	Preemptive war - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A preemptive attack (or preemptive war) is waged in an attempt to repel or defeat an imminent offensive or invasion, or to gain a strategic advantage in an impending (usually unavoidable) war.
		Preemptive war is often confused with the term preventive war.
		The intention with a preemptive strike is to gain the advantage of initiative and to harm the enemy at a moment of minimal protection, for instance while vulnerable during transport or mobilization.

	Preemptive war - SourceWatch

		"The intention with a preemptive strike is to gain the advantage of initiative and to harm the enemy at a moment of minimal protection," particularly when the enemy is vulnerable.
		Preemptive war "punishes the defenseless not for what they have done or are doing but for what they might have done or could do."

	Preemptive strike benefits greater good - THE DAILY BRUIN ONLINE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		To strike against Hussein in order to prevent him from deploying nuclear weapons would require a preemptive strike with no immediate provocation, an action that is sure to draw international condemnation.
		The doctrine of preemption, practiced by Begin in the Osirik strike, states that because a shorter, less deadly war is preferable to a longer and more lethal one, nations, in the interests of individual security and the greater good, must have the right to strike against an enemy preparing for a large offensive action.
		Preemptive strikes potentially threaten the power of international institutions, and they directly contradict the ideologies of those who pursue peace through diplomacy at any cost.

	Preemptive Strikes Part Of U.S. Strategic Doctrine
		A Bush administration strategy announced yesterday calls for the preemptive use of military and covert force before an enemy unleashes weapons of mass destruction, and underscores the United States's willingness to retaliate with nuclear weapons for chemical or biological attacks on U.S. soil or against American troops overseas.
		However, a classified version of the strategy goes even further: It breaks with 50 years of U.S. counterproliferation efforts by authorizing preemptive strikes on states and terrorist groups that are close to acquiring weapons of mass destruction or the long-range missiles capable of delivering them.
		Against today's new enemies, the administration has argued, it may be necessary to strike preemptively and with nuclear weapons that would keep fallout to a minimum.

	washingtonpost.com: Bush Developing Military Policy Of Striking First
		The Bush administration is developing a new strategic doctrine that moves away from the Cold War pillars of containment and deterrence toward a policy that supports preemptive attacks against terrorists and hostile states with chemical, biological or nuclear weapons.
		"In some cases, preemptive strikes against an adversary's [weapons of mass destruction] capabilities may be the best or only option we have to avert a catastrophic attack against the United States," she said.
		Under the doctrine, nuclear first strikes would be considered weapons of last resort, especially against biological weapons that can be best destroyed by sustained exposure to the high heat of a nuclear blast, Pentagon officials said.

		Mr Shamkhani, who was asked about the possibility of an American or Israeli strike against Iran's atomic power plant in Bushehr, said: "We will consider any strike against our nuclear installations as an attack on Iran as a whole, and we will retaliate with all our strength.

	CNS - A Preemptive Attack on Iran's Nuclear Facilities: Possible Consequences - August 12, 2004 - Research Story
		In Israel, planning and rhetoric appear to have progressed quite a bit further[3]; it appears that some in Israel are seriously considering a preemptive attack similar to the June 1981 attack on Osirak that destroyed Iraq's nuclear reactor.
		In the event of an unprovoked preemptive attack on its nuclear facilities, Iran could justifiably argue that it requires nuclear weapons to guard against aggression and protect its sovereignty, effectively announcing its intention to withdraw from the NPT and altering the current international dynamic.
		In the aftermath of such a strike, it is highly unlikely that the United States would be able to convince members of the UN Security Council to impose sanctions on Iran.

		But several Israeli experts say that the Osirak experience bears little relevance in the case of Iran and that the chances of a repeat strike are very low.
		Nevertheless, a lone Israeli strike reminiscent of 1981 seems less likely at a time when US forces are sitting in neighboring Iraq, officials and analysts say.
		The Osirak strike generated a chorus of international condemnation that included US Secretary of State Alexander Haig and UN Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick.
