Me: D-uh.
And Syria.
And Egypt.
And Saudi Arabia.
And Jordan (well, maybe not, but probably).
And... they still have their Iraq plan in the safe, too.
Just like we have nuke target folios for... Russia. China. North Korea.
And they're secret, too.
The Israel Defense Force General Staff would be incompetent not to have a plan.
The question - thus far unanswered... is it a CONPLAN, or an OPLAN. Contingency, vice Operation. The current one, or an old one, if contingency.
If it's an OPLAN, *then* it's a story. And whoever leaked it should be locked into a very small, dark, hole. With rats.
Well, actually, if it's the current CONPLAN, whoever leaked it should be locked into a very small, dark, hole. With rats. Because there's a lot of intel analysis (and the reverse engineering thereof) locked into that document, depending on what it *actually* is.
Frankly, even an old CONPLAN gives away stuff. Same hole. With rats.
Otherwise, *yawn*.
Of course, if it's a sanctioned leak - then the target isn't Iran. It's us. To keep the West focused on the threat - and what Israel may choose to do about it - without our permission (which they don't need) or agreement (which they would like to have). And the plan may only contain data they want to share with us, anyway.
Jay, over at Stop the ACLU is running a reax post. Okay Jay, that's my reax.
Until you tell me it's an OPLAN, I'm not interested, except in that warrior geek way that I'm always interested in stuff like that.
Well, that's not entirely true. The old targeteer in me would like to see it, just to see what the Israelis consider the target set to be. But I wouldn't share that with you. I'd just giggle quietly in the corner playing with my data.
Oooo. Bad image.
You're probably right, but I hope you're wrong. It's a shame to have to wait for the Israelis to do what we should have already done. I linked.
