Thomas G. McInerney, a retired Air Force lieutenant general who advocates military strikes in Iran, told the LA Times that US planes along the border could be better used to keep bomb-making materials out of Iraq. \u00ab\u00a0We know they are doing this. Why do we accept it?\u00a0\u00bb McInerney was quoted by the Times as saying. \u00ab\u00a0For every (improvised explosive device) that goes off in Iraq, a bomb should go off in Iran.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em>»)<\/p>\n<\/p>\nEtrange destin de la b\u00eatise sophistiqu\u00e9e, la plus profonde des b\u00eatises qu’on puisse imaginer avec son front de taureau cach\u00e9 par les casquettes charg\u00e9es de lauriers dor\u00e9s. Elle (la b\u00eatise) fonctionne \u00e0 plein r\u00e9gime. On voit se dessiner une \u00ab\u00a0campagne d’interdiction\u00a0\u00bb contre l’Iran, \u00e0 partir de l’Irak, ce qui est une super-vietnamisation du conflit, rappelant aussi bien les campagnes a\u00e9riennes contre le Nord-Vietnam que les campagnes ponctuelles et ill\u00e9gales contre le Cambodge.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

»The US Air Force is preparing for an expanded role in Iraq that could include aggressive new tactics designed to deter Iranian assistance to Iraqi militants, senior Pentagon officials were quoted by the Los Angeles Times as saying on Wednesday.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n»According to the LA Times report, a said the efforts could include more forceful patrols by Air Force and Navy fighter planes along the Iran-Iraq border to counter the smuggling of bomb supplies from Iran.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n»Such missions also could position the Air Force to strike suspected bomb suppliers inside Iraq to deter Iranian agents that US officials say are assisting Iraqi militias, outside military experts were quoted by the LA Times said.<\/em>»<\/p>\n<\/p>\nLe fondement de la tactique est r\u00e9sum\u00e9 par l’expert sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9 de service, l’ineffable Loren Thompson. La chose rappelle les g\u00e9missements de Rumsfeld \u00e0 l’automne 2001, se plaignant que l’USAF et la Navy ne trouvaient pas assez d’objectifs en Afghanistan, pour taper, taper et encore taper. C’est la m\u00eame chose en Irak : pas d’objectifs, malheur, ou des objectifs unfair<\/em>, qui ne coop\u00e8rent pas en restant \u00e0 leur place, bien identifiables, pour qu’on puisse les rater avec pr\u00e9cision. Donc, nous irons en Iran, les g\u00e9n\u00e9raux de l’USAF ayant conclu que c’est un pays mieux adapt\u00e9 \u00e0 notre guerre, — finalement un ennemi plus sympa, au moins on sait où taper…<\/p>\n<\/p>\n«Loren Thompson, a military analyst at the Lexington Institute, told the newspaper that many military targets in Iran were susceptible to Air Force weapons.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n»\u00ab\u00a0Iran is precisely the type of enemy they know how to deal with,\u00a0\u00bb Thompson told the LA Times.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n»\u00ab\u00a0Having the ability to attack Iranian military targets and political targets is not just a deterrent.
