Report: US to attack Iran in 8-10 months
Sept 13, 2007

Germany's unwillingness to impose further sanctions on Iran has pushed the United States
closer towards a decision on a military strike, FOX News reported on Wednesday.

According to the report, Germany's decision has spurred senior US army officials to try and convince US Foreign Secretary Condoleezza Rice
to abandon once and for all the diplomatic route of preventing a nuclear Iran. The report further stated that the date of preference for an
attack against Iran is in eight to 10 months - after the US presidential candidates for both the Democrats and the Republicans have been
chosen, but before the major presidential campaign kicks off.

The report stated that the attack would be comprised of two main strategies: cutting off the Iranian gas supply, which the US hopes would
pressure the Iranian people towards action against their government, and an aerial bombing campaign, which would be meant to paralyze
Iranian defenses and allow American bombers to destroy the nuclear facilities.

Opponents to a military strike claim that an attack would require at least one week of intense bombing, and that it would only set the Iranian
nuclear program back a few years, the report said. Two other claims of the opponents is that an American strike would provoke Iran into
attacking Israel, and that abandoning diplomatic action would negatively impact Iraq and the US troops stationed there.

===========================
What a cunning plan!  Suppose the Iranians cut off the supply of gasoline to the US. Or perhaps gas for heating in the dead of winter.

Naturally, this would make the Americans hate their own government.  Suuuuuuure it would.

This won't happen. except in your diseased, troubled ratwing  minds.

Is this responsible reporting? Isn't this telegraphing U.S. plans to our enemies? Yet, I get a distinct impression that this was posted as good news, rather than as criticism of the media. Am I wrong? What's the deal here?
