CHENEY'S SECRET IRAN OPERATING GROUP
The Office of Special Plans ( OSP ) fed tainted intelligence directly to Dick Cheney in the run up to the war with Iraq with the objective of regime change.
The Iran-Syria Operations Group (ISOG), has been set up by Dick Cheney's daughter with the same objective of regime change in Iran ~ with a direct line to Dick Cheney.
The real objective of OSP was to justify a war with Iraq which is most likely the case with ISOG.
Are there any doubts as to who is running this country and who George answers to. The Center for American Progress filed this revealing memo today.

IRAN -- RECENT COVERAGE FAILS TO NOTE ADMINISTRATION'S CREATION OF SECRETIVE IRAN GROUP:
American Progress Report / Under the Radar / 6/11/06
Remarking on the recent coverage by the Washington Post and the New Yorker on the Bush administration's preparations for a military strike against Iran, Lawrence Kaplan, a senior editor at The New Republic, writes that "absent from either account...is any mention of the State Department's ramped-up campaign for regime change in Iran -- a campaign that intensifies by the day."
According to Kaplan, the administration has formed what it calls the Iran-Syria Operations Group (ISOG), a body headed by Vice President Cheney's daughter, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Liz Cheney, and whose purpose is to encourage regime change in Iran.
The State Department's Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs is disgruntled by the Bush team's efforts to run its own Iran shop and skirt the traditional bureaucracy. The administration's pre-Iraq war creations of the White House Iraq Group (WHIG) and the Pentagon's Office of Special Plans (OSP) may suggest one possible answer for why the administration feels the need to set up a secretive Iran operating group.
OSP was created to cull intelligence to make the strongest possible case for war with Iraq, while WHIG helped market the war based on the selective intelligence the administration collected.
Cheney is operating with more than $75 million at her disposal to ostensibly promote democracy in Iran.
