Iran: About that two-week deadline...
By Noel S. Williams
I just read one of the most disingenuous articles imaginable about strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. It skillfully lists the technical specifications Iran must ensure in order to develop a functional nuclear weapon, but after obliging the reader with this expertise, it draws wrong-headed conclusions.
Presented, compliments of Fox News, by retired lt. colonel Robert Maginnis, it argues against a “hasty and unjustified war” against Iran. Insubordinately, he dares to classify White House pronouncements that “Iran has all that it needs to achieve a nuclear weapon” as misinformation. How does he know? Does he still have a security clearance as a retiree?
Hasty? Unjustified? Even if we concede his technical descriptions, the half-bird colonel is still drawing injudicious judgments. We’ve been unduly patient with Iran’s mullahs. Enough is enough. Even if their potential bomb is not yet “ruggedized,” let’s not let them get any further. Does anyone doubt their evil intentions to build a ruggedized nuke with precisely calibrated triggers — and deliver it?
Remember: Iran has plenty of energy sources already. Nuclear supplies only a tiny percentage of Iranians’ needs. That they are protecting an enrichment plant deep inside mountains suggests that even they believe that peace-loving countries (i.e., their righteous enemies) would rationally want to destroy them.
