Answer 2

We will definitely be bombing Iran soon, its only a matter of which Commander in Chief will be the one making the call. Besides, as much as I respect General Powell, he is no longer privy to the intelligence the global community has. The US knew about the Iran situation in the beginning of the 90s, so its been on the global radar for quite some time.

Answer 3

That cowboy with his itchy trigger finger is liable to do anything. Powell is a smart man. People should heed what he says. Too bad he got mixed up with Dubya a few years back he might have been a good choice for President or Vice President.

Answer 4

Trigger happy Bush doesn't care what anyone says. Even if the Iranians cave.

However I do believe that it is no one's interest that the Iranians posses WMD. Not even the Iranians. If they are developing Nuclear weapons "I hope they aren't", then maybe it is not very wise to intimidate Trigger Happy Iranians who happen to have nukes.

The real question is "who comes after Iran, and after that, and after that...." Will the madness ever end

God Save our souls

Answer 5

Gosh... the US was able to put 'em together in less than three years between 1942 and 1945, using 1930s technology and starting from scratch. I'm no nuclear scientist, but I don't see why any modern, technologically-savvy, and well-financed state needs ten years or more now.

Answer 6

the neocons and the PNAC team are speaking bullshite, Iran have Russia and China as allies, Iran is superior than Iraq and Afghanistan prepare. apart from China and Russia have everlasting seats on the U. S. they're going to use their political skill to block Bush. the yankee human beings and Congress do no longer choose war with Iran, Bush will might desire to win at domicile first. Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney stay in a Dr Strangelove fantasy international the place they anticipate wrongly in the words of former warmonger Nixon "The President can bomb who he needs ! ". thankfully they cant bomb who they choose anymore even nevertheless they have been given away with Iraq. it style of feels we are heading backward to the chilly war days with neo cons attempting to be sure Islam because of the fact the hot communism, on area you have an american human beings dictated to via the Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney company dictat and the different area , Iran subsidized via Russia and China. with a bit of luck the mere concept of war of words with Russia , China on an economic, militaristic and political front will scare the Bush dictatorship into leaving place of work quietly on the top of his very final term. additionally it style of feels that Gordon Brown is attempting his toughest to do away with british troops from Iraq and distance britain from Bush distant places coverage. with a bit of luck Britain won't offfer any help to the Bush dictatorship against Iran.

Answer 7

The UN report has it at 7 years or less. Russia or China could even give Iran nukes just to protect their oil supply.

Answer 9

It shows that Powell is still upset for being used by Bush to start a lie-based war in Iraq. He apparently isn't going to keep silent this time around.

Answer 10

No, remember Bush listens only to Cheney and God. And both are telling him that Iran is evil.
