Kucinich Questions Bolton on US Troops Already in Iran


I haven't seen anything in the news media on this or
in the thomas congressional record yet, but I did hear
this on the Randi Rhodes show last night, May 2.
>From what I gathered, dissident groups in Iran
admitted to Iranian authorities that US troops are on
Iranian soil already.  Bolton was questioned on this
and stated to Congressman Kucinich that he didn't work
for the Defense Dept., so he knows nothing.

Kucinich To Use Tuesday Hearing To Question UN
Ambassador Bolton About US Troops Already Operating In
Iran 
Government Reform Subcommittee On National Security,
Emerging Threats and International Relations Hearing
With Ambassador Bolton Set For Tuesday, May 2nd 


United States Capitol Building at Night 



  
Washington, May 1 - 

Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH), Ranking Member
of the House Government Reform Subcommittee on
National Security, Emerging Threats and International
Relations, will use a Subcommittee hearing on Tuesday
to question the United States Ambassador to the United
Nations, John Bolton, about US troops already
operating in Iran. The hearing is set for Tuesday, May
2nd, in 2154 Rayburn House Office Building. 

Recently, Seymour Hersh reported in The New Yorker
magazine that US troops are already operating in Iran.
Air Force Col. Sam Gardiner (Ret.) has made similar
statements on CNN. 

Kucinich will use Tuesday's hearing, officially about
the United Nation's Oil-for-Food program, to question
Ambassador Bolton about the presence of US troops in
Iran, the ramifications in the region and the effects
on diplomatic negotiations.
