According to information gleaned from a senior source in the Iranian armed forces joint chief of staff, logistical support for the groups that would participate in the plan comes from Brigadier General Qassim Suleimani of the Revolutionary Guards al Quds Brigades. "Most of Iran's visitors in the last four months, including the heads of Hezbollah cells in the Persian Gulf and Europe and North America were asked, when they met with the Iranian intelligence minister and his aides: Are you ready to defend the Islamic revolution? "If you agree to take part in the great Jihad, what would you need to be ready for the great fight?...
We'll, I let out a pretty good scream when I read it - still getting strange looks around the office.
Codenames Stennis and Eisenhower.
You are talking nonsense. Bail us out? Maybe you have forgotten world war two, but it was US that stood up to the nazis, not "the US".
As for BRITAIN not having the marbles, did we have marbles when we stood by you on Iraq? Or Afghanistan?

Where in the article say that?
"US non-PC plan name (unofficial): Operation Waste-Their-A$$es."
I thought it was called:
"Operation Help-The-Nutjob-Find-A-Virgin"?
Welcome to FR! From your screen name, I take it you've been lurking for quite some time... (either that, or you've recently adopted a new name)
Yes, some of us here need to learn how to 'read' UK official statements.
I meet with UK soldiers on a regular basis. No panty-waists, at all. I would *hope* that we Americans could show the resolve that Britian did during WWII under a similar level of threat.
On the post side of WWII, you do not get a feel for what the UK went through. I know very well. My family was still there.
Brits usually understate, Brit diplomats severely understate, but you better have your OED handy, as they will hand your ass to you with a velvet glove.
Before you go hammering on the Brit's keep in mind that the Iranians are playing a big part in actually killing our soldiers in Iraq. What steps has the United States taken to put an end to that?
The USA did stand up to the Nazis, it just took us a while to get into the fight. :)
The early days of WWII were indeed Britain's finest. Seldom have so many owed so much to so few, and all that.
The many includes the USA, or should. Had Britain rolled over or been conquered in 1940, as the other European countries were, the American attack on Germany would have been infinitely more difficult, arguably impossible, at least before the A-bomb came along.
The leadership of the entire Anglosphere has been taking estrogen.
After all, I remember an Iran Hostage situation that lasted over four hundred days, with nothing being done at all, until a certain treasonous (deleted) left the White House, only to later continue to be a public nuisance.
Iran is a joke. We should just nuke them along with Syria.

* U.S. bases in Iraq and the Persian Gulf region to be struck by Iranian missiles.
Fired from where? The United States' 1st act would be to take out ALL known missle sites.
* Suicide attacks in a number of Muslim countries against U.S. embassies, military bases, economic and oil-related facilities tied to U.S. and British firms, and targets in countries allied with the U.S.
LOL! I'm sure the security around said installations will be at a premium.
* Attacks by Revolutionary Guards and Iraqi insurgents loyal to Iran against U.S. and British forces in Iraq.
LOL! Isn't that what they're been doing for almost 4 years already?
* Hundreds of rockets launched by Hezbollah against pre-selected targets in Israel.
Israel would make those parts of Syria and Lebanon a smoking ruin in less than 24 hours.
* If U.S. military attacks continue, more than 50 Shehab-3 missiles will be launched against Israel and 50 terrorist cells in the U.S., Canada and Europe will be given approval to launch attacks against civil and industrial targets in those countries.
LOL Make our day, Mr. Nutjob!
* Maximize civilian casualties with germ agents and "dirty bombs."
And this will help Iran's case in the United Nations how?
Build on the flanks of Etna where the sullen smoke-puffs float
-Or bathe in tropic waters where the lean fin dogs the boat
- Cock the gun that is not loaded, cook the frozen dynamite
- But oh, beware my Country, when my Country grows polite!

Not to get into a pissing contest mate, but DDay would not have happened without the U.S. WWII would have been lost without the U.S. and U.K. However, you are severly misguided on who stood up to who. To exclude the U.S. is nonsense. Typical arrogance.

I was hoping for codename "there used to be an Iran here"
