[QUOTE=Diceman] Israel has launched these sorts of preemptive airstrikes before, so Iran has probably taken measures to protect their Good Stuff [/QUOTE] Maybe that’s why the Israelis are considering nukes. 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=newcrasher] Don’t we have “plans” to nuke Canada, England and Bermuda? You know, just in case? [/QUOTE] I don’t know about nuclear options, but we do have an invasion plan for Canada gathering dust somewhere. Of course it’s over 75 years old. ---

[QUOTE=alphaboi867] but we do have an invasion plan for Canada gathering dust somewhere. [/QUOTE] I think most countries have plans to invade everyone else. Suppose the Russkies took over Quebec, or the Egyptians Tel Aviv, and the USA had to go to the rescue. ---

[QUOTE=RickJay] Done entirely by British troops. Why’re you bringing it up? [/QUOTE] Well, technically yes, but Canada was still considered a British colony at that point (our official confederation of provinces came about in 1867) so we were on their side of the war. It’s a joke: if the U.S. has plans to invade Canada, and so forth… er… _cymbal ba-dum-tish?_ _crickets_ ---

If the plans are 75 years old, then the object is obviously to grab all the liquor and run. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/israel-plans-to-attack-iranian-nuclear-facilities/387033.md?page=1)
