US ‘Iran attack plans’ revealed

US ‘Iran attack plans’ revealed

See. Here’s why I think this is marketing and spin. If it were really just an attack plan, nobody would know about it. It wouldn’t be on the BBC.

But, in order for the administration to get approval for a pre-emptive strike; one where we aren’t actually defending against an actual attack, only the perception of a “imminent threat” they have to get we the people to begin to agree with them.

In the 1950’s there were all sorts of attack plans on how we’d attack the Soviet block. All sorts of plans for the Korean or VietNam wars. Those plans weren’t published in the international press beforehand.

This is sabre rattling, meant to threaten Iran (and others) and to numb the ears of the American people, so that when it actually happens we aren’t paying attention anymore.
