already estimating casualties in the planned attack of Iran
'10,000 would die' in A-plant attack on Iran

By Thomas Harding

02/13/06 "The Telegraph" -- -- A major American attack on Iran's nuclear sites would kill up to 10,000 people and lead to war in the Middle East, a report says today.

Hundreds of scientists and technicians would be targets in the opening salvos as the attacks focused on eliminating further nuclear development, the Oxford Research Group says in Iran: Consequences of a War.

The research coincides with reports that strategists at the Pentagon are drawing up plans for "a last resort" strike if diplomacy fails. Plans for an assault have taken on "greater urgency" in recent months, The Sunday Telegraph said.

Tacticians at central command and strategic command, who report to Donald Rumsfeld, the defence secretary, have been identifying targets and the weapons needed to hit them.

1. there is no way a military option can win with Iran
That's what was decided after war-gaming every probable scenario.... No military option can be successful. Tens of thousands of people will die.

But I am willing to bet the current regime in DC will attack nonetheless - and feign SHOCK that the aftermath goes badly.

:grr:

3. war is making big money for the Carlyle group (poppa's bush & binladen)
and halliburton (where cheney is still getting tons of money in deferred retirement stock options)

as long as the rich get richer they really don't give a damn about anything else.

:mad:

themselves while our soldiers die, grandma's and pop's get shafted with the new Part D drug plan, tuition help slashed, high gas and oil prices for us and much more.

4. Their Army can kick our ass.
Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran? I don't think so.

Somekind of missile, air-to-air "attacks" that justify our response.
