THE Pentagon has drawn up plans for massive airstrikes against 1,200 targets in Iran, designed to annihilate the Iranians’ military capability in three days, according to a national security expert.

Alexis Debat, director of terrorism and national security at the Nixon Center, said last week that US military planners were not preparing for “pinprick strikes” against Iran’s nuclear facilities. “They’re about taking out the entire Iranian military,” he said.

Yep. I doubt Aghaminidinaninajihad reads the times anyway.

Hopefully our intel is right, and we do get all their sites if/when this happens.

I’m a Democrat for Bush

Sarah Baxter is a life-long Labour voter in Britain and a registered Democrat in the United States. So how come she wants George W Bush to remain president?

“They’re about taking out the entire Iranian military,” he said.

Hey, why not? It beats boredom.

Darling Sarah is as much a military expert as she is an expert on American politics. That isn't a compliment. Why her newspaper continues to employ her is beyond me.

Also this will give those in Iran’s military leadership something to ponder

They saw what happened to Saddam’s

I doubt they will want the same fate

Military coup be cool

designed to annihilate the Iranians’ military capability in three days

3 days may be enough to destroy their air defense and CCC but I'm not so certain 3 days of conventional attacks can take out the nuclear program.

What loose lips? That’s a very general war plan and stuff the Iranians would expect anyway. I find it comforting that we can tell the Iranians what we plan to do and they know they can’t do anything but scratch the paint on the U.S. war machine.

The only ones having a problem with this is the liberals, oh the civilian casualties. Just shut up and sit down!
