British Academics Warn U.S. Is Preparing "Shock And Awe" Attack On Iran

An 80-page study written by two British security analysts and released on August 28 makes a chilling estimation of the overwhelming force that the US would use in the event of any attack on Iran. "The US has made military preparations to destroy Iran's WMD, nuclear energy, regime, armed forces, state apparatus and economic infrastructure within days, if not hours, of President George W. Bush giving the order," the paper declared...

So what’s the holdup?

Gosh, what a tragedy. I guess it wouldn’t be sporting, if a bunch of academics didn’t publicly broadcast our intentions. It’s a good thing these guys didn’t get access to the actual OPORD.

SittinYonder warns British academics may have their heads up their a$$e$ and no clue what’s happening or not happening in the real world.

Ooooohhh...Awwwwwwe

"The US has made military preparations to destroy Iran's WMD, nuclear energy, regime, armed forces, state apparatus and economic infrastructure within days, if not hours, of President George W. Bush giving the order,"

Heads up the a$$e$ or not, they'd better be right.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

You know, if President Bush were really smart, he would follow President Lincoln’s political example at the outset of the Civil War by provoking the Iranians into declaring war on us and then in turn blasting them with everything we’ve got.

But wait, I thought the limeys were our allies /sarc

Sounds like a good idea to me. Let’s use some of our neat hardware and technology to do a “Razzle Dazzle” quick blitz and see if they change their minds.

trying to NYT a warning to the enemy.

[Joe Boucher]

I’ve been waiting and hoping for this to happen since Jimmy Carter turned his back on our American citizens that were taken hostage by the Iranians.
So let’s do it.

[Stashiu]

Tick, tock. Tick, tock.

yawn

[dforest]

I heard the Shock and Awe was going to be on Britain to save them from the coming mooslime takover. /s

[badpacifist]

The have declared war on us but only by proxy.

[freedom44]

On or off the Iran ping list.

[NordP]

They are ... this was a pre-emptive pr strike ;-) — a don’t mess with them and give it up, type thing.

[null and void]

Hmmmmmm, Iran or North Korea? Decisions, decisions...

Since we are still technically at war with NK, it doesn’t require an act of Congress...

[Sax]

Fighting the enemy with newsclipping and planted stories isn’t as satisfying as using ‘splosives.

Hey, if this messes with the heads of Ahmadangnutjob and co., I'll take it :)
