Report: U.S. to order limited raid on Iran

(Published: June 3, 2008 at 9:10 AM)

WASHINGTON, June 3 (UPI) -- The United States is moving closer to ordering a limited attack on Iranian Revolutionary Guard installations, a military intelligence group reports.
The operation would target training camps and munitions factories that assist Iraqi insurgents, Hezbollah and terrorist groups in Gaza, DEBKAfile.com, a military intelligence Web site, reported Tuesday, quoting sources in Washington.


The rest of the piece continued the story.  There was no mention of the credibility of similar heavy breathing.  Shame on the UPI for being so sloppy.  The article should have mentioned:

- The same web site was certain that when the United States invaded Iraq that chemical and biological weapons would be used.

- In December 2003, DEBKA told us that the capture of Saddam was faked by the United States in order to generate a good story line.  According to them, he had been held prisoner before the staged incident.

- In August 2006 DEBKA told us that on August 22nd of that year a mega-terrorist act would take place in Jerusalem killing large number of Jews, Christians and Arabs.

- In October 2006 we were told Syria and Iraq were on the verge of attacking Israel to prevent a US strike on Iranian nuclear facilities.

We should have been given a warning of the past lack of credibility.  Shame on the UPI.
