WASHINGTON - We are told by senior US military officials in Baghdad that deadly new "explosively formed penetrators", which have killed 170 US soldiers in Iraq, are "coming from the highest levels of the Iranian government". George Bush himself is saying that "if Iran escalates its military action in Iraq to the detriment of our troops and/or innocent Iraqi people, we will respond firmly". Pentagon correspondents were simultaneously being briefed about how the Pentagon has contingency plans to use B-2 stealth bombers to launch 400 cruise missiles at 50 targets in Iran...
Your thoughts on this, Fennie?
Do we really need to be that reluctant (afraid?) to use tactical nuclear weapons to take out strategic targets in Iran?
Wake Up America, Before It Is Too Late!!!
We could use the MOAB.
That's the author's theme for this US-bad-Iran-no-problem article.
Iran has been steadily raising the ante while we stand pat.
Well, I think regardless of how visually exciting a glassified Iran would be, we won’t need to use nukes to pacify them. It actually is a similar problem to Iraq...their military will be very easy to be in a short amount of time, but what comes after is the real challenge. Iran is proving to be quite adept at covert operations world wide.
