The Pentagon and U.S. Central Command are updating military plans to strike Iran's nuclear sites, preparing up-to-date options for the president in the event he decides to take such action, an Obama administration official told CNN Sunday. The effort has been underway for several weeks and comes as there is growing concern across the administration's national security team that the president needs fresh options ready for his approval if he were to decide on a military strike, according to the official who is familiar with the effort. The official did not want to be identified because of the sensitive nature of the work being conducted. Meanwhile, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad continued to amp up his rhetoric against the West on Sunday, claiming that Iran is so powerful today that no country would dare attack it. "Iran's army is so mighty today that no enemy can have a foul thought of invading Iran's territory," the Iranian leader said in a speech, according to state media.
The Iranian leader has had choice words for Obama and other Western leaders, especially after not receiving an invitation to the nuclear summit hosted in Washington last week. Obama has been pressing the U.N. Security Council to slap Iran with tougher sanctions for its nuclear ambitions. Iran says that its nuclear program is intended for civilian purposes. In January, Defense Secretary Robert Gates wrote a classified memo to the White House raising concerns about whether the administration had a sufficient policy in place, along with military options, for stopping Iran's progress in getting a nuclear weapon, the official confirmed.

Obama will SURRENDER, Monday evening, during a Prime time Joint session of Congress.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama fought alongside Iran AGAINST Israel.
Unless Imanutjob becomes a Republican he is totally safe from Obammy.
Popularity going to record lows, wag the dog is definitely possible.
Maybe we can just throw the DOJ lawyers out without a parachute.
Right, as much chance as declaring a federal tax hiatus for 4 years . And the enemy KNOW it.
What a dipstick this guy is... How come Gates wasn’t aware?
His ‘inner muslim’ will NEVER allow him to do any harm to any of the 57 states-!!
Lol. I loved that movie when I was a kid.

Thanks DukeBillie.
I’m guessing that Hussein’s new plan includes lots of apologizing.

“The 37th Airborne Messkit Repair Platoon is being readied as we speak.”
