There is obviously a world wide conspiracy by rodents to overthrow the human world. In many places in the world, rodents outnumber humans by three or four to one. Even higher in undeveloped countries. now, if squirrels can form a pact with other rodents, especially rats, then the results can be devastating. Even more interesting, if rodents have developed technology to spy on humans, we could be in grave danger in the future. So humans beware! You thought all you had to worry about were other humans.

On second thought, it wasnt to long ago I was told about a secret plot by the U.N. to invade the U.S.A. and spying with black heli-copters.

Because the lady squirrels were not wearing Burkas, there is speculation that these must be foreign squirrels.

We were using an older model surveillance system with the squirrels. Unfortunately two of them began to mate and the resulting cacophony drew attention to themselves. After the two were arrested, they squealed on the others and their cover was blown. Their handler is especially disappointed as he raised some of the agents from birth. From now on we will strictly use our best operatives - sandflies.

That’s a little strange to say the least. Not the whole spying rodents, but rather people actually believing it? I’m conflicted...Maybe if someone were to spy on Venezuela, they would use flying squirrels (sugar gliders). Chavez should keep an eye out...Good job to the authorities, who apprehended the rating rodents, though they should keep an eye out for those pesky camel spiders, I hear their more hardy to the desert weather. On a more serious note, Iran should be concerned with developing or purchasing advanced radar systems; there may be a more “legitimate” espionage threat from that avenue; as capabilities for spying can be found in space and at altitudes of 60 miles. Still yet independent companies have tried to develop artificial bees fitted with cameras beaming images and information to satellites, then transferred back down to earth for processing and development. So squirrels with who knows what attached to them could be used, but I would put my money on tracking devices, similar to those on marine wildlife; so we can see and study their territories and habits.

Amen to hiring them to secure our southern border. If they can catch that many squirrels sneaking across their border, I'd love to see what they could do for us. But it does raise an interesting question...who? Ahmadinawhatever is crazy, but I can't help but think he's a little more clever than blaming tree rats for his country's ills. I knew that spy agencies in the west had been getting cut back, but again, that much? And I'd hate to think that the Russians gave the US so many problems using techniques like this. It could be the crab people.

It is a joke! Obviously, I rehab squirrels and there is no way in hades that you could get a squirrel hooked up with spy equipment and expect it to stay on the squirrel.
A researcher tried to put radio collars on squirrels for a PHD thesis, and the squirrel (with the collar on) would get another squirrel to chew through the collar so he could be rid of that nasty thing around his neck.
Squirrels are pretty darn smart, unlike some of the people who have commented on this article. And they must not proof read their entries either.

First, let me correct D.W. Iran is no piddle pile of sand. But their leader is nuts. And who could put something like squirrel spying past a neighboring 2nd world country. What they should do is send a suicide gerbal into a government meeting and get rid of all the lunatic clerics running the country. Then a people's government would have a chance, not the handful of rodents who run the country

Maybe you guys don't know this but there have been actual experiments run by the CIA in this country using implanted radio transmitters in cats and dogs to spy on others. The transmitters implanted in cats did not use a microphone at all the microphone was the very eary itself it a tiny microchip was attached to the workings of the inner ear to make the thing work. Best highest fidelity mic ever conceived. So yes it possible. now what is dificult is to keep the darn critters still around the area where you want to spy on.

What a gulli-Bull!!! Most of the world already knows that preposterous stories such as this one really are scraping the bottom of the barrel for a news story. Instead of reporting some good or vital information that could be useful or informative, rubbish like this makes the headlines for this blog. Iran must be running out of things to accuse the West of spying on them with. They capture a boat with British sailors in it and accuse them of spying on them now they are saying squirrels are spying on them. The only question that has gone unanswered is "were they four-legged squirrels or two-legged squirrels?" Maybe those squirrels exhibited more intelligence than the Iranians could and it alarmed them to such a degree that they had to cry "foul!!!" Send in the pigs next time!!!

Well, we've finally come full circle. George Bush has given up on the surviellance using cell phones and cameras and is testing a squabble of squirrels (20) to be our new front line in Iran. If they should get caught they are told to drop their nuts and run. Also, I understand that the Iranians have come up with a cute little tiny hood for TV spots and the local swordsman has opted out for the new Ronco 2500 which is guaranteed to cut off up to 175 squirrel heads before resharpening. Bush has also bestowed the Order of the Jaws to the tiny rodents that make it back to the states. At a state dinner one of the squrrels was overheard to say " Man, these nuts taste just like chicken".

"Rocket J. Squirell and a tall, moose like companion are on holiday at an unnamed resort near the Caspian sea. Rumors they are in Iran are malicious lies!"

OK, Seriously, how uneducated does a society have to be for a lie like this to be publically accepted?

This proves beyond all doubt that lack of basic schooling in sociology, history, and governments makes people easily victims for the regimes that deprive them of proper schooling. Ten years of studying a "holy" book does not educate people, it merely indoctrinates them.

Universal education, and a good one at that, is required before people can "vote" or understand the principles of democracy.

But then, it's the same situation here--the papers/TV/Net "news" are full of left/right propaganda and people believe it if that's how they're leaning. But who knows if the impression is even correct? How many people did the journalist have to interview in order to find that many Nimrods? The media is full of these kinds of tricks.

This is amaziing. Why must the imperial nations spy on iran with squirrels. The Amrerican empire must recognize what it is doing around the world and reign itself in before it destroys itself. Don't you see what's happening. The military industrial complex is draining us as America once again tries to become the policeman and savior of the world. Smaller government, lower taxes, less entanglements in the affairs of others is the path to prosperity. Believe it.

Iran's spying squirrels?

Tom — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 22:28:46 GMT

The squirrels were parachuted into Iran (the flying squirrel team was unavailable) on July 4th. They've been trained in desert survival and they seek out the smells of certain spices that are only used by the military in Iran.

The camera and transmitter is coupled with other remote sensing equipment and is actually powered by a small generator that works off the motion of the squirrel (like a self winding watch). This is very low power and requires the tasking of a LEO (Low Earth Orbit) reconnaissance satellite into stationary orbit over their approximate location in order to relay the signals.

Since the program inception in 1986 the size of the equipment has been reduced and the efficiency has been increased to the point that the squirrels can operate indefinitely.

I hate to contaminate the sea of sarcasm here, but this is really not that absurd at all. While you guys are laughing at the thought of a spying squirrel, I guess this might be a good time to let you know that scientists at MIT are developing a robot housefly that's supposed to carry out the same purpose. Also, biotechnology has matured to stages where we can actually bring about the concept of a spying squirrel to life. I won't be at all shocked, if the U.S. government was responsible for this.

Allen Barker, Newport News, Va. — Sat, 21 Jul 2007 06:19:45 GMT

No one with any knowledge of the history of such operations, such as the CIA's "Acoustic Kitty" project from the 1960s, would instantly jump to ridicule. The Chinese recently announced some research involving the control of pigeons. That didn't get the propaganda ridicule-response...

The CIA's MKULTRA program from decades ago researched the remote-control of animals for use in the delivery of chemical and biological agents. That's not all that funny, is it?

Whether these squirrels were really controlled or not is impossible to say given the limited information available. Maybe it was all a psychological operation -- a PSYOP -- designed to make the Iranians look ridiculous. Seed a few hints to the right people so they "arrest" some squirrels. Who knows. Maybe the
Iranians are just getting jumpy and paranoid given the threats that they have to take seriously.

But the basic principle is a reality, and it is not funny at all. That it is taken as a joke and portrayed as a joke only reveals the ignorance of the American public (and the American media if they really don't know).

Ally Hauptmann-Gurski — Sat, 21 Jul 2007 06:25:34 GMT

Maybe Iranians have their first of April on the fourth of July???
Maybe the squirrels were from Britain, but we must take a good look to verify that. Indiginous British squirrels are red. However, quite a few pet squirrels have escaped in Britain and being a stronger species, they pushed the British squirrels to the brink. They are larger in size, have stripes, and come from North America. Last time I looked they had no stars.
Thailand has squirrels as big as rabbits, they would carry the biggest load, I guess, but their interest in Iran is probably nil.

Rats would be better at spying. They scurry in and out of sewers, buildings, et al. Plus, if they die, then you would know they ate some of that tainted food coming from China. You can sell rats as pets to spy on everyone. Ever seen squirrels treated as pets? Nope, so what's the point - squirrels are expendable where people are not. But, did the Iranians torture the squirrels to find out who sent them? Probably not since squirrels are so squirrely to begin with - like flopping their tails all the time to whisk away the poop smell from running around on the dirty ground.

Hmmm, we have squirrels that get into the birdseed ... I usually just grab a slingshot and a small rock.... they tend to leave after getting beaned on the head, but keep coming back, even more covert. I don't think I'd be taken seriously IF I tried to take them downtown for Shoplifting (stealing the birdseed). So far .. I haven't noticed any new tactics to their reconnaissance missions from the squirrels, but that doesn't mean they aren't planning on retaliation. I may have to catch one to find that information. I'll have to subject it to various techniques so as to figure out their master plan against humans and other creatures. They could be trying to destroy the bird kingdom by stealing all the birdseed in the world. My neighbors are also on the alert.

Who said the war on terror is a lost cause? Obviously this squirrel situation is proof that victory is just around the corner. First of all, they weren't squirrels at all. They were actually boy scouts dressed up in squirrel outfits. We have secretly been training the them for years to blend in with their surroundings. It's a shame, however, that they were caught. Now, none of them will earn their Espionage badge. Second, the very fact that these so called "squrrels" actually made it to the border without being detected is proof that our training camps are now producing a better quality soldier. Finally, although unreported by the liberal press, these "squirrels" have sent back valuable photo coverage (http://upload.wikimedia.org/ wikipedia/en/d/dc/Rocky_bullwinkle_tracks.jpg) of a secret Iranian railroad track being used to bring in large quantities of radioactive material.

Capturing the fast evil squirrels must have been difficult enough, but trying to hold them down still while putting on the little handcuffs must have been an ordeal. Being a radical Islamic state, they are probably demanding the squirrels convert to Islam or be cooked and eaten.

I think we should send in the Flea and Lice teams, they are harder to detect and capture, and I bet they could easily hide sadiki's beard and other "furry" regions without detection to capture some serious secrets .... Taliban (etc.), beware, we will use every rodent, reptile and insect in the US and waste all our resources training them to spy on you, even though You dont really have much to spy on...We just like to watch sand anyways......

Wow, how ASSine are those Iranians ? They are certainly MULEish. Can you imagine how the authorities DOGgedly FERRETted out those treasonous tree RATs with CAT AND MOUSE tactics? Obviously, considering it took two weeks, some of the pursuing agents were just HORSEing around. Next we will read about the CATTLE stampede rush to form a KANGAROO court which will PIDGEON hole the purported perpetrators as VIPERS against the State. Surely there must have been a MOLE in their midst. Perhaps they will be aquitted and LIONized by their BULLDOG defense team when it is proven they were in possession of only the newest iPods (they are, after all, young, upscale and affluent social TIGERS). If convicted, however, they could be in a real stew. My experience is they taste like CHICKEN.

Fools! It is all part of an elaborate misinformation campaign by U.S. military intelligence to make Iranians look like idiots preceding a grand military invasion of Iran. They are playing right into our hands. The first wave are the special operations trained squirrels. They will strategically place sensitive electronic eavesdropping equipment. Next, our air campaign will consist of autonomous robot mosquitos carrying the deadly Mississipi virus. We will protect the Persian Gulf by patrolling Sharks with "frickin' lasers" mounted on their fins. Then for the ground invasion. Vicious Shitzu Poodle hybrids will simultaneously launch major ground operations East from Iraq and West from Afghanistan. Once our invasion is complete we will put some ass in charge of reconstruction. It is part of Operation "Iran sofaraway", according to Flock of Seagulls.

Whoever used thosed squirrels are lacking intel strategy. He should have realized that squirrels are squealers, just give them some burka nuts and they'll sing. Next time, you intel guys should instead use invisible purple roaches. These roaches can teleport anywhere and beam messages to the moon via sattelite through the planet called Apesun. Apesun intel people can them transmit those messages to the apes in Virginia.

It is true that U.S. Inteligence services are recruiting squirrels, as well as other rodents. The squirrels received 15,000 nuts for signing onto the program, We haaven't been told yet what the rodents sign up bonus was, but there is a common thread to this story. A majority (almost 87% of those recruited) of both the squirrels and rodents are bitterly complaining that the Veterans Veterinarians Services are a disgrace with even the most common tail bandages and prostetics in short supply. There have been reported cases where injured squirrels have been leaving the VVS hospitals with rodent tails, and in Dahlia province rodents have been seen with squirrels tails, and this has caused a large sectarian killing of both species because the native squirrels and rodents can tell that their kind have been working for the Americans or the Brittish.

Terroist America and Criminal Britian who are in an inferior position in the world due to population, natural resouces, land etc are using technology and war to stay a little ahead.

Rodents conditioned and fittted with elecronic gear can surpass almost any soley techinical means of surviellance.

But why are America and Europe so concern about nations ten thousand miles away? Why are America and Britain staring all of the wars and conflicts in the world then lying to their own populations as to the causes?

The world is poor beause of Europe and America; the entire planet can be bountiful if the wars and war mongering could stop. Every human being must call for Monies and scientific research to be diverted from war and channelled into food production and housing and sustainable development. Every single person on the planet can live like a millionaire.

Iran's spying squirrels?

American Triedandtrue — Sun, 22 Jul 2007 14:43:45 GMT

How about a serious moment. Squirrels, like other small displaced animals gravitate towards human settlements to forage for food. They could be instrumental in tracking, say, that movement of military or expeditionary squads. Depending of the type of gear they are outfitted with, there could be imaging, sound or intercepted radio transmissions. "Some people" want us to look at these possibilities as cute little funnies. the truth is that with unauthorized wiretapping and all kinds of spy stuff that has been around since the Cold War, why are so many of us so willing to write these things off as a joke? Remember, the "officials" said, "Iraq attacked us and has weapons of mass distruction (like ours)!", they lied and over 3000 of America's sons and daughters were killed on foreign soil. Next there was, "We don't torture prisoners.", then there was Abu Ghuraib. These days, the only nuts are those who don't question and consider the possibilties, and then demand accountability.

Everyone knows that these are "genetically enhanced super squirrels" developed with the DNA of Secret Squirrel and Rocky(Bullwinkle's sidekick). I would bet that the Bush administration is behind this one.

Stranger than fiction? But much of our current day lives was considered that way. If the squirrels were as tame as some of you say you have experienced, and if they roamed where key figures were known to meet for lunch or breaks...well, who knows maybe the ?squirrels" could pick up choice "nuts" of information among the usual chatter of people? Video cameras and mic'c are made super small these days!! Think about it...It's funny on the surface BUT sometimes Life IS Stranger than fiction!!! LOL

Jeff Fisher — Sun, 22 Jul 2007 15:10:54 GMT

Truth be told, the Irainian border guards or soldiers that caught the rascially little rodents weren't really trying to catch the squirrels. They were actually sneaking out of the country and were afraid that the little varmits caught their escape of video. The soldiers/guards snatched the critters up and destroyed the tapes before turning them over to the government. But this isn't the amazing part, the amazing part is that the soldiers did not use the squirrels to fill their empty stomachs...

I am truly devastated, here in Italy we go to great lengths to train our squirrels.

Now to learn from Iran that the Brits have apparently won the the squirrel spy race, is really tragic. It's back to squirrel spying 101, very sad.

Still, we should remember that it shows the mindset of conservative Iranian leaders, and these are the guys who are fanning the flames in Iraq, where our soldiers are dying in an effort to put THAT country on an even keel. Insanity, absolutely. But not to be dismissed as trivial.

Squirrels are in cahoots with the Varmint Cong as clearly pointed out in the film Caddyshack, however, that country is a sand trap that gophers were not suited for. Therefore the next obvious choice was the little known black ops unit SSF that operates in blatant disregard of international law, treaties, and just about every convention of the International community. The UN Security Council should take action.
