drawing up a contingency plan to be employed in response to another
9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States. The plan includes a
large-scale air assault on Iran employing both conventional and tactical
nuclear weapons. Within Iran there are more than 450 major strategic
targets, including numerous suspected nuclear-weapons-program development
sites. Many of the targets are hardened or are deep underground and could
not be taken out by conventional weapons, hence the nuclear option."

The deterrent is working.


I can see why you're not lonely in your little fantasy world... you
don't lack for company, just for intelligent company.

Did Iran agree to inspections of it's suspected nuclear sites while I
was away? Monitoring of any part of it's nuclear program? Did they give
back that shipment of Russian nuclear materials which President Bush's
pal Putin sent them?

Didn't think so.

In other words, "the deterrent is working" in the same way that Saddam
was linked to 9-11 and the Iraqi insurgency is on it's last legs.
