The Dutch intelligence service, the AIVD, has called off an operation aimed at infiltrating and sabotaging Iran''s weapons industry due to an assessment that a US attack on the Islamic Republic''s nuclear program is imminent, according to a report in the country''s De Telegraaf newspaper on Friday.


The report claimed that the Dutch operation had been "extremely successful," and had been stopped because the US military was planning to hit targets that were "connected with the Dutch espionage action."


The impending air-strike on Iran was to be carried out by unmanned aircraft "within weeks," the report claimed, quoting "well placed" sources.


According to the report, information gleaned from the AIVD''s operation in Iran has provided several of the targets that are to be attacked in the strike, including "parts for missiles and launching equipment."


"Information from the AIVD operation has been shared in recent years with the CIA," the report said.

Some Facts concerning Palin. Look them up yourselves.

Who is Sarah Palin? Here''s some basic background:
She was elected Alaska ''s governor a little over a year and a half ago. Her previous office was mayor of Wasilla, a small town outside Anchorage . She has no foreign policy experience. Palin is strongly anti-choice, opposing abortion even in the case of rape or incest. She supported right-wing extremist Pat Buchanan for president in 2000. Palin thinks creationism should be taught in public schools.
She''s doesn''t think humans are the cause of climate change.
She''s solidly in line with John McCain''s "Big Oil first" energy policy. She''s pushed hard for more oil drilling and says renewables won''t be ready for years. She also sued the Bush administration for listing polar bears as an endangered species-she was worried it would interfere with more oil drilling in Alaska. How closely did John McCain vet this choice? He met Sarah Palin once at a meeting. They spoke a second time, last Sunday, when he called her about being vice-president. Then he offered her the position.

I guess you radical democrat posters never get tired of your packs of lies, you certaily aren''t ashamed of them.

I just read a series of posts below that the sleeziest scandal rags would be embarrassed to consider printing, yet you slanderous morons rush to put them over your screen IDs.

To write such a list of vile lies about a woman who has worked hard in the public service of her state, fighting corruption and pork barrel spending, is the lowest of the low.

It going to be hard to scrape the slime clean from this web page!

You Republicans have outdone even yourselves in these past few years, conning Americans and the world, raping our ecology, plundering our fiscal resources and all but destroying our American way of life.

Be gone, fascists. And take your monkey with you.

Friends don''''t let friends vote RapePublicCon

What a bunch of mudslingers. Our judicial system is "supposed" to be right until priven wrong. Some people would vote for the devil if he was a member of their political party. Well, from the looks of the remarks already posted maybe.......??? Why not support the person or persons who will uphold America''s standards, willing to fight or make peace as the occasion dictates? Can you find anyone that doesn''t have some problem in their family that they would rather not have made public to the world? When someone accepts leadersip in our government they are well aware they will be scrutinized very thoroughly but they decide whether or not the cause is worth the fight. Apparently Palin decided America is worth standing up for even if i causes embarrassment.

Wonder why Guiliani is bumped off from schedule of RNC convention tonight?

Is it because of his infamous general practice of questionable ''sweetheart exchange deals'' that may be illegitimate and or criminal?

For example, it is alleged that during the 90''s, NYC Mayor Guiliani lessened felons'' jail times in exchange for crimes committed on his behalf without public scrutiny or suspect while he enjoyed the publicity of crimefighter.

Did anyone hear whether his protege Bernard Kerik, ex-NYPD commissioner got 140 years of jail time for his mob-related activities?

Will ex-mayor Guiliani get Kerik to commit one of his own crimes/murders in exchange to lessen Kerik''s 140 years of jail time?

If so, wonder which opponent is Guiliani targeting today and how? Car tampering and accident? A gun shot? Food tampering?

And would Kerik utilize his mob ties to do it?

Out of Alaska- the biggest welfare state....

From the sweet little town of Built with Earmarks...

Comes the good Christian Mom with cleavage in Vogue Magazine...

From a holy roller church that speaks in tounges and faith healing...

Who is really not even a Republican but hails from the Alaskan Independence Party, a radical anti-USA movement of crackpots and woodsy weirdos...

That flip-flopper on the Bridge to Nowhere, with political ties to the indicted Senator...

Who has foreign policy experience chasing off Russian polar bears and walrus...

John McCain is proud to present to you Governor, for a few months anyway after getting only 48%, Palin a person he wants you to place a heartbeat away from a 72 year old president with a history of cancer...

We are proud to place in nomination Gov. Palin whose primary qualification is her gender, a Republican Party Affirmative action hire- Sarah Palin!!!

[Governor Palin%u2019s] oldest girl is rumored to have actually been the one who had the last baby, the one with Down%u2019s Syndrome. She was taken out of school the last 4 or 5 months of her mother%u2019s pregnancy.

On March 5th, 2008 Alaska%u2019s Republican Governor, Sarah Palin, announced to the media that she was 7 months pregnant with her 5th child. She is currently 44.

Palin%u2019s daughter Bristol is 16 and attends an Anchorage high school. Students who have attended class with her report that she has been out of school for months, claiming a prolonged case of mono.

Palin does not appear pregnant in any recent photographs. The announcement came as quite a shock to people who had worked closely with her, and have been quoted as saying that she did not appear pregnant whatsoever during the prior 7 months.
