Neo-cons still preparing for Iran attack Robert Dreyfuss Asia Times December 3, 2008 What, exactly, does president-elect Barack Obama’s mild-mannered choice to head the Department of Health and Human Services, former senator Tom Daschle, have to do with neo-conservatives who want to bomb Iran? A familiar coalition of hawks, hardliners and neo-cons expects Obama’s proposed talks with Iran to fail - and they’re already proposing an escalating set of measures instead. Some are meant to occur alongside any future talks. These include steps to enhance coordination with Israel, tougher sanctions against Iran, and a region-wide military buildup of US strike forces, including the prepositioning of military supplies within striking distance of that country. Once the future negotiations break down, as they are convinced will happen, they propose that Washington quickly escalate to war-like measures, including a US Navy-enforced embargo on Iranian fuel imports and a blockade of that country’s oil exports. Finally, of course, comes the strategic military attack against the Islamic Republic of Iran that so many of them have wanted for so long. Read article

Is there a problem with this plan?

The powers that be believe that Iran will fall as easy as Iraq, any attack on Iran will be a hundred times more costly in terms of loss of life than Iraq and thats taking into account the deadly, daily mess Iraq has become since invasion. Therefore I think there is a problem with plan.

I agree if the US thinks it can do it alone that would be foolish but Israel can knock them out with conventional strikes on the suspected Nuk factories/manufacturing locations. It would only delay them a year or two from coming back or it would start WWIII. Either way, they need serious downsizing FAST!

No doubt our soldiers and pilots will be following you into the fray yet again. I hope the invasion doesn't go ahead if only to save more lives lost needlessly.

I could be wrong about this (although I certainly hope I'm not), but I don't think anyone in the current administration or the upcoming administration thinks that an invasion of Iran would be a cakewalk. I remain convinced that the reason it didn't happen under Bush's watch is that the military planners impressed upon the administration (especially in light of what happened with Iraq) how much of a folly it would be. Having said that, it's always prudent to be prepared for any contingency. I would be shocked if the Obama administration didn't have military plans in the works in the event that negotiations failed. As the old saying goes, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

Yes, and if one plans to negotiate with radical Islamic governments one has no plan and therefore plans to fail. Islam understands the sword not negotiations with the infidels.
