#2 They'd tried to infiltrate the NYT, but they weren't anti-American enough to get hired.

#3 From Global Security's page on the IRGC:

The Office of Liberation Movements has established a Gulf Section tasked with forming a Gulf Battalion as part of the Jerusalem Forces. Tehran's objective was to destabilize Arab Gulf states by supporting fundamentalists with military, financial, and logistical support. Members of these and other organizations receive military training at a Guardians of the Revolution facility some 100 kilometers south of Tehran. A variety of of training courses are conducted at the facility for fundamentalists from the Gulf states, Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, and Lebanon, including naval operations, mines, and diving operations in a special camp near the Orontes River.

#8 Fifth columnists also planted in US, UK, Australia, Canada and other western nations.

Saddam had fifth columnists agitating against Iraq war. I know this to be true as i met one.

I went to an anti war rally with a megaphone and shouted "you're wrong, it's not about oil'' when they screamed 'no blood for oil'.

At end these people tried to hassle me and my friend. One was an Iraqi man who had hooked up with the green-left members of Resistance.

He tried to tell me how life was grand under Saddam, no such things as torture and executions. When I became suspicious and asked him if he was a Ba'athist, or connected to the government, he became very defensive.

All the little lefties were videotaping/photographing me and my friend.

Then some bloody Palestinian women started screaming and running at me and my friend to attack us. The police had to hold them back and we had to move on or we'd be arrested for disturbing the peace/causing riot/affray.

So much for *my* democratic right to protest. It's ok if you're "anti war" but look how they act!

The fifth column agitates with the left wing and at universities to get the impressionable.

#9 Iran has trained secret networks of agents across the Gulf states to attack Western interests and incite civil unrest in the event of a military strike against its nuclear programme

Two for price of one.

#11 Iran Has Planted Fifth Columnists Throughout The Gulf States [Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Saudi Arabia, Qatar ..]

The article itself sounds a little to pat, like disinformation.

Sure Iran has agents wherever they set up business and I do trust that they'll be predictably sneaky, But "trained secret networks of agents across the Gulf states ready to to attack Western interests and incite civil unrest.."

pffft they Leapt outta the woodwork and attackt-ted us.

If they did I can also picture the Soddies turning the Shia comunities red, with Shia blood.

..wheat from the chaff

#12 Such a scenario would bring chaos mass detention and expulsion of Shiites to from the Gulf, one of the few areas of the Middle East that remains prosperous and has largely pro-Western governments.

Fixed.

#13 Can't say a whole lot, but this isn't a surprise. We've known about Iranian Revolutionary Guards infiltration of Iranian refugee groups throughout the West since at least 1983. I'm sure we know who MOST of the ones in the US are. I HOPE the Saudis and the rest of the Gulf States have kept track of their own fifth columns. I think Iran is in for a surprise if they "activate" these "sleepers". It won't make any difference to the bombs dropping on Iranian nuclear production facilities, military compounds, ports and harbors, and other military and economic targets.

Our worst mistake in dealing with Middle East terror outfits was in NOT being nasty enough. All we had to do was to pick out ONE TARGET and show what an ARCLIGHT strike can do. The Iranian mullahs would be whimpering under their beds for the rest of their lives, and we wouldn't have so much trouble in places like Ramadi and Fallujah. The threat of that kind of total destruction would have made a great difference. Whoever made the decision to "play nice" needs to be stripped of whatever rank or position they had and kicked out the door - no pension, no retirement, no severence, no anything. We're paying for it now, and will continue to pay until we "get mideival" with these a$$hats.
