Israel PLans Potential Strike On Iran Nuke Facilities
This is off of FoxNews:
Israel has drawn up secret plans to destroy Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities with tactical nuclear weapons, according to a report in the Sunday Times of London.The paper cites several Israeli military sources saying that two Israeli air force squadrons are training to blow up an Iranian facility using low-yield nuclear “bunker-busters.”
Bunker-busters is probably what will be needed as there is no doubt that Iran learned a lesson for Iraq and the strike Israel made against their nuke facilities some years back.
With the new Congress being ut in the hands of the Democrats, it is obvious that: A) no such plans will come from the U.S. and B) their will be pressure form Congres on Israel not to execute such plans.
Of course, I would rather that such action could be taken without the use of nukes, low-yield or otherwise.

There is simultaneously more to this story and less as well. Less: every major military power has plans for the attack of evry conceivable threat. I am certain if you look through the Pentagon's dusty vaults you will find plans for the invasion of Canada. More? Israel isn't like the US when secrets get leaked casualy. The fact that they have let this story out means that they want Iran to knwo about it.
