Is Cheney Gearing Up Military to Nuke Iran?

Courtesy of Agitprop: The American Conservative reports the following (in an upcoming 8/1/05 issue): The Pentagon, acting under instructions from VP Cheney's office (WHY exactly is Big Dick calling the shots?) has the US Strategic Command (STRATCOM) drawing up a contingency plan to be employed in response to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the US. 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. As in the case of Iraq, the response is not conditional on Iran actually being involved in the act of terrorism directed against the US. Several senior Air Force officers involved in the planning are reportedly appalled at the implications of what they are doing--that Iran is being set up for an unprovoked nuclear attack--but no one is prepared to damage his career by posing any objections. Jesus H. Christ driving a motorhome... what depraved act of insanity is next for these Neo-Con sociopaths? They CAN'T be this fucking crazy... can they?
