Pentagon 'three-day blitz' plan for Iran
Sarah Baxter, Washington
People never stop posting this - over and over for years now, we've
had stories Bush will attack Iran. When it never happens, reporters
and posters seems to just change the predicted dates and publish the
claims again with some fresh details. All this despite the utter
impossibility of it. The idea our stretched-beyond-exhaustion
military logistics system could support the deployment of hundreds of
combat planes to the area and the sustainment of a huge air campaign
is absurd. Is there a contingency plan if an attack on Iran was
deemed necessary? Well, it's the military's job to have a contingency
plan for all kinds of scenarios. But we have exhausted our planes,
our supplies of guided munitions, our people, and our logistics with
the Iraq/Afghan wars.
Unless Iran actually attacks in force, the chance this will happen is
absolutely zero.
