- targeting the US Carriers. Iran would be a Military Fool as Obama, if they just would sit and wait for the Sword to fall on them. Arn.Sweden.

Tell me why these Defense officials feel the need to let everyone know their future plans? Ready by fall? A bit late perhaps? The US used to have good leadership in the military, what happened? Are they just following orders from the White House? Get some gonads!@

War is always good for the economy of the rich.

It could be that a miscalculation of Iran Mullahs could force the hand of Obama. In other words War in the very near future. All point in that direction !

it's Obama's "I Will Keep Oil Prices Down. I Will Save the World" election theatre. He may even include some jousting to make it look authentic. No country in their right mind would divulge this kind of info.

There still is a free press in the US - at least when it comes to exposing military strategy. Of course, not when it considers insulting Islam. That's off limits. Christians and Jews are fair game, mind you. But the process of funding the military is open, involving loose-lipped congressmen, and a hostile, ambitious press seeking 'scoops,' That being said, the US military needs little more than pea shooters to take out the mullahs' speedboat fleet. Iran knows this, and this vaunted fleet of pleasure boats will stay safely in port, as they did after issuing the threat to attack the next aircraft carrier that dared to enter the Hormuz Strait.
