US Could Bomb Iran Nuclear Sites in 2007
"I think he is going to do it," John Pike, director of Globalsecurity.org, a military issues think tank, told AFP.Sometimes things just fall into place. An assassination in Lebanon blamed on Syria and Iran. Lebanon ready to explode... What a coincidence.
"They are going to bomb WMD facilities next summer," he added, referring to nuclear facilities Iran says are for peaceful uses and Washington insists are really intended to make nuclear bombs, or weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
In a Sunday op-ed piece in the Los Angeles Times, Joshua Muarvchik, resident scholar at the neoconservative American Enterprise Institute, called for getting tough with Iran.
"We must bomb Iran," he said. "The path of diplomacy and sanctions has led nowhere ... Our options therefore are narrowed to two: we can prepare to live with a nuclear-armed Iran, or we can use force to prevent it."
Israel has also been pushing Washington to get tough on Iran.
