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

President George Bush will order an attack on Iran. If it becomes clear to him that Iran is set to acquire weapons capabilities while he is still in office........

[word_warrior_bob]

They're trying to obtain nukes, isn't that enough? It's enough for me, especially since he's threatened to use them against Israel and the U.S., and no doubt he would help terrorists with the technology.

I wonder where alot of Hillary's campaign dollars are going to come from??? How long before she is on a plane to Iran???

[SolidWood]

Please don't alter the headline. Especially in this case the full headline show the importance, since it's Richard Perle claiming this. "Prominent lobbyist Perle: U.S. will attack Iran if it obtains nukes"

[King Moonracer]

Send Al Gore, he's the bag-o-money man.

[EyeGuy]

Not enough that they continue to be directly instrumental in killing American soldiers?

Welcome to FR

[Mr. Mojo]

No, the idea is to attack Iran before they obtain nukes.

....that's right libs, pre-emptively.

They just have to wait until Bush is gone … doubt the next president (D or R) will have the cojones that this one has. It will probably be up to the Israelis, and if they keep their current (lawyer) leader, nothing will happen until it is to late.

I had to laugh at your use of the Mexican word for the Presidential dangles. That explains the illegal alien situation. We need a leader with American ... uh ... resolve.

[stockpirate]

I think the US (George Bush) should give Iran about 10 nukes and this would stop the whole problem, they have their nukes.

We could drop them on each of thir major cities.

[Grizzled Bear]

Yes! Let's send Al Bore to Iran. Make sure he talks about Global Warming while he's there. Iran is not equipped to deal with blizzards!

[canuck_conservative]

North Korea has nukes, has threatened to use them against Japan, South Korea, and the US, and nothing is being done about attacking them.


Why would Iran be any different?

[doc1019]

Gotcha’ and it WAS intentional … glad someone caught it.

To prevent duplication, please do not alter the title. Thanks.

From your profile --- "I do not enjoy seeing people being made fun of" -- you probably won't be around long. Heh.

[TheRedSoxWinThePennant]

I would prefer we did it BEFORE THEY GOT NUKES!!!!

Although president mamdamapajama or however you say his name this week is a kook, I highly doubt he would take a strike sitting down. I would expect he would try to light up Israel with a nuke if provoked.

[arthurus]

And we wont "know" Iran has actually obtained nukes until they test one on Tel Aviv...

[MLedeen]

He is not a lobbyist. Misleading headline.

[DrGunsforHands]

Probably because North Korea isn't an Islamic state.
