In an overlooked story, the Turkish press reported last week that CIA Director Porter Goss went to Ankara recently and informed the Turkish government that Iran already has nuclear weapons and they should be ready for "a possible US air operation against Iran and Syria". | I was out of the office last week and must have missed this |
During his recent visit to Ankara, CIA Director Porter Goss reportedly brought three dossiers on Iran to Ankara. Goss is said to have asked for Turkeyâs support for Washingtonâs policy against Iranâs nuclear activities, charging that Tehran had supported terrorism and taken part in activities against Turkey. Goss also asked Ankara to be ready for a possible US air operation against Iran and Syria.
Goss, who came to Ankara just after FBI Director Robert Muellerâs visit, brought up Iranâs alleged attempts to develop nuclear weapons. | Hummmmm, both CIA and FBI visiting? Hummmmm.... |
It was said that Goss first told Ankara that Iran has nuclear weapons and this situation was creating a huge threat for both Turkey and other states in the region. Diplomatic sources say that Washington wants Turkey to coordinate with its Iran policies. The second dossier is about Iranâs stance on terrorism. The CIA argued that Iran was supporting terrorism, the PKK and al-Qaeda. The third had to do with Iranâs alleged stance against Ankara. Goss said that Tehran sees Turkey as an enemy and would try to âexport its regime.â | There was that other story today about Iranian backed terrorists being convicted of wacking Turks. Interesting |
