The Pentagon's top brass has moved into second-stage contingency planning for a potential military strike on Iran, one senior intelligence official familiar with the plans tells RAW STORY.

The official, who is close to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest ranking officials of each branch of the US military, says the Chiefs have started what is called "branches and sequels" contingency planning.

"The JCS has accepted the inevitable," the intelligence official said, "and is engaged in serious contingency planning to deal with the worst case scenarios that the intelligence community has been painting."

8. They had better NOT..

They must be forgetting Iran is making ready for instantaneous retaliation
plans on undisclosed locations. They aren't about harming American people
just the indiscriminate few policy makers.

success it is.

in the event of an attack on Iran you can bet on a worst case scenario developing. Aren't there any sane people left at the pentagon? Or have they all had rummy's kool aide?

9. Like WWI?

With the Schlieffen Plan (hope I spelled that right). Sometimes war planning takes on a momentum of its own.
