Iran: The Next Quagmire

Some on the internets tubes are doubting this story, but check out these five details.

1: Air strikes
2: 1,200 targets
3: Pentagon plan
4: Destroy Iran's military
5: Three days
With a series of airstrikes aimed at 1,200 targets, the Pentagon reportedly has plans to destroy Iran's military capability in three days.

I've noticed every story, regardless of source, reiterates these five details. The words around the details change, but not the details themselves.

So this a very disciplined urban legend* or true.

Via AlterNet.

* urban legend
–noun
a modern story of obscure origin and with little or no supporting evidence that spreads spontaneously in varying forms and often has elements of humor, moralizing, or horror. (source)
