Remember the MSN cannot tell the difference between a C-130 and a F-15 (have seen them use the pictures intercahngalbly). They probably mean military, or just made most of the story up, who knows.

Not 6k if someone was to pop a huge EMP over Tehran about 100 miles up one night. This looks like a perfect time to see exactly how prepared they are for that kind of assault. Hey, they wanted to live back in the 10th century, let's show them what it was like.

Back in 2002 when debate over Iraq was raging, the lefties said don't attack Iraq. Iran is much more of a threat. So now if we aim to eliminate that threat, and take out Iran, will those same lefties approve? Somehow I think not.

Well, the LSM sorts at Time have to do what they can in the name of The Left leading up to the election. It's understandable and expected. I imagine the US military has also come up with hypothetical plans to attack / invade every country in the world in ever need be. I can only hope that a special cruise missile has been specifically programmed to fly straight up the whazoo of 'Imadinthehead' Iranian mullah puppet president. The guy needs a serious enema 'cause he's full of it.

It would be great if Iran's nuke sites were bombed right at the moment the Hilter wanabee starts his speech at the UN.

TIME is just blowing smoke out its ass. Any sources that would call TIME are diehard Bush-hating ideologues who would be out of the loop anyway.
It is not hard to deduce that the US has formulated plans to attack Iranian nuke facilities in the event that becomes necessary. To TIME, that is "news".

If this is true, Other than the "Army be ready by Oct. 1" part it undoubtedly is. We'd be stupid not to have plans to invade Iraq, or Pakistan, or Saudi Arabia for that matter.
During the time between WW-I and WW-II, we had plans to fight a Naval War in the Pacific. Multiple plans actually, depending on who the enemy was. The two major candidates were Japan..... and Great Britain.

I'm shocked, shocked that the US would have a plan for attacking Iran. Of course the US has plans for attacking practically everyone. I would imagine there is even a plan for attacking Canada.

I think that an attack on Iran would have serious and unforeseen consequences. It would also not be limited to an air campaign, and any of you are deluding yourself that air power alone would end the nuclear program in Iran. The war in Iraq took many turns and twists. Question: Would George Bush really attack Iraq if he knew that it would deteriorate into a long lasting low intensity conflict. Or, If he knew with certainty that the Mullahs in Iran would send thousands of Iranian troops into Iraq? Thus ending any hope of American troop withdrawal anytime in this decade. Here is a warning to all who think another war is what we need right now; EASY IN, HARDWAY OUT TOWARD THE LIGHT, WARS HAVE A LIFE OF THEIR OWN. BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU TREAD BECAUSE WE ARE NOW RESPONSIBLE FOR PART OF TWO NATION'S HISTORY TO ADD A THIRD WOULD BE A TREMENDOUS BURDEN ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. ARE WE READY FOR IT?
Iran is also a much large country with alliances with Russia and China, and that is not to say they wouldn't hang Iran out to dry. However, things could go the other way. Would China allow American troops on its southern border and would Russia abandon its economic interest in Iran so easily?

Valid concerns, certainly. What do you think the consequences will be when Iran completes an arsenal of nuclear weapons? Do you believe the Iranian nutjob will use them on Israel or the USA to usher in the islamic messiah that he espouses? Are you willing to risk American lives on the assumption that he won't?

The United States should bomb Iran's nuclear sites and also it's oil wells and pipelines. Pound Iran into the stone age.
To: Aussie Dasher
We had to "attack" Europe, when it was overrun by the Germans. Anything is theoretically possible.

Now, they are saying we can contain Iran. OR, just a few months ago, they suggested we attack NK. The only wars they seem to be for the US conducting are the ones she is planning on doing soon.

Well why don't we just announce it to them ahead of time so more of our soldiers can come home in body bags? These pieces of dirt are TRAITORS and should be treated as such!
