Guys and gals, this is a very interesting paper. It’s 80 pages but well worth the read on the possibility of the rouge nation called the U.S. and its war against anyone it dislikes. The paper is written by Dr. Plesch and Martin Butcher, you can find more about them below.
Some highlights of the paper:
The study concludes that the US has made military preparations to
destroy Iran’s WMD, nuclear energy, regime, armed forces, state apparatus and
economic infrastructure within days if not hours of President George W. Bush
giving the order. The US is not publicising the scale of these preparations to
deter Iran, tending to make confrontation more likely. The US retains the option
of avoiding war, but using its forces as part of an overall strategy of shaping
Iran’s actions.
