Next Up: Nuking Iran

Ex-U .N. inspector: Iran’s next And it'll be a nuke. There's nothing else left.

Ritter described how the U.S. government might justify war with Iran in a scenario similar to the buildup to the Iraq invasion. He also argued that Iran wants a nuclear energy program, and not nuclear weapons. But the Bush administration, he said, refuses to believe Iran is telling the truth.

Ritter also predicted the military strategy for war with Iran. First, American forces will bomb Iran. If Iranians don’t overthrow the current government, as Bush hopes they will, Iran will probably attack Israel. Then, Ritter said, the United States will drop a nuclear bomb on Iran. ”


It's the only way we can go to war with anyone else right now. We don't have the manpower -- oh, unless you want a draft, and the Bush Administration loves their high-tech movie-plot weapons anyway -- God, I bet Bush'll hit that little red button and make a pious-sounding speech on TV that's really all about the size of the Presidential Weenie.
