The United States has developed contingency plans to address Iran's nuclear ambitions if negotiations falter between the Islamic republic and Western nations, a top US general said Sunday.
... Petraeus declined to comment on reports that Israel, which says Iran presents an existential threat to the Jewish state, may attack its arch-foe's nuclear facilities.
But he told CNN the facilities "certainly can be bombed" even though they are reportedly heavily fortified. "The level of effect would vary with who it is that carries it out, what ordnance they have, and what capability they can bring to bear," he added.
Without elaborating on the contingency plans, the general said it could be some time before Washington decides whether to execute them and that diplomatic efforts would continue in the meantime.
SINCE THE CURRENT REGIME HAS NO INTENTION OF QUITTING THEIR PROGRAM, A PREEMPTIVE ATTACK IS ONLY A MATTER OF WHO AND WHEN AND HOW MUCH.
THE ONLY REASON THE WORLD MIGHT GET PISSED OFF AT ISRAEL FOR A STRIKE ON IRAN WOULD BE IF IT'S TOO SMALL AND IRAN IS ABLE TO LAUNCH A MASSIVE COUNTER-STRIKE ION THE REGION.
THAT'S WHY IT MUST BE A MASSIVE PREEMPTIVE ATTACK.

You can bet that the generals at the pentagon have a plan, whether Obama uses it or not is another story. Israeli will in all likelyhood have to act alone this time. I for one think they could handle such a operation, but even good results will only delay Iran's march toward the bomb. If they should ever use such a weapon Israel would vaporize them---I have little doubt that Israel possesses a fusion bomb.
