Cheney's Office Considered Disguising Navy Seals As Iranians To Provoke War

Last edited Tue Jun 18, 2019, 05:35 PM - Edit history (2)




from a 2008 Think Progress article:
Hersh: There was a dozen ideas proffered about how to trigger a war. The one that interested me the most was why don’t we build — we in our shipyard — build four or five boats that look like Iranian PT boats. Put Navy seals on them with a lot of arms. And next time one of our boats goes to the Straits of Hormuz, start a shoot-up.

sounds like some old ideas have been revived

And what would happen if they got killed by return fire?

That would require quite a coverup.
