Paul Warns Strike Against Iran Still A Possibility []

12/27/2007 4:45:25 PM Long shot Republican presidential hopeful Representative Ron Paul said Thursday that there is a “great possibility” that the U.S. will take military action against Iran despite evidence Tehran has halted its nuclear program.

Appearing on MSBNC's “Morning Joe” program, the longtime, libertarian-leaning Texas congressman warned that some in Washington are itching to start another military conflict in the Middle East.

“It is getting worse over there,” he said. “Afghanistan is getting worse. Turkey is bombing Iraq. And Pakistan is blowing up and we're getting ready to bomb Iran. A bunch of those neocons want to bomb Iran.”

Paul said he did not believe that the recent National Intelligence Estimate, which determined Iran hadn't actively pursued a nuclear weapon since 2003, would be sufficient to deter a strike.

“I think it's a great possibility. Read Seymour Hersh. He is the expert over there,” said Paul of the Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist, who has previously reported that the U.S. is preparing a preemptive strike against Iran.

“The Iranian Revolutionary Guard has been declared a terrorist organization for the purpose of them being the targets rather than had the nuclear power plants,” Paul said. “So, wait and see... there are still quite a few neoconservatives that want to go after Iran under these unbelievable conditions.”
