US considers use of nuclear weapons against Iran

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The administration of
President George W. Bush is planning a massive bombing campaign against Iran, including use of bunker-buster nuclear bombs to destroy a key Iranian suspected nuclear weapons facility, The New Yorker magazine has reported in its April 17 issue.

The article by investigative journalist Seymour Hersh said that Bush and others in the White House have come to view Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a potential Adolf Hitler.

"That's the name they're using," the report quoted a former senior intelligence official as saying.

A senior unnamed Pentagon adviser is quoted in the article as saying that "this White House believes that the only way to solve the problem is to change the power structure in Iran, and that means war."

Our Boys and Girls in Iraq have ENOUGH problems without thousands of Iranians pouring accross the border to fight them too! Oh yeah, Afganistan shares another border with Iran.
I would find it hard to believe that anyone would pull such a move with OUR troops (and not enough) on the ground in those two countries. They wouldn't......would they???

And now, the real story. Bush has no plan to bomb Iran at all. However Military options are being planned in the case that deplomacy fails. People bitch when there is no plan being made, then bitch when they do make a plan. Bush himself is planning on going through the UN to try to stop Iran from getting a Nuke. He did however say that Iran must not get a Nuclear Bomb.

Johnny have you ever held any sort of clearance?

Yeah, our economy is collapsing rapidly - record low unemployment, housing wealth and ownership at unprecedented levels. If this is what you call collapsing, let it all come crashing down!

Hey, how about recruiting all those military aged mexican illegals to go and fight Iran? Kind of a true test of citizenship? They could walk from one end to the other and straighten that whole thing out? No ?

Ingenius. They can start right after they finish building the wall along the southern border.

Johnny can whine all he wants but apparently that's the extent to which he can help provide a suggestion as to options.
