October 2, 2006 — , . . Pentagon sources report that plans for a massive and quick U.S. military evacuation from Iraq have been drawn up — and that they borrow heavily from the U.S. evacuation experience in South Vietnam.

Pentagon and U.S. Central Command contingency planners, fully expecting a major insurgent offensive against U.S. forces in Iraq that will result in a mandatory U.S. military withdrawal, have already identified evacuation staging locations, including from the grounds of the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad’s Green Zone and Baghdad International Airport. Other evacuation points reportedly include major hotels and U.S. military bases in Iraq. It is planned that evacuees will be airlifted by plane and helicopters to U.S. Navy ships in the Gulf, Kuwait, Jordan, and Germany.

British forces in Basra have also drawn up evacuation plans.

With Anbar province already lost to the insurgents and much of the country in turmoil, the failure of the United States to evacuate in the face of an all-out insurgent offensive could result in a number of U.S. forces being taken prisoner by insurgent forces. And with the recent decision of Congress to permit torture of enemy prisoners, the fate of a large number of U.S. military and civilian prisoners in insurgent hands has Pentagon officials extremely worried.

  • Looks like Iran will be heating up very soon .............. Bush wont want GI’s from U.S of A being in harms way when he gives the green light for tactical nukes to be used against Iran , he’s gonna want to keep his arse safe from piercing critics when the bombs begin to fall

  • British tanks have already been moved. Nuking Iran would affect the whole region, nuclear fallout doesn’t stop at borders and might reach Turkey and Israel through by air and by rivers.

    This would be a huge crime and U.S. would have to pay the price! Moreover it would wreck also the oil industries in the Gulf states, Iraq and Iran.

    Some crazy Americans like this nuke idea - it is not going to h a p p e n. Ami go back to your play station and drink your lousy beer.

    • Just thought about it... It would be nice to have radioactive oil and petrol for our cars. Can see it now, taking the family out for a drive and emitting alpha particles through the exhaust.

      Is this possibly the way to increase the dollars going to our frinds in Russia and the Central Asian Republics?

      Ah... A wonderful way to destroy the Arabs and Islam... There are too many of those anyway...
