Boomer: "Iran: Operation Bite" Contributed by Bill Faith
Boomer emails:
An interesting article which begs the answer to a question. Will this happen?
Better than a 50/50 chance, I'd say.
Iran just keeps pushing the line in the sand further and further, thereby forcing the U. S. to take action. If not to annihilate, then at least to cause a delay in Iran's plans. I'd also expect Israel to be involved. Their very survival depends on Iran being at least crippled. They stand to suffer horrible damage in any case, war or no war.
If I was Iran I'd not let my ships move too far from port. Maybe just leave them tied to the dock. Not that it would make them any safer from any smart weapons that could be used against them. Taking hostages was a mistake on their part. One that could inflict upon them one helluva big bite.
Basically, no matter what Lady Albright says, negotiation with that bunch of loony bins won't work. Didn't work with Saddam. The only thing that will stand a chance to work is F-O-R-C-E and lots of it. We got it.
May I go out on a limb and say something? I don't think we're going to see peace in our lifetime. The world is in it for the long haul. Sad to say.

WASHINGTON DC, -- The long awaited US military attack on Iran is now on track for the first week of April, specifically for 4 am on April 6, the Good Friday opening of Easter weekend, writes the well-known Russian journalist Andrei Uglanov in the Moscow weekly “Argumenty Nedeli.” Uglanov cites Russian military experts close to the Russian General Staff for his account.
The attack is slated to last for 12 hours, according to Uglanov, from 4 am until 4 pm local time. Friday is the sabbath in Iran. In the course of the attack, code named Operation Bite, about 20 targets are marked for bombing; the list includes uranium enrichment facilities, research centers, and laboratories.
The first reactor at the Bushehr nuclear plant, where Russian engineers are working, is supposed to be spared from destruction. The US attack plan reportedly calls for the Iranian air defense system to be degraded, for numerous Iranian warships to be sunk in the Persian Gulf, and for the most important headquarters of the Iranian armed forces to be wiped out.
