Will Iran Pre-emptively attack us before we try to take out their Nukes?

[franksumatra]

Which Seymour Hersh says is being planned for THIS SUMMER!

A series of surgical air strikes to neutralize Iran's Nuclear weapons facilities are currently being planned by the neo-cons.

This really comes as no surprise, we've been surmising it since Bush strolled in. How would America react if it knew that Iran was planning to take out OUR nukes? Do you think we'd take it personally?

This is the neo-con plan in it's ultimate form: Nuking the Arabs of the Middle East into the stone age, and building burger kings every 1/4 mile.

Heads up Iran.

1. GRRR

The last thing we need is another war (which could possibly happen if we attack Iran). We can barely afford or contain this one. Thank you Bush voters! Thanks a lot!

2. the problem with going to war with iran...

their army is well-trained and disciplined, and semi well-equipped...not like going after saddam's republican guard, it'll be a disaster whatever way you cut it...

3. they wouldn't be a pushover

around 500,000 military personnel and quite an arsenal.

Invading Iraq would be the ultimate folly. If the Iraq occupation is proving difficult to manage, just think what would be the implications of trying to extend control into Iran. And, would other Islamic nations stand back and watch? The House of Saud is already teetering on the verge of collapse; an invasion of Iran by the US might just be the proverbial lighting of the fuse.

Empires often fall when they overstretch themselves militarily.

5. A few months ago...about the time

Israel bought the bunker busters from us, Iran announced they reserved the right to pre-emptively strike if they were threatened.

4. Maybe bush and his reptillians have already plan this.

Lets get as many US soldiers to Iraq drop a nuke on them kill all 150,000 US soldiers (you know americans have no backbone they will believe anything) blame it on iran and go after iran...Just a therory

7. Not if they want to live to see another day.

If Iran pre-emptively strikes US forces in Iraq they wont have to worry about developing weapons grade Uranium. There will be plenty left over in the after-math.

8. I loved the part when Hersh said

That only the KoolAide drinkers were allowed at these attack Iran meetings, you know the ones who *don't* put forth that "nationalism" will overcome the younger Iranians desire for Democracy. He specifically stated that those who present a differing view, such as one that if we attack Iraq it will enrage the populous and they will ban together, nationalism ya know, to fight the USA, those who dare talk of such an outcome, the one's who don't "drink the koolaide", are not invited to participate in these pre attack planning meetings.

9. Typical US tactic

Send in covert ops to "mess" with a country's government, then when they get fed up and retaliate, claim they are aggressive and dangerous, and attack them openly. In other words, picking a fight.

10. If they prescribe to the Bush* doctrine they might.

pre-emptive war, baby. Could be the Osama defense.
