The US military announced on Sunday that it has a plan in place to strike Iran should the need arise to do so.

During an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press, Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US, said that although he believes that a military strike on Iran would have serious effects on the Middle East, the risk of Iran's developing a nuclear weapon is also unacceptable.

"I think the military options have been on the table and remain on the table. It's one of the options that the president has. Again, I hope we don't get to that, but it's an important option and it's one that's well understood," said Mullen.

Yeahright. We have a plan to strike them hard and fast with a healing balm of human kindness and our supreme faith in the good intentions of the mullahs and their many clients in the civil administration and the Revolutionary Guards.

Not only that, we have a plan if Canada cuts off Maple Syrup exports. We have a bloody plan for alien invasion and catastrophic asteroid strikes. MIL-12-B (The really old one) lists interplanetary ballistic missiles in the acronyms (why would an interplanetary ballistic missle need to be listed in common acronyms?). We've had plans for everything for a long time. People retire writing the damn things.

This isn't news.

Yeah, and our “strike” plan is for Obozo to bow down to the little dictator of Iran and sell out the U.S. to the Mullah's

[Oldexpat]

We have a plan, but we won’t use it. We all are awaiting the day when Iran sets off their first nuclear test. Didn’t Obozo tell us that Jan 10 was the deadline for Iran to shape up? What happened to that deadline?

...Admiral Mike Mullen: "I think the military options have been on the table and remain on the table.

Yea right, he's nothing but a PR hack.

I say:

Iran

[SoldierDad]

Was that Jan 10 2010 or Jan 10 of some year thereafter?

The "Messiah" is putting on this show so as to forestall an Israeli attack and make his administration and the Democrats look tough in November.

The "Messiah" is midwifing the Iranian nuclear bomb. There was the Cambodian auto holocaust before this, but this will be the Liberals last contribution to geo politics and the U.S.

[Freeport]

Well.. Duuuuuhhhhh! We have one for Canada. We have one for Mexico, We have one for China. We have one for England. We have one for France...

We have one for dammed near every country on this planet where the U.S.A has a vested interest.

GEEESSSSSHHHH! Get a clue....

[Mannaggia l'America]

OMG! George W. Bush has plans to bomb Iran and cancel the November elections.

Oh wait, that was 2008... (and 2007 and 2006).

The plan was developed during the W administration and likely updated as needed.

Plans are made to be ready when the commander gets religion and sees the need to act

US: We Have an Iran Strike Plan

Yes, but I'm betting that the "Arizona Strike Plan" is more up-to-date...
