I have a friend who is an LSO on a carrier attack group that is planning and staging a strike group deployment into the Gulf of Hormuz. (LSO: Landing Signal Officer- she directs carrier aircraft while landing) She told me we are going to attack Iran. She said that all the Air Operation Planning and Asset Tasking are finished. That means that all the targets have been chosen, prioritized, and tasked to specific aircraft, bases, carriers, missile cruisers and so forth.
I asked her why she is telling me this.
Her answer was really amazing.
Try not to let this ruin your weekend.
Update (9/4): The diary linked above has -- according to one of the site's administrators -- been taken down by the author. (You can read an expanded, yet still incomplete, excerpt here.) This development appeared to follow some ridicule by a right wing blog, and some upbraiding by the Great Orange Satan himself.
