Report: Britain ‘on Board’ for US Strikes on Iran…

Posted on October 7, 2007

Gas them B-52’s up!!….

British defence officials have held talks with their Pentagon counterparts about how they could help out if America chose to bomb Iran.

Washington sources say that America has shelved plans for an all-out assault, drawn up to destroy the Iranian nuclear facilities and take out the Islamist regime.

The Sunday Telegraph has learned that President Bush’s White House national security council is discussing instead a plan to launch pinpoint attacks on bases operated by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Quds force, blamed for training Iraqi militants.

Pentagon officials have revealed that President Bush won an understanding with Gordon Brown in July that Britain would support air strikes if they could be justified as a counter-terrorist operation.

Vincent Cannistraro â€” who served as intelligence chief on Ronald Reagan’s National Security Council and then as head of operations for the CIA’s counter-terrorist centre â€” said: "What’s on the table right now is tactical strikes."

And why are we excited about this? Not to sound like some leftist whack-job, but has Iran done anything? Other than throw some threats towards Israel.I don’t see how Iran could launce a missle and hit the U.S. It would be impossible for them to do that.

So who’s war is this anyways?? I believe in the Security of the United States, not any other countrys, including Israel, who by the way can take care of itself. So again, why are we excited about this??
