#1 we always have plans - the will to follow through is the problem. Clinton NEVER would've used this plan, and rolling this out now is strictly to revise his history, and polish the Hildabeast's foreign policy/military star for '08

#2 Democratic spin to try to imply alignment with Bush "security" voters before they start to think of themselves as Republicans? Or pre-election Democratic spin to stir up the anti-American elements in South Korea? I would love to know the path and timing of these "newly declassified" documents.

#3 My brother is an 15E driver at Seymour, they practice dropping nukes (and conventional) weapons all the freaking time. I've got gun camera footage of my house (outside charlotte) where he used it as a target! Kind of freaky really, you can see my dog in the thermal sites at one point!

Oh, and he don't miss!

#4 Yawn, we have plans for everything, from nuking North Korea (in case it looked like we were going to be overrun) to invading Canada and Mexico. Some date back 50 to 100 years. I'm sure deep in the bowels of the Pentagon, someone has the task of pulling these out every few years, dusting them off and updating the details. Not that we plan on using them, it's just that you don't want to get caught without one.

#5 War Plan Red called for a tricky untried ambhip assault on Bermuda and the blockading of the mouth of the St. Lawrence to lure out the British Home Fleet.

#6 Franks hit the nail on the head. We have plans (called OPLANS) to use against just about every enemy in the world. These plans would for the basis for an attack if hotilities were to commence. Not to devulge too much but most of them (if not all) have the "Nuclear" option. They are reviewed annual to make sure they reflect changes in political, economic, and Military changes for that plan. I bet some ex Clintonista leaked this to help boost the Dhimis after the third loss in a row.

#7 Rangers up the cliffs at Quebec. Old white Jews seize the casinos in Niagara Falls.

#9 There are plans to bomb everything, even France. Long, long ago on an airbase far, far away I used to study plans to use B-52s to drop iron bombs on NorK targets. Everyone thought that as long as you were going to take the time to make the trip, that you might as well do it right and drop something that precluded the need for a second visit. We had plans like that as well.

#10 I doubt this is Dem attempt to look tough. The tone of article is meant to show how evil US is(horror of horrors!the US was going to nuke N.Korea 24 times just because of a little old invasion). Further,the story was started by a S.Korean pol. If there was any meaning to leaking excercise details,it would be a message to both NK and Iran-don't doubt for a second US will go nuclear on your a**.

#11 Plans? Hell, I have books of plans and my boys keep them in safes and study them day and night and revise them every darn day. We have so many plans even the NY Times and CBS are targets.

I'll sleep well tonight.

There is no Hell, only France.
