Iran “will soon join the club of countries with nuclear technology,”

[Mach .78]

You obivously don't understand what I posted. But that is okay. I am not interested in furthering your education.

I am not interested in having you teach me. Tell your underground I said hi. I have intel as well, but it is so fresh and devoid of media hype it hasn't been declassified yet. Sorry guys, can't share. Stop blowing smoke up our a**. Your one upmanship makes me want to throw up. If you know so much, why aren't you on the CIA Forum? CDB, You are hilarious. Classic post. Bio, Your condescending smilies, lol, lol all of the time, are you for real? This forum isn't where former F.B.I. directors come to vent.

Let's see here. You posted:

So I have access to unique intel and analysis. Just a hint. If you want to know what is really going on, do not rely on the media. Do not rely on bookworms. Go straight to 'the eyes on the ground'.

Learn foreign languages. Travel to live among them. Be one of them. Becareful who you approach for info. As rule, the higher up the source is, the less useful info he can offer you. They tend to distort and twist what they say in a calculated attempt to convey something. So you are not getting the truth from these people. When the information is published in the media, it is either old news and is totally distorted, tainted and biased. Worthless for the most part.

The best info is from the rank and file, ordinary nobody who are at the frontline everyday dealing with the real sh1t that is actually happening. They have the best insight of things and would be able to tell you untainted factual intelligence. Those are least biased info. But you have to be able to speak the language, know the culture and live among them as one of them.

Of course, you can't possibly learn every foreign language and blend in every culture. But you seek out your sources who can and build your network of informants. This takes a lot of time and a lot of effort. You have to have something valuable to offer or trade. Else you wouldn't get anywhere.

I speak several languages and lived abroad for many years. Interesting time it was.

Ok, I get it. You are going to boast that you can obtain info from places other than the Media or books, but you fail to come up with a legitimate source for us?
Watch this, Hey guys just got back from Vegas last night. Shared a room with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and had sex with 10 girls from the Brazilian National soccer team. It was a crazy couple of days, I tell ya.Well do you believe it or do you need proof? The internet is great for boasting but can you back it up? Did I comprehend you this time Professor? I understand what you wrote, you just can't provide proof.

You are that guy. Who is that guy you ask?
"Hey did you climb the rope yet"?
"Yep".
"Did you use your feet to help you up"?
"Yep".
"Well I climbed all the way to the top with just my hands".
"Really?, Show me".
"No can do, my Dad had me lift the front of the car yesterday so he could change a flat tire, now I have rest my hands for a least a week, I'll show you then".
Sure you will. lol

So... what kind of 'on the ground, factual info' have you brought us? What kind of insight you have harvested from real operators, about the topic, which is the Nuclear issue in Iran? Well? We are all ears!

Never claimed to have any. Still waiting for some from you ace. Perhaps you know the guy who knows the guy who once went to a marriage in Turkey? The lowest of the low, that's where the best information comes from by your own admission.

Funny, my experience with CIA case officers and agents who'd been in third world **** holes their whole lives, all they talked about was how to target high profile people in governments with weaknesses, sick kid, wife, family problems, etc., get them in a relationship and then corner them when they could and get the information they wanted in a trade of some sort, the info for your kid's life, you family's safe transport here or there, etc.

They never went after the bakers and barbers, maybe it's a resource thing. Also mentioned their jobs were boring as hell. Nothing about walking the walk, facing machete and hook or whatever the hell, just a lot of paper work and a risky move here and there all while playing a role. You're a big James Bond / Soldier of Fortune fan, aren't you?

C'mon. Tell us something we can't get from the news. Something that will subsequently be verified by the mass media.

Btw, please, no Foreign Policy Journal crap. Can't stand regurgitated rubbish. And please, no theoretical rubbish. I can get plenty of that at the bars around here.

On the ground in a forward position immersed in a network of spies and informants with a whole bunch of bars populated by theoreticians in tweed suits surrounding you. Sounds like a college. That explains a lot about your posts; the arrogance and barely submersed rage of being a neocon in a largely liberal community. Saldy enough I feel your pain on that. I was hoping to not care one way or the other about you forever. Interestingly enough though, it also explains the smilies.

Your skills as a troll aren't even good. In one post you dismiss all sources that can actually be sited (pesky bookworms) and attribute some magic, unverifiable higher authority to your 'sources.' An uneducated or inexperienced person might have overlooked that. Too bad anyone of even average intelligence who thinks about it for more than three seconds realizes how ridiculous it is.

Fun though, keep it coming! Let me know when the pope shows up and starts giving you secret information about Whoopi Goldberg and her plot to screw Marvin Hamlish in the Vatican.

Incidentally, if you have no time to debate and are so against talking **** on the Internet, why when I do a general search for posts under your name do the majority of them show up in the News and Articles and the Politics section of this site, and why do they all involve you talking **** to someone you disagree with, spending just as much if not more time slinging gutless, indirect insults as debating? Oh yeah! It's because you're a troll and that's what trolls do. I'll give you this, the type of insults you usually sling are the best ones to keep people coming back, you're just so bad at masking the intent. Got to work on that one brother. Maybe talk to one of your covert sources before they strap you down for the night. It can be fun I'll admit, I've had my share of flame wars on Usenet. I'm just thinking maybe these boards aren't the place for it and you're better off on the ignore list.
