So you bought the line put out by the Leftists and media that the only reason we went into Iraq was because Saddam had stockpikes of WMD.s????""""

That's not my point. This article says US intelligence has found a nuke program in Iran. Well, we heard the same thing about Iraq before we went in. Why should I believe this intelligence is any more accurate than our Iraq intelligence was? And if you're saying it doesn't matter whether there are nukes in Iran (or Iraq) - that there are other reasons to go into Iran -- then why post this article about nukes, in the first place?

So you don't believe they have a nuclear program?

Why should I believe this intelligence is any more accurate than our Iraq intelligence was?

Because the Iranians are devoting an inordinate amount of their resources to developing long-range ballistic missiles--which, because of relatively large CEPs, are militarily worthless unless they have nuclear warheads.

In essence, the nuclear warhead is the missing piece of the Iranian IRBM weapons system.
