Isolated T-Storms J TEHRAN, Iran—Iran has drawn up plans to bomb Israel if the Jewish state should attack, the deputy air force commander said Wednesday, adding to tensions already heated up by an Israeli airstrike on Syria and Western calls for more U.N. sanctions against Tehran. French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said Sunday that the international community should prepare for the possibility of war in the event Iran obtains atomic weapons, although he later stressed the focus is still on diplomatic pressures. The comments come as the top U.S. military commander in the Middle East, Adm. William Failon, is touring Persian Gulf countries seeking to form a united front of Arab allies against Iran's growing influence in the region. Iran has periodically raised alarms over the possibility of war, particularly when the West brings up talk of sanctions over Tehran's rejection of a U.N. Security Council demand that it halt uranium enrichment. "We have drawn up a plan to strike back at Israel with our bomb- Iran's missile threat Iranian officials stated their readiness to fight Wednesday if U.S. or Israel attacks.

Jim Webb, D-Va., was seen as the Democrats' best shot because of its pro-military premise. "The idea of winning the war in Iraq is beginning to get a second look," said Sen. Lmdsey Graham, R-S.G, who led opposition to the bill alongside Sen. John McCain. Webb's legislation would have required that troops spend as much time at home training with their units as they spend deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan. Members of the National Guard or Reserve would be guaranteed three years at home before being sent backMost Army sol- diers now spend about 15 months in combat with 12 months home. "In blocking this bipartisan bill, Republicans have once again demonstrated that they are more committed to protecting the president than protecting our troops," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Wednesday's vote was the second time in as many months that Webb's bill was sidetracked. In July, a similar measure also fell four votes short of advancing. Democrats said they were hopeful additional Republicans, wary of the politically unpopular war, would agree this time around to break party ranks. ACROSS I O.J.

Simpson stood handcuffed in courf Wednesday to face charges that could put him behind bars for life. The prosecutor who failed to get him a dozen years ago was there to watch, and news cameras tracked his every move as if they were covering a slow-speed chase. But as Simpson made his $125,000 bail on charges including kidnapping and armed robbery, legal experts were questioning: Could a former football star who beat a doublemurder rap really do hard time for a crime that sounds like a bad movie? Police have laid out a case that makes Simpson the leader in an armed holdup of sports memorabilia collectors, and they arrested a fifth suspect in the case Wednesday. Some of the facts—including a curious recording of the confrontation—don't seem so clear-cut. Legal experts say that issues such as who had rightful ownership of the goods and the reputation of witnesses in the sometimes less-than-reputable world of memorabilia trading could cloud the prosecution's case. Simpson has insisted he was merely retrieving items that were stolen from him earlier. Alfred Beardsley, one of the collectors who says he was robbed at gunpoint by Simpson and several other men, told NBC's "Today" show before Simpson's hearing that he didn't think an audiotape made at the scene was accurate. Beardsley was arrested on a parole violation Wednesday.
