Dagmar wrote: The Bush Administration, while publicly advocating diplomacy in order to stop Iran from pursuing a nuclear weapon, has increased clandestine activities inside Iran and intensified planning for a possible major air attack. Current and former American military and intelligence officials said that Air Force planning groups are drawing up lists of targets, and teams of American combat troops have been ordered into Iran, under cover, to collect targeting data and to establish contact with anti-government ethnic-minority groups. The officials say that President Bush is determined to deny the Iranian regime the opportunity to begin a pilot program, planned for this spring, to enrich uranium.
Here's the article from the New Yorker about the situation. Bush needs to be made aware that there is no possible way that the use of nuclear weapons is to be considered an acceptable tactic, under any circumstances.
No, you need to be made aware that the leadup to any military confrontation involves psychological warfare meant to cause the enemy to think very clearly before they continue down the path they are going. Also, if you would have read through the articles completely rather than bouncing through the headlines, you would have seen the term 'tactical nuclear weapons' meant for destroying deeply embedded bunkers. If they are going to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities, then they need to take them out completely in one organized strike. If you want to see a maniac wielding nuclear weapons, then let's just allow Iran to get nukes. RE: THE IRAN PLANS: Would President Bush go to war to stop Tehran from getting the bomb? |
