Anything to distract from the problem at hand
The AP is reporting that, according to Wayne White, a former analyst with the State Department's bureau of intelligence and research, current planning for Our Dear Embattled Leader's next war involves much more than a few "surgical" strikes.
"I've seen some of the planning ...You're talking about a war against Iran" that likely would destabilize the Middle East for years, White told the Middle East Policy Council, a Washington think tank.Two points to consider here; first, Wayne White worked for the State Dept. which has an admirable record of accuracy in intelligence and second, any success in such attacks requires that everything goes according to plan. It is the second point that will get ODEL into a heap of trouble. History has already shown that none of his martial plans have any chance of succeeding. Even if it was not a criminal idea, it would be a waste of men and resources in return for another disaster.
"We're not talking about just surgical strikes against an array of targets inside Iran. We're talking about clearing a path to the targets" by taking out much of the Iranian Air Force, Kilo submarines, anti-ship missiles that could target commerce or U.S. warships in the Gulf, and maybe even Iran's ballistic missile capability, White said.
