US Plans for Iran Military Option 'Fully Available'
Arutz Sheva ^ | 5-17-2012 | Chana Ya'ar

The U.S. ambassador to Israel says military plans for a possible attack on Iran are “fully available.”

*snip*

"It would be preferable to resolve this diplomatically and through the use of pressure than to use military force,” Shapiro said in remarks broadcast on IDF Army Radio. “But that doesn't mean that option is not fully available – not just available, but it's ready. The necessary planning has been done to ensure that it's ready,” he said.

Translation: We’re ready to strike Iran but we just need to wait until October so it will achieve our operational goals (saving Obama’s backside).

It should be treason to play politics with National Security but alas...

*sigh*

Another “leak?” This administration is so deep in the cesspool of socialism it sucks the scum from the bottom of the pond.

Bibi should make it clear that the Obama administration has done everything it can to sabotage the defense of Israel as well as the free world!

That’s a good translation but they better fully understand that Israel is the one with the finger on the trigger.

It all depends on what sort of legs this Obama born in Kenya story has.

If it’s looking fatal, we’ll attack Iran.

The US Military had a plan for a nuclear attack against the Soviet Union during the cold war. So the point of having a plan for Iran is what?

We have to assume at this point that Obama intends to attack Iran before the election. Otherwise, this saber rattling would make no sense. Recent developments in the Israeli government reinforces the idea that an attack is forthcoming.

Politically. Obama has nothing to lose by launching an attack. His Arab backers will screetch but he doesn't care what they think. In the end, all he cares about is re-election and his continuing campaign to cripple America from within. The caliphate can wait.

I think when they say “fully available” they mean
fully available TO Iran.
