So, is it possible to be not planning to attack, but also planning to attack at the same time?

It pays to keep your options open!
Just in case...
Yeah, when i read the article it made it seem as if the US by having such plans is going to execute them, but i really understand that we need these for "just in case," granted this does not help in helping others feel better about the current situation.

So, that means Israel may OR may not erase Tehran off the face of the Earth if they strike.
Sounds assuring.

I'm pretty sure we have plans drawn up for just about every powerful nation in the world, just in case... in fact, I'd bet money on it.
Sober enough to know what I'm doing, drunk enough to really enjoy doing it

Yes it is. It has to do with intent. I don't plan on getting in a car accident but I still wear a seatbelt. Having the plans and implementing them are two entirely different things.UON wrote:

Those aren't new! That's the same crap they said was 'new' 9 months ago!
And the same recycled stuff from the cold war. I swear, they just crossed out 'Russia' and put in 'Iran' instead...

Making attack plans is different to planning an attack.
I don't know what the plan is but I assume it goes something like this
1.) Tell pilots to get in planes and bomb shit.
2.) Stay in country for 5 years after the war.
3.) Tell the country you're pulling out by adding more troops.

This is what we pay Colonels for. They sit in the Pentagon and think up every single possible thing that can come up. They devise a plan, send it around for peer review and it gets filed away. They watch CNN and BBC and see something else come up, start making new plans.Commie Killer wrote:

Oh come on...most any country keeps attack plans of some sort or another filed away. A part of politics is saying that you aren't going to do something before you do it. If you do it, people'll forget about the lie in due time. And if you don't do it, then you get kudos for telling the truth.UON wrote:

Plans for the invasion of Iraq were 13 years in the making by the finest military analysts in the country. Look what they did with that. Rumsfeld scrapped it for his plan.

Iraq was a military victory in terms of combat operations. We utterly decimated what was left of the Republican Guard. It is the occupation that has failed. A conflict with Iran won't involve an occupying force. We'll go in, destroy what we want to, and then leave. Iran will do nothing. If they do try something, it's game over for them. Measuring the US's ability to wage war based on a failed occupation is foolish.GATOR591957 wrote:

Sadly there are a number of people who do not understand this. Iraq was a military victory (In record time). The problem is the military should never be put in a position of nation building. The soldiers did their job masterfully, but we can't blame them for a policy that was unable to realize the unwillingness for Iraqi's to accept change or anticipate their desire to kill each other based on different takes on Islam.Fancy_Pollux wrote:

Fancy is right, we wouldnt be doing any occupying of Iran, we would be kicking their ass!!! Anyone saying that our ability to still bring the pain is diminished because of Iraq is flat out wrong and uninformed PERIOD!
btw the outcome in Iraq is not over with yet, we still have a chance at victory if our troops are allowed to do what they need to do (i.e. go after militant groups/al-qaeda with a thugs passion!!) We can win we just need to give war a chance. . .
