Global Strike
A Chronology of the Pentagon's New
Offensive Strike Plan
Published by: Federation of American Scientists, March 15, 2006
Excerpt:
"It is important to understand that the Global Strike
mission and CONPLAN 8022 are different than previous
missions and plans both in their intent and capabilities.
Although promoted as a way of increasing the President's
options for deterring lesser adversaries, Global Strike is
first and foremost offensive and preemptive in nature and
deeply rooted in the expectation that deterrence will fail
sooner or later."

(FFN Editor's note: This is a major nuclear warfare drill and could be used
to bootleg an attack on Iran. This information was taken from the following
MUST READ white paper from STRATCOM, which describes in depth their plans
for nuclear war, space war, and Cheney's CONPLAN 8022 to be used against
Iran following a terror provocation: Click here to read the full report.
Just a small sample of the report is listed below to source the information
and date of the drill.)

(FFN Editor's note: Here is more on Global Lighting. This was how they ran
last year's exercise)
(from William Arkin 2005- http://omega.twoday.net/stories/1108990/)
Global Lightning practices the American nuclear retaliation after Vigilant
Shield. This year's is the second of an annual exercise series allowing the
Omaha-based command to flex bigger muscles assigned by President Bush. In
2003, the President assigned STRATCOM overarching responsibility for missile
defenses, "strategic" information warfare in support of national operations,
and global strike missions -- nuclear and conventional.
Global Lightning exercises, according to STRATCOM documents, practices
"nuclear combat readiness, proficiency and training" and "provides a
bridging exercise between nuclear and non-nuclear forces." In other words,
it practices escalation from conventional to nuclear war and implementation
of the Bush administration's new global strike war plan, named CONPLAN 8022.
