"The Pentagon, acting under instructions from Vice President Dick Cheney's office, has tasked the United States Strategic Command (STRATCOM) with drawing up a contingency plan to be employed in response to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States," reported former CIA officer Philip Giraldi in the August 1 American Conservative. "The plan includes a large-scale air assault on Iran employing both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons."
"As in the case of Iraq," continued Giraldi, "the response is not conditional on Iran actually being involved in the act of terrorism directed against the United States."
While Vice President Cheney has reportedly begun preparing for a war with Iran, a potential nuclear power, he has also supported a deal that would send two nuclear reactors to China--which already has a nuclear arsenal and has intimated, at various times, that it would be prepared to use those weapons against the U.S.
