Secretary of
Defense Leon Panetta believes that Israel could
attack Iran in an April-to-June timeframe, and
there apparently has been a decision made for the
U.S. to help in an assault on the radical Islamic
nation’s nuclear facilities.
U.S. military
sources tell WND that the Pentagon has begun
preparations for “a number of operational plans
and counter-operations,” with a Feb. 22 due date
for submitting the plans.
There also is a
request for identifying U.S. forces “by 1
March with a ‘through’ date of October.”
