Now they want us to interfere…
The title for the article pretty much says it all: CFR to Bush: Stop Israeli strike on Iran’s nuke sites.
A report by the New York-based Council on Foreign Relations urged the Bush administration to stop any Israeli attempt to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities. The council warned that such an Israeli attack would be blamed on the United States and hurt its interests in the region.“Since Washington would be blamed for any unilateral Israeli military strike, the United States should, in any case, make it quite clear to Israel that U.S. interests would be adversely affected by such a move,” the report, entitled “Iran: Time for a New Approach,” said.
No mention is made in the article of the, shall we say, “terror-supporting” agenda of the CFR. They criticized us for “interfering” in Iraq and Afghanistan and now they want us to interfere with Israel. Gotta love the double standard.
As far astrike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, either they will do it or we will do it. The mullahs in Iran will not give up an opportunity to equalize the power in the region, not with Russia and France still backing them. The only option we may have to avert nuclear war in the Middle East may be to take out the facilities before they become operational. That situation would be even worse than what we are dealing with in N. Korea.
A peripheral concern is that “many of Iran’s nuclear facilities have been located in or near urban centers.” And whose fault is that? Dumbasses.
The U.S. report, drafted by an independent task force sponsored by the council, said Washington should resolve concerns over Iran’s nuclear weapons program by coordinating with the European Union. But the council ruled out any military attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Ruled out? Too bad they don’t have any legitmacy to say that, either in the military or political domains. I’ll laugh at them when their sponsors’ nuclear plant is a flaming pile of rubble.
