Here's something to deflate Russian's ego:
( RIA Novosti ) - The U.S. has a 14-ton super bomb more destructive
than the vacuum bomb just tested by Russia, a U.S. general said
Wednesday.
The statement was made by retired Lt. General McInerney, chairman
of the Iran Policy Committee, and former Assistant Vice Chief of
Staff of the Air Force.
McInerney said the U.S. has "a new massive ordnance penetrator
that's 30,000 pounds, that really penetrates ... Ahmadinejad has
nothing in Iran that we can't penetrate."
He also said the new Russian bomb was not a "penetrator."
On Tuesday, the Fox News television channel said: "A recent
decision by German officials to withhold support for any new
sanctions against Iran has pushed a broad spectrum of officials in
Washington to develop potential scenarios for a military attack on
the Islamic regime.".
Commenting on the report, McInerney said: "Since Germany has backed
out of helping economically, we do not have any other choice. ...
They've forced us into the military option."
McInerney described some possible military campaign scenarios and
said: "The one I favor the most, of course, is an air campaign," he
continued.
He said that bombing would be launched by 65-70 stealth bombers and
400 bombers of other types.
"Forty-eight hours duration, hitting 2500 aimed points to take out
their [Iranian] nuclear facilities, their air defense facilities,
their air force, their navy, their Shahab-3 retaliatory missiles,
and finally their command and control. And then let the Iranian
people take their country back," the general said describing the
campaign, adding it would be "easy."
McInerney is well-known among the U.S. conservatives. He is the
chairman of the Iran Policy Committee co-chaired by James Woolsey,
former CIA director, William A. Nitze, former Deputy Assistant
Secretary of State and Richard Schifter, former Assistant Secretary
of State, and Professor Raymond Tanter, former Personal
Representative of the Secretary of Defense to arms control talks in
Europe.
The McInerney statement was made following a Fox News report that
U.S. "officials are making plans to attack Iran as early as next
summer," since Washington believes diplomatic efforts have
failed.
