Bush Will Use Nukes on Iran!


“The Bush administration is planning to use nuclear weapons against Iran, to prevent it acquiring its own atomic warheads, claims an investigative writer with high-level Pentagon and intelligence contacts.” News Telegraph


A senior pentagon source has reveled that intense military planning is underway for a possible confrontation with Iran over its nuclear weapons program. "The Bush team is looking at the viability of airstrikes simply because many think airstrikes are the only real option ahead" said Kurt Campbell, a former Pentagon policy official. At this juncture the planning is most likely meant to pressure Iran at the diplomatic table as military action is not yet imminent.

While the source claims that a ground invasion of Iran is not being considered at this time other military options available to the president are being explored such as a sustained air campaign, submarine launched ballistic missiles (SLBM’s), and even the use of tactical nuclear weapons. Possible targets might include the uranium enrichment plant at Natanz and the uranium conversion facility at Isfahan. The British press especially is concerned that President Bush is considering the use of tactical nuclear weapons to spite some objections within the Pentagon. One possible contingency entails the use of a bunker-buster tactical nuclear weapon, such as the B61-11, against underground nuclear sites like those around Natanz.

President Bush is said to believe that he must definativly deal with the Iranian menace before the end of his presidency. A senior Pentagon consultant said that Mr Bush believes that he must do "what no Democrat or Republican, if elected in the future, would have the courage to do," and "that saving Iran is going to be his legacy". According to Seymour Hersh of the New Yorker, Bush is said to describe Iranian hard line President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad as "the new Hitler” that “will get a strategic weapon and threaten another world war." In the eyes of President Bush this would be an unacceptable outcome and regime change may be the only option to prevent such a conflict.


Evil requires force to stop its spread

If these reports are true than the president clearly understands the threat to world peace posed by Iran. While idealistic liberals cry for “world peace” and “diplomacy” the sad reality is that mankind has always been historically confronted with evil. Such evil cannot be reasoned or negotiated with in order to keep the peace. History has taught us that the very nature of evil requires force to stop its spread. Would Hitler or Imperial Japan have come around to diplomacy? If you are a liberal and still confused just ask former British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain who returned from a 1938 meeting in Munich with Hitler with an agreement for “Peace in our Time.” After words Chamberlain said "My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time... Go home and get a nice quiet sleep." It was that type of weak naiveté that doomed mankind to World War II.

History has taught us that the only answer to evil like that posed by Iran is to confront it with decisive military force. While regime change in Iran is ideal, it is not likely to happen soon enough. Therefore the sooner we deal with Iran militarily the better the world will be. While war is never anyone’s first option, sometimes it is the only way to save lives.

When President Truman dropped the atomic bombs on Japan, over 170,000 Japanese were killed in the fireball. Thousands more were injured. While liberals are still crying about those causalities and injuries today imagine if the U.S. would have instead invaded Japan. The entire country would have been destroyed, millions of Japanese would have been killed, and at least one million Americans would have died. Therefore the horrific power of the bombs actually saved lives and stopped evil on the march.

Iran must be dealt with today so the world does not regret its inaction tomorrow as Chamberlain must have. A smaller war now, that even included nukes, is much more preferable to a larger conflict later when Iran also has the bomb. President Bush understands this concept and with that I “go home and get a nice quiet sleep.”
