War talk lands Bush in crater

Even if iran is building Nukes, Bush and Cheney are not trustworthy enough to manage a war with Iran, nor do they have the moral authority of a mole.

War talk lands Bush in crater Defence The Australian:

"THERE is something unreal about the bellicose statements coming from some sources in the Bush administration towards Iran.

On their face, they make a kind of sense. In terms of pure military force, the US probably could do a great deal of damage to Iran's malevolent attempt to gain nuclear weapons. But so what? The same could have been said about Iraq in 2002.

Yes, the US military did have the capacity to destroy Saddam's regime. And it did so in three weeks. The salient question was and is: what then? It appears that the Bush administration never seriously asked that question in advance of war in Iraq and never made serious plans for the post-invasion period.

I don't think even Donald Rumsfeld is nuts enough not to ask that question this time with respect to Iran. The military option is much more difficult, of course. Iran learnt from Saddam's Iraq and has dispersed its nuclear research and development sites across the country. The US cannot invade and occupy two huge countries at the same time. "
