U.S. PLAN FOR UNPROVOKED NUCLEAR ATTACK AGAINST IRAN
"... Vice President Dick Cheney's office has requested the United States Strategic Command to draw up a plan to respond to another "9/11 type attack on the US." The plan includes a large-scale air assault on Iran employing both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons...
"As in the case of Iraq, the response is not conditional on Iran actually being involved in the act of terrorism directed against the United States. Several senior Air Force officers involved in the planning are reportedly appalled at the implications of what they are doing—that Iran is being set up for an unprovoked nuclear attack—but no one is prepared to damage his career by posing any objections.
"According to The Washington Post, the document is "expected to be signed within a few weeks by Air Force Lt. Gen. Norton A. Schwartz, director of the Joint Staff, according to Navy Cmdr. Dawn Cutler, a public affairs officer in Myers's office."

IRAN TO BE OIL & GAS SUPPLIER TO RUSSIA, CHINA, INDIA, EUROPE
"... As far as both oil and gas are concerned, Iran has everything going for it: 13% of the world's total fossil fuel reserves (132 billion barrels of crude oil and gas liquids, 27.4 trillion cubic meters of gas), which makes it the second-largest oil-and-gas rich country in the world... Iranian oil will last from 70 to a maximum of 86 years, while gas may last longer than 200 years.... Iran will export at least US$60 billion in oil in 2005 - more than $10 billion more than the June estimate. And with oil hovering about $70 a barrel, it could be even more...
"... Geopolitically, as a key energy supplier to China as well as India's major supplier, Iran will be in a more than enviable position. Its political relations with both China and India are excellent. Its trans-Caspian alliance with Russia is iron-clad, as both countries are dead-set, in diplomatic language, not to allow "other great foreign powers" to penetrate the Caspian. And Tehran will do all it takes to position itself, long term, as a key supplier to Western Europe as well..."
