span the globe, shaping the lives of the coming generation much as the cold war defined the baby boomers.
