#1 Central Command and Strategic Command planners are identifying targets, assessing weapon-loads and working on logistics for an operation,

And water is wet. They would be criminally negligent if they weren't drawing up such plans - actually, I'm sure they've been on the shelf for a long time with tweaks as as needed.

#2 I think this was to send a message to Britain. There are degrees and intensities of preparation.

We've been preparing for Iran for years now, but the massive nature of an attack requires the entire focus of huge numbers of personnel, massive logistical plans, and all sorts of contingecy plan activations.

Importantly, other theaters, such as Korea, have to be activated, too, just in case the Norks decide to try to take advantage of the situation.

That, and countless other preparation multipliers are night and day more enormous in scope from typical slow-burning preparations.

Our generals and admirals want this to be as choreographed as possible. Plans that go according to plan free up people and resources to correct plans that go astray.

#3 Yippie! Where's your 12th Mahdi now Ahmadinejad?

It's about time. The Ayatollahs are 1000 times more pissed of over the existence of the state of Israel than those silly cartoons. If they ever got nukes they would use them.

#4 Pentagon, faster please!

Ahmadinejad will need the deepest well himself.

#6 Jeeez... I'd be careful with those hidden Modi jokes. The 5th (or camo) Modi might be on.
