2,000 is a good start.
Don’t buy this one. Alot of inuendo by Bush haters.
>>>Pentagon planners have developed a list of up to 2,000 bombing targets in Iran,
In the last week I’ve read that line a dozen times, but this time it occurs to me that somewhere a bunch of Iranian staff officers are working night and day to answer the question WHICH 2000 targets would that be. The first hundred or so are simple, the nuke sites, airbases, SAM sites, etc. But rounding out the list in a nation as large as Iran has to be a job.
Well, there is the little thing called Congressional approval which given Democratic control is going to be unlikely to obtain.
I would put an attack on Iraq as a very low probability right now. I think the only thing that might change that would be an Iranian attack on US interests in the ME or elsewhere or on Israel.
I concur. At most this is just a bit of saber-rattling by the US administration. More likely their contingency plans have been compromised.
The libs would be sending "I'm sorry for offending notes" instead of retaliation!
So that’s the word from London (posted article from the Telegraph)! Things are getting very interesting, indeed! We’ll see what happens.

I ask you, what's not to like about that guy?
Which should have been done by the CARTER administration...
You can lance a pustule when it's the size of a booger, or you can wait until it's the size of a grapefruit and you have to take off an arm to be quit of it.
Bush 2 will be no different.
Hillary (Bush 3) will cowtow as well.
Until Iranian proxies (Iraq Lebanon Syria Palestine) attack Israel unleashing the prophesy.
BUMP
You could have saved that until after breakfast!
If they didn’t at least plan for this contingency, I wouldn’t have voted for them in the first place. However, I’m not going to believe the Telegraph reporting, either. Besides, isn’t Iran already at war withus? How many of OUR soldiers have been killed by Qud forces in Iraq or by Iranian supplied weapons?

Pustules, boogers, grapefruits...what's your point? (grin)
“Congressional approval?”
“An Iranian attack on U.S. interests?”
You’ve got to be kidding.
First if this does happen, several dems will be informed just before it happens. There will not be time for the dems to stop it. It will be over too soon.(the original 2000 targets)
Second, just what the hell have the Iranians been doing for two or three years? Killing Americans in Iraq. To me that seems like targeting American interests.
It’s a bunch of bull. He may be preparing, but he’s not going to pull the trigger. He’s going to leave it for his successor to decide.
Let's see how it all shakes out.
