Bush Still Planning to Bomb Iran?
Larisa Alexandrovna writes that an air strike on Iran is still being planned. She doesn't mention the nuclear option, so one can assume that it really is 'off the table'. Despite the opposition in the military, this scenario doesn't seem far-fetched to me. It could be done with only the Air Force, which is the branch of the military most sympathethic to Bush's aims.
US military, intelligence officials raise concern about possible preparations for Iran strike
"Concern is building among the military and the intelligence community that the US may be preparing for a military strike on Iran, as military assets in key positions are approaching readiness, RAW STORY has learned.
'I would expect two or three aircraft carriers would be moved into the area,' Gardner said, describing what he thinks is the best way air strikes could be carried out without disengaging assets from US fronts in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Two air-craft carriers are already en route to the region, RAW STORY has found. The USS Abraham Lincoln, which recently made a port call in Singapore, and the USS Enterprise which left Norfolk, Virginia earlier this month, are headed for the Western Pacific and Middle East. The USS Ronald Reagan is already operating in the Gulf."
