THE Pentagon has drawn up plans for massive airstrikes against 1,200 targets in Iran, designed to annihilate the Iranians’ military capability in three days, according to a national security expert.

Alexis Debat, director of terrorism and national security at the Nixon Center, said last week that US military planners were not preparing for “pinprick strikes” against Iran’s nuclear facilities. “They’re about taking out the entire Iranian military,” he said.

I hate leaks as much as anyone, but this story still brought a smile to my face.

Hopefully this was a “planned” leak, not a loose canon.

The plan will work only to the degree that the Islamofascist Fifth Column inside the United States is picked up and incarcerated for the duration.

This is so vague. The Telegraph publish the entire US/Iraq war plan in December in 2002 and it didn’t make any difference.

“Alireza Jafarzadeh, a spokesman for the National Council of Resistance of Iran, which uncovered the existence of Iran’s uranium enrichment plant at Natanz, said the IAEA was being strung along. “A number of nuclear sites have not even been visited by the IAEA,” he said. “They’re giving a clean bill of health to a regime that is known to have practised deception.”

Is this suppose to surprise us?(I know it doesn’t surprise any freepers)
The IAEA,under the leadership of an egyptian muslim; El Baradei, has allowed Pakistan to get the nuke, North Korea to get a nuke, Saddam to get away with a WMD program and deception for 12 years, Gadafi/Lybia to pursue weapons programs and now Iran is on the verge of getting a nuclear weapon and we are suppose to put our faith in the IAEA and the UN!!!

Can someone please wake up and smell the enemies of this country gathering against us?....PUHLEEEEASE

The UN can’t even keep up with the WMDS they do find around the world!! They leave them lying around in closets at the UN....LOL

Give Me A Break!

After seeing post 10 I thought you said Incinerated, but your Idea will do in a pinch:)
