This ought to fire you up

Military analysts said the disclosure of the plans could be intended to put pressure on Tehran to halt enrichment, cajole America into action or soften up world opinion in advance of an Israeli attack.

As a side note, and given the nature of this forum, where do you think the Isreali submarines are? Perhaps the IAF is the diversion.


Or perhaps, it is taking military contingency plans of the sort that every single country in the world has on file and using them to terrify people.

Not really. I've been waiting for it to actually happen for a while, surprise it still hasn't. I'm personally not at all averse to this solution; and Israel should now that they're the ones most threatened by this.

However, American experts warned of repercussions, including widespread protests that could destabilise parts of the Islamic world friendly to the West.

I'm on the left-wing side of things, but I'll still be the first to agree that this "friendly" is, well... :hmm:

Damn nuke strikes in Iran? Later a battle is comin.

Looks like the US Congressional left/leadership is behind the idea.

Hoyer said the use of force hadn't been taken off the table.

I just love top secret attack plans.

Go Israel go! Someone has to stop them, or we will all deeply regret it later. It is that simple.

Some sources in Washington said they doubted if Israel would have the nerve to attack Iran. However, Dr Ephraim Sneh, the deputy Israeli defence minister, said last month: “The time is approaching when Israel and the international community will have to decide whether to take military action against Iran.”

GO ISREAL GO!!!

I fully support a nuke strike...

Everyone is so worried about "the fallout" and the "Humanity" of such an attack...

Let me ask you this: Do you honestly believe that making nicenice with Iraq or Iran , for that matter any of those Islamic run countries , will stop them from wanting your infidel head on a platter?
If you do ... go there and try to make nicenice ... please...

As I recall from about this time last year folks were saying there will be a war with Iran and the troops will be going in soon. And here we go again, I would not be surprised to hear this again next year. :hmm:

Exactly. If it's top secret, how the hell do they know about it? They don't.

It all comes down to the fact that any country prepares for any instance of any conflict. The fact the Isrealies prepare for a nuke scenario is part of what having nukes, bombs, or even any conventional or non conventional training is about. THey must be prepared for any action the government asks of the military.

Any idiot that doesn't think the Americans or Russians don't practice drills on launching their nukes at each other is living in fantasy land!

[baggygreen]

Um, i think its more US and China rather than US and Russia. I think its pretty well established that were Russia to try anything, their rockets would more than likely home in on the Kremlin as well...

Why not just drop more bunker-busters and keep dropping them untill the facility must stop working because of the random crumblings?

A tactical nuke sounds like the easy way out. I say the IAF and the USAF join forces with anybody else interested to do 24h bunker-buster bombing on these facilities. Remember WW2? Remember Bomber Command? The IAF attacks during daylight, the USAF floods the night with B-2's, B-1's, F-117's if there's still any left and whatever else.

After a few days the facilities will have to halt production because it's only a matter of time untill all corridors and rooms collapse on top of anybody inside. No reason to leave the infrastructure leading to the place intact either. Bomb the roads, railways, powerlines, send in SpecOps to sabotage the water line and shut it down.

Well, this plan would be far more expensive but who cares? I'm e-mailing it to the Pentagon.

You would have to beat the Russians telephone call to Iran and by the time you got there everything would have been moved so you are just bombing empty facilities.
