Bomb Iran
\n
\nDiplomacy is doing nothing to stop the Iranian nuclear threat; a show of force is the only answer.

\nWE MUST bomb Iran<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

\nIt has been four years since that country’s secret nuclear program was brought to light, and the path of diplomacy and sanctions has led nowhere.
\n\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nMeanwhile, Seymour Hersh says he’s leaking another document<\/a> that he says says what he says that’s leaked early by The New Yorker<\/i>:\n<\/p>\n

\n

A classifed draft CIA assessment has found no firm evidence of a secret drive by Iran to develop nuclear weapons, as alleged by the White House, a top US investigative reporter has said.\n<\/p>\n

\nSeymour Hersh, writing in an article for the November 27 issue of the magazine The New Yorker released in advance, reported on whether the administration of Republican President George W. Bush was more, or less, inclined to attack Iran after Democrats won control of Congress last week.\n<\/p>\n

\nA month before the November 7 legislative elections, Hersh wrote, Vice President Dick Cheney attended a national-security discussion that touched on the impact of Democratic victory in both chambers on Iran policy.\n<\/p>\n

\n“If the Democrats won on November 7th, the vice president said, that victory would not stop the administration from pursuing a military option with Iran,” Hersh wrote, citing a source familiar with the discussion.\n<\/p>\n

\nCheney said the White House would circumvent any legislative restrictions “and thus stop Congress from getting in its way,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nGeez, if only Sy could have gotten that out there before the plutonium residue was found.\n<\/p>\n

\n\n<\/p>\n

\nAnd if I’m wrong, I’m wrong.  I’m not worried.  I’m an old man.  I’ve led a full life.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
