Richard Perle: Bush Will Bomb Iran
Last update - 01:19 22/01/2007

Prominent lobbyist Perle: U.S. will attack Iran if it obtains nukes

By Yossi Melman and Mazal Mualem, Haaretz Correspondents

President George Bush will order an attack on Iran if it becomes clear to him that Iran is set to acquire nuclear weapons capabilities while he is still in office, Richard Perle told the Herzliya Conference on Sunday. Perle is close to the Bush administration, particularly to Vice President Richard Cheney.

The leading neoconservative and fellow at the American Enterprise Institute addressed the session on Iran's nuclear program. He said that the present policy of attempting to impose sanctions on Iran will not cause it to abandon its nuclear aspirations, and unless stopped the country will become a nuclear power.

2. If I were religious, I would assign Pearle & Cheney to the Legions of HELL.
Evil is subjective, but I think many would argue that these two black-hearted, visionary, nutballs are PURE EVIL. I will not shed a tear upon hearing of either's demise.

6. How stupid do they think we ARE?!?!
President George Bush will order an attack on Iran if it becomes clear to him that Iran is set to acquire nuclear weapons capabilities...


Right. Just like it was "clear" to G. Bush that IRAQ was "set to acquire nuclear weapons capabilities".

In other words, attacking Iran will be justified by the very very same liars, using the same lies they used to justify attacking and invading Iraq.

And we're supposed to just go along with it...

:argh:

7. Since Iran is not close to nuke weapons, this is trial 2008 rhetoric, since
Pearl has very likely consulted with WH on taking this tack. "Leading neoconservative"? Now an oxymoron.
