The United States Department of Defense has developed a list of up to 2,000 bombing targets in Iran, the Sunday Telegraph reported.
According to the report, senior CIA and US defense officials believe that the White House was taking steps to ensure military confrontation with Iran, for fear that diplomatic efforts to slow the country's nuclear weapons program are doomed to fail.
According to a senior US intelligence officer, the escalation to military confrontation could begin with a public denunciation of Iran's suspected meddling in Iraq, the report said. The US claims Iran is arming and training Shiite militants; a denunciation of such activity could lead to cross-border raids on Iranian training camps and bomb factories.
The official told the Sunday Telegraph that a prime target for such a raid would be the Fajr base run by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Quds Force in southern Iran, where Western intelligence agencies say armor-piercing projectiles used against British and US troops are manufactured...
get er done!
Where have I seen this before? Action not words is what I want to see.
Corrected Headline: “Iran wants War with U.S. ... and the U.S. plans to accomodate Iran”
At DNC HQ the headline is: “Halliburton and the PNAC want another war for oil.”
My estimate is more like 6,000 targets.
Any real intelligence officer would not leak such a story to a foreign newspaper, unless he wanted to risk spending the rest of his life in Leavenworth.
30 years waiting to avenge the hostages.
So very true!
It seems like we see a story of either the US or Israel on the verge of attacking Iran every 3 months for the past 3 years.
Could this be phyops?
Of course the pentagon has plans for war with Iran. How remiss would they be if they didn’t. It doesn’t take any leaking for one to know that. Beyond that, this article is a piece of trash made up out of whole cloth by it’s authors.
Keep an eye on the pizza deliveries around the Pentagon. If they go up in the eving something is going on.
I would think any psy-op in this case would more likely be directed toward Farsi language publications in Iran (rather than toward Europeans) in order to amplify dissent with the Iranian government.
I have a couple of choice bombing targets for the U.S. Military. First an atomic weapon of suitable size on Medena as an attention getter. If that doesn’t turn a few middle eastern heads in the right direction, go for Mecca.
That ought to do the trick.
If we truly want to destoy the present government of Iran, we just need to send several hundred liberals over there to reinforce the budding decadence. What most concerns me about our own country is the ultimate swing of that pendulum of history. Will the “good” citizens of “flyover country” USA end up siding with the falsely assumed “moral” Muslims and fight against the liberal establishment? We must be careful to avoid any alliance with these misguided people and again back to our history lesson, we can never have a meaningful trusing relationship with them as long as they take the Koran literally.
Great poster. Yes we could learn much from Aliens II. LOL
I wonder what it would be like to work there?
That's old news...The USS Kearsarge has been in the Persian Gulf for at least a week. They did may a brief stop in Kuwait but their whereabouts exactly now I cannot say nor would say if I could. They continue training and running drills. The sailors and marines will be ready should they be called upon...
“...the escalation to military confrontation could begin with a public denunciation of Iran’s suspected meddling in Iraq, the report said.”
A denunciation that should have taken place TWO YEARS AGO.
Bush appears to have the same policy towards Itan that he has with Mexico... ass kisser. As long as Bush ALLOWS Sadr and his goons to live, ALLOWS Iran to send weapons into Iraq with impunity, and ALLOWS Iran to train terrorists I can only assume he WANTS these things.
I’ll believe it when I see it. I suspect that even if we ever do attack Iran it will be a totally PC attack where we flick them in the nose at some remote Iranian site and then run like hell so that no one is offended. Wouldn’t want the empty skirts at the UN to start waving pieces of paper around.
The only problem with this is that liberals are not tolerated "over there." If they were to show up and start their preaching against Iran, they would be arrested, tortured and if they didn't change their minds, killed. Not to worry though. If we send liberals to Iran they will only attack the USA anyway so we can be sure they will be safe. As to your second point, I suggest the left is already aligned with the muzzies and intends to use them to our detriment.
sadly, I must LOL and agree with you. The Pentagon is now divided into think tanks devoted to war plan contingencies, and Academy-trained win/win wingineers “tasking together” to design hybrid prototype tanks that run on a combination of Willie Fuel and earth-friendly batteries. General Patton would die of shame if he saw what Barney and Friends and Oprah have done to some of our “leaders” and “planners”.
There is nothing remarkable about a nation having plans drawn up for an invasion of any country. The US has had plans drawn up for invasion of other countries in the past, but has not carried out the invasion and military campaign. There were even plans for the invasion of England, even though England has been an ally for many years.
But how could this be - The insufferable madman is going to address the general assembly at the united nations - September 24, 2007./Just Asking - seoul62........
Bring it on.....
Could be that he was instructed to leak this info.
MHO, this type of thing is Purely Psy-ops.
Someone is saying these thing TO attract attention to certain sites, then watch and see what comes out of what hole.
If it be so, the media should not be allowed in the fracas, and no embedded journalist... they only print lies, spread deception, and ridicule our military. Our troops need our support, and they need something better than what they have received in the past.
Bullfrogg
No real surprise. The Pentagon keeps war plans for war with just about every country on the planet, except France. We just assume they will immediately surrender as soon as we declare war on them. We have probably had plans to flaten Iran since Jimmy boy was prez. Of course, with that coward, the Pentagon could not tell him of those.
