The statement was made by retired Lt. General McInerney, chairman of the Iran
Policy Committee, and former Assistant Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force.

Commenting on the report, McInerney said: "Since Germany has backed out of
helping economically, we do not have any other choice. ... They've forced us
into the military option."

"Forty-eight hours duration, hitting 2500 aimed points to take out their
[Iranian] nuclear facilities, their air defense facilities, their air force,
their navy, their Shahab-3 retaliatory missiles, and finally their command and
control. And then let the Iranian people take their country back," the general
said describing the campaign, adding it would be "easy."

McInerney is well-known among the U.S. conservatives. He is the chairman of
the Iran Policy Committee co-chaired by James Woolsey, former CIA director,
William A. Nitze, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State and Richard
Schifter, former Assistant Secretary of State, and Professor Raymond Tanter,
former Personal Representative of the Secretary of Defense to arms control
talks in Europe.
