If this is true, the leakers should be rounded up and publicly executed!

[MrBambaLaMamba]

Damn hypothetically /tear

[TaxachusettsMan]

I wonder how the Weenie Boys (and Bruiser Girls) at Time and Newsweek will adjust when the Islamo-fascists arrive at their offices in the name of the ruling mullahs of the Islamic Republic of America, take away their pink neckties (boys), and their comfortable pants suits (girls), get out the headtowels and the burkhas, and begin the "re-education program" that will "assist" them in converting into full and proper "Islamic Journalists" ?

About the only delicious fantasy associated with the coming jihad.

The US Army is planning an airstrike of 1,500 targets?!

[RobFromGa]

How in the hell does the NYT let itself get scooped on such a treasonous leak? Heads will roll in the NYT for letting this one get away.

[contemplator]

The simple fact of the matter is that the U.S. has plans on the table for almost every conceivable contingency right down to how the US might react if the Grand Poobah of Bamboozlestan were to cut herself while shaving her elbows during the annual run of the Albino Aardvarks, 99.9999% of those plans will never ever be needed.

And Iran, in turn, is preparing staged pictures of injured civilians and demolished hospitals and orphanages.

[Beckwith]

cohabitating with a nuclear Iran

Same as cohabiting with an AIDS-inflicted partner.

Bound to come to no good end.

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.

[HonorInPa]

Nothing more than psyops. When better to have this show up in the papers than when Ahmediwhackjob is in NY to speak.

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

[Sender]

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".

[Mike Darancette]

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.

[Kuehn12]

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?

[ladyinred]

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!
