These carrier > forces can each conduct a version of the D-Day landings. They come > with landing craft, tanks, jump-jets, thousands of troops and, > yes, hundreds more cruise missiles. Their task is to destroy > Iranian forces able to attack oil tankers and to secure oilfields > and installations. They have trained for this mission since the > Iranian revolution of 1979." > > The report said that "any US general planning to attack Iran can > now assume that at least 10,000 targets can be hit in a single > raid, with warplanes flying from the US or Diego Garcia...With > little military effort, the US air force can hit the last-known > position of Iranian military units, political leaders and supposed > sites of weapons of mass destruction. One can be sure that, if war > comes, George Bush will not want to stand accused of using too > little force and allowing Iran to fight back."
