For Neocons, an Attack on Iran Has Been a Six-Year Project:

The motivations for an Iran strike were laid out as far back as 1992. In classified defense planning guidance -- written for then-Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney by then-Pentagon staffers I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, World Bank Chief Paul Wolfowitz, and ambassador-nominee to the United Nations Zalmay Khalilzad

This is a non-story.

The Pentagon has plans for actions all over the globe, they are called OPLANs. "Think Tanks" work out scenarios and then the OPLAN is shelved until needed, or refreashed based on new information, political changes, economic changes, current events, etc...

Trust me on this: I am more than sure that we have had an OPLAN for an Iranian scenario since 1979.

Yes, it is true. I have heard of it. I think part of it includes a OPLAN in case of mass-panic if a "V" situation arises. "V" is a tv movie/series that came out in 1983, and ran as a series from 1984-85. The aliens came as "friendly", and turned out to be lizards wearing human disguises. They liked to eat rats, too....the special effects was errie when it should them eating rats.

Gosh, you must be an expert on Iran. So let me ask you this: how is a country with 75 million very nationalistic people going to react if America starts dropping bombs on them?

Do we get the flowers and candy this time? 'Cause I was supposed to see that in Iraq, and it kinda didn't happen.

See, I always thought that the 95% Shi'a Muslim population had always turned to the mosque in times of crisis. Wasn't that what happened in 1953 and 1979 and 1844 and 1912? I mean, I know we're not supposed to pay attention to history or anything, but don't you think that even if if we invaded and took over Tehran that the clerics would still be there, telling people to attack the Americans?

Not that I know anything about Iran, I'm just asking.
