Pre-emptive Nuclear Strike on Iran?


Who's ABOUT TO BE very sorry?
How do you feel about a possible preemptive nuclear strike on Iran? Is the world ready for the devestation of a nuclear bomb? As an American, are you comfortable that this is happening on your watch? Ok, the nutbag in Iran is creepy. And he's in cahoots with Chavez. Do you think this would bring certain retaliation on American shores?
Or is this the Neoconartist agenda gone mad? Do we want to have our fate in the hands of these dangerous yo-yo's? Think about it.
Apparently it's not about IF but WHEN:
"...Adding to the concern of both military and intelligence officials alike is the nuclear option, the possibility of pre-emptive use of nuclear weapons targeting alleged WMD facilities in Iran. "The Joint Chiefs have no longer imposed roadblocks on a possible bombing campaign against Iran's nuclear production facilities," the intelligence official said. "In the past, only the Air Force had endorsed the contingency, saying that it could carry out the mission of destroying, or at least significantly delaying, Iran's ability to develop a nuclear weapon."
Preparation for such a strike would require contingency plans for securing oil transport lines and dealing with possible riots, as well as assessment of issues that arose during the Iran-Iraq war. "Bahrain will be a battleground as it is majority Shi'a and has had Shi'a riots stimulated by Iran in the past," the official said. "The US Fifth Fleet is also based there. A system for [protection of] oil transport in the Gulf will have to be devised by the US Navy to protect against attacks." The Pentagon did not immediately respond to repeated emails requesting comment.'"
