Adm. Mullen: U.S. Preparing Strike Option Against Iran
« on: April 27, 2008, 10:38:37 AM »
Making it crystal clear to Iran, Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Friday that the United States is preparing for "potential military courses of action" against it if Tehran does not stop aiding insurgents in Iraq and fails to stop building nuclear weapons. Admitting that a third conflict in the region would be "extremely stressing" for America's military, he warned Iran that it was mistake to suggest the United States did not have the resources to strike Iranian military targets.
 "I have reserve capability, in particularly our Navy and our Air Force, not just there, but available globally,'' Mullen said. "There are lots of potential military courses of action.''

Hell we could take them down with just the Naval assets we have in the region.

I never cite NewsMax myself but do you seriously suggest the US has NOT drawn up plans for Iran because of its WMD programs and attacks on US troops?

Not at all. I'm certain that the US military has drawn up several plans for military action against Iran. I just hate Newsmax.

The US has had these plans for quite some time and that shouldn't be news to anyone.
