Ex-CIA chief: Strike on Iran seems more likely now

[boston bean]

WASHINGTON -- A former CIA director says military action against Iran now seems more likely because no matter what the U.S. does diplomatically, Tehran keeps pushing ahead with its suspected nuclear program.

Michael Hayden, a CIA chief under President George W. Bush, says that during his tenure a strike was "way down the list" of options. But he tells CNN's "State of the Union" that such action now "seems inexorable."

He predicts Iran will build its program to the point where it's just below having an actual weapon. Hayden says that would be as destabilizing to the region as the real thing.

U.S. officials have said military action remains an option if sanctions fail to deter Iran.

1. More horse shit from a miltary hawk

who wants to see the middle east in flames just because he loves war so much.

If you thought Stupid's war on Iraq was a bad foreign policy decision, a stupid escalation with Iran would be a thousand times worse.

4. My wife was just reading something to me from online

that was saying that the Saudis, the UAE, and other Sunni countries are urging us to--you know, bomb-bomb-bomb, bomb-bomb-Iran--and that the odds of it happening seem to be drastically increasing because BO seems not entirely unwilling to go along with the plan. Saudi Arabia in particular is threatening to go nuclear itelf if Iran gets the bomb. This of course would provide the Jihadists access to a nuke as soon as they manage to topple the Royal Family.

8. It's high time we figure out that none of these countries are our friends

and that their governments would all love to see the great Satan toppled by another ruinous war, especially one that they could sit back and watch that destroyed an ancient enemy.

Obama needs to wake up and smell the horseshit fast. And this old guy should go back to his golf game.

5. You get no argument from me.

But this guy, why is he saying this?

He's not in the admin?

7. I'm embarrassed to admit that when I ran it down,

it turned out to be a highly disreputable source, namely, Webster Tarpley, who is about as trustworthy as Lyndon Larouche (with whom he seems to have some connections).

I was took, and I'm here to admit it.

11. He is a neo con hawk

so stirring shit is what neocons do.

2. The neocons keep daring Israel to "pull the trigger".

3. Ugh. He's just having a wet dream.

:puke:

6. What a BIG Bunch of Poop

It's not about Iran having nukes. It's about Iran being resistant to the big oil companies and the big banks.

fer hecks sake Pakistan of all places has nukes and they have the most "terror" training camps in the entire world. And we helped them get their nukes. Stop saying it's about the nukes, that's just like saying Iraq had WMD's.

Iran is one of the few countries left to defy the Builderbergs one world bank/government, that's what this is really about.

12. I heard that ahmadinejad fell asleep in his soup during a boring play at the Bohemian Grove

as such, he won't be invited back.

THAT'S what this is *really* about.

13. While he was asleep, a gang of Mossad agents stole his liver and auctioned it off on Ebay.

It sold for $1.92.
