Attack On Iran Means New World War

(Before It's News)

Moves this week by the United States to position specialized massive “penetrator” bombs for an attack on Iran clearly demonstrate a total lack of grasp by key players of the risks involved and the chain of events that will inexorably follow.

This week, a threat against Iran by the United States was published by the UK Telegraph.  Peter Foster, of their Washington Bureau met with Mike Donnelly, US Air Force Secretary  to question him about deployment of experimental “bunker buster” bombs.

Donnelly is a Washington Insider, a computer programmer and administrative planner but did three years in the army, having served that short period after the end of the Vietnam War.

He has no combat experience and cannot fly an airplane. He is a perfect choice to run an Air force. 

This is what Donnelly said:

“If it needs to go today”, would be available. We continue to do testing on the bomb to refine its capabilities, and that is ongoing,” he said “We also have the capability to go with existing configuration today.  We continue to do testing on the bomb to refine its capabilities, and that is ongoing.  We also have the capability to go with existing configuration today.”

This weapon, the Massive Ordnance Penetrator or MOP weighs 14 tons and cost nearly $100 million to design.

It has never been successfully tested.  Essentially, it is an 8” cannon barrel filled with high explosives hoped to be dropped from the B2 Stealth Bomber.  Each B2 costs $2.1 billion dollars not to mention the $300 billion in design costs.

Some members of congress have serious doubts it is capable of penetrating the “underground weapons labs in Iran” that the CIA had briefed the same members on.

That briefing told congress that no such labs existed.

This February, James Reisen and Mark Mazzeti of the New York Times reported the current level of American intelligence regarding Iran and nuclear weapons:

“Recent assessments by American spy agencies are broadly consistent with a 2007 intelligence finding that concluded that Iran had abandoned its nuclear weapons program years earlier, according to current and former American officials.

The officials said that assessment was largely reaffirmed in a 2010 National Intelligence Estimate, and that it remains the consensus view of America’s 16 intelligence agencies.”

The attack on Iran will mean war in the Gulf – Which can spread quickly

Thus, the same members of congress concerned over the performance of the weapon have been officially briefed that there is no potential use for the weapon although they have clearly indicated that they intend to use the weapon despite the fact their own best information indicates their “opinions” are not rooted in reality.

There are further concerns, other than dropping a defective bomb on non-existent targets without rationale or legal authority.

It is also hoped that Iran has not modified its air defense radars as Serbia had, allowing them to shoot down America’s stealth planes.  Serbia downed several back in the 1990s.
