Default US 'Iran attack plans' revealed

http://newsbbc.co.uk/

Is this for real? I just get a strange feeling this is not on the ball so too speak.

Yes and No. I guarantee you that the US has had these "plans", so to speak, since Akmadinijad had attracted the attention of the NSA and CIA. I can also say with confidence that there are the same type of "plans" that have been drawn up for North Korea, Venezeuala, and every other nation viewed by the US intelligence service as a potential threat. Think of them as a pre-made battleplan for use only if worst comes to worst and we get into war with Iran. As for it meaning a imminent attack, no; they are only precautionary.

I suppose that's one way to warn Dinnerjacket off, it's not as if there's much he can do to prevent such a strike. Except shunt a few SAMs about and pray to Allah.

It's not real if it doesn't include the anti-Palestinian Nano-Bee.

The BBC is basing this article on "diplomatic sources."

Reading through it, it seems to be the sort of plan I'd have expected them to do, focus on the nuclear facilities but also take the opportunity to hamstring the Iranian military capability, thus knocking back their involvement in Iraq, because, let's face it, if they're not aiding Iraqi insurgents then Dinnerjacket is an idiot, it's the perfect thing to do in the situation if you can get away with it...which so far he has.

Now, the UN deadline for Iran to stop its nuke enrichment is tomorrow....ten will get you twenty they'll still be going at it on Wednesday, so that's one trigger pretty much squeezed...then there's the next large scale attack by Iraqi insurgents on US forces, well, that could happen any day now...

Place your bets folks....I'm thinking March....it seems to be a popular month for military attacks in that area....


And on the other side of the dust cloud...well...IF they do manage to knock out the reactors, it'll knock back their nuclear weapons program significiantly...but what are their chemical weapons facilities like? Throwing a quick google, it seems they have chemical facilities...so...what are the chances of a chem missile being lobbed at *checks Google Earth* Sulaymaniyah, or perhaps Kirkuk from one of Irans Scuds....somewhere reasonably close to the Iranian border to lessen the time to intercept...

One thing's for pretty much certain, this attack does take place, you can kiss goodbye to those Kilos at Bandar Abbas I bet the US Navy has been itching to do away with those for years

If the US are actually planning an attack, I just hope they don't act unilaterally.
