Paper: US preparing ‘massive’ military attack against Iran



Links

According to a study written by a well respected British scholar and arms expert, The United States has the capacity for and may be prepared to launch without warning a massive assault on Iranian uranium enrichment facilities, as well as government buildings and infrastructure, using long-range bombers and missiles, according to a new analysis.

    anthem boy, yeah… the writing has been on the wall for years. It just seems that a lot of people don’t want to read it.

    Craig, c’mon man… the pentagon has, as a rotine/tactical homework/etc, plans regarding lots of scenarios and “what-ifs”, and you know that.
    Given the heat between the persian mullah jockey and the white house cowboy it’s hardly shocking this ’study’. I would not be surprised is there’s a US plan to invade washington-DC… mind you iran.

    The modern US army was built to fight and defeat USSR and China. You think that these Iranian punks stand a chance? Everybody knows that when the US will give a green light, it will be a matter of weeks if not days to bring the Irani “regime” to its knees. The questions that remains,
    - how long can the Mollaz keep doomsday away?
    - and when will the war solution be less “expensive” than the diplomatic and economical embargo which will lead in time to the fall of the Mollaz?
    Time is the best weapon of the US, it prooved you can bring down Russia and China without shedding one drop of blood.
