U.S. developing contingency plan to bomb Iran: report
Sun Feb 25, 2007 9:42AM EST
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Despite the Bush administration's insistence it
has no plans to go to war with Iran, a Pentagon panel has been created
to plan a bombing attack that could be implemented within 24 hours of
getting the go-ahead from President George W. Bush, The New Yorker
magazine reported in its latest issue.
The special planning group was established within the office of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff in recent months, according to an unidentified
former U.S. intelligence official cited in the article by
investigative reporter Seymour Hersh in the March 4 issue.
The panel initially focused on destroying Iran's nuclear facilities
and on regime change but has more recently been directed to identify
targets in Iran that may be involved in supplying or aiding militants
in Iraq, according to an Air Force adviser and a Pentagon consultant,
who were not identified.
The consultant and a former senior intelligence official both said
that U.S. military and special-operations teams had crossed the border
from Iraq into Iran in pursuit of Iranian operatives, according to the
article.

In response to the report, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said: "The
United States is not planning to go to war with Iran. To suggest
anything to the contrary is simply wrong, misleading and mischievous.
"The United States has been very clear with respect to its concerns
regarding specific Iranian government activities. The president has
repeatedly stated publicly that this country is going to work with
allies in the region to address those concerns through diplomatic
efforts," Whitman said.
Pentagon officials say they maintain contingency plans for literally
dozens of potential conflicts around the world and that all plans are
subject to regular and ongoing review.
The article, citing unnamed current and former U.S. officials, also
said the Bush administration received intelligence from Israel that
Iran had developed an intercontinental missile capable of delivering
several small warheads that could reach Europe. It added the validity
of that intelligence was still being debated.

*****.
I mean, if anything, all they're doing is UPDATING the
plans.
I'm sure there's a plan for every nation in the world --
under what circumstances we would be feel it necessary to
attack them, and how we'd go about doing it. Iran, being
in the middle east, would be high on the list.
Even the people whose ***** crack Bush licks -- like the
Saudis -- would have something on file. After all, what
if (before 1991, say) Saddam had invaded Saudi Arabia?
What if Iran did? What if China or India went to war
against them?
You don't want to start from scratch only after the crisis
begins. You want to identify all the strategic locations,
all the "choke points" within a country... all your
assests... distances... trval time... supply...
