U.S. Officials Begin Crafting Iran Bombing Plan Thanks Fox news.
"The discussions are now focused on two basic options: less invasive scenarios under which the U.S. might blockade Iranian imports of gasoline or exports of oil, actions generally thought to exact too high a cost on the Iranian people but not enough on the regime in Tehran; and full-scale aerial bombardment."
"Most relevant parties have concluded such a comprehensive attack plan would require at least a week of sustained bombing runs, and would at best set the Iranian nuclear program back a number of years - but not destroy it forever. Other considerations include the likelihood of Iranian reprisals against Tel Aviv and other Israeli population centers; and the effects on American troops in Iraq. There, officials have concluded that the Iranians are unlikely to do much more damage than they already have been able to inflict through their supply of explosives and training of insurgents in Iraq."
Not more damage than they have already done...?
Once they've been attacked on their own soil??
After they've purchased and reinforced arms since U.S. military threats???
After their alliance with Syria????
Uh, thats....... ah. Huh. Well ....... ummm........
"Vice President Cheney and his aides are said to be enjoying a bit of "schadenfreude" at the expense of Burns. 'We told you so. (The Iranians) are not containable diplomatically.'"
Oh ho ho. Neither the U.S. administration it seems.
