If Iran attacks Basra he will have the UK to contend with. I don't think they will do that.
I wonder if even a nuke going off over U.S. troops, on U.S.or Israeli soil would be get the libs to support a real war on all terrorists....
Sorry, but IMHO this report brings up nothing but questions:
IF Iran has in fact had ex-SovBloc nukes (plus, one must assume, replacements/service/training as a paying customer) since 1991, why devote all the treasure and effort in establishment of their own weapons program with all of the burdens of publicity, outrage and potential adverse action that program has brought to their door?
Why not take all that cash and spend it on delivery systems, keep your mouth firmly shut until you simply announce a competence rather than indulge in strident threats that accomplish nothing but alert even the most catatonic of your adversaries?
Why, for that matter, spend anything at all since you have but to provide a few of those nukes to your terrorist clients and allow THEM to be your delivery system?
Between all the restructure and consolidation of power under the secular side of Iran's government and this apparent parallel movement among religious leadership, I think that all the statements about nukes, Isreal, the US and Europe are no more than a fandance to cover the power grab AND the last dash to get enough functional nukes to support the whole facade.
If somebody has a stick in their hand, they do not need to hold a press conference before they use it to hit you in the head.
I'm sorry to say that it seems that "Alan Peters" is spinning more than usual. Maybe the rpm is higher than is advisable by the Surgeon General.
"Alan Peter's" arguments about 1991 nukes in Iranian hands doesn't make sense, for reasons noted by others. But what remains a fact on the ground is Ahmadinejad's escalation of rhetoric, very public rhetoric. There is no leader of any country that draws such attention to himself without a reason. And the part of Peter's report that is most compelling, if true, is that which deals with recent Iranian troop movements. Add to that all the contingencies surrounding Sharon's problems, and Condi canceling her long-scheduled trip to Asia, and I would say - Something is in the air that wasn't there 3 months or so ago, and that something sounds more and more ominous.
BTTT!
For those who question the credibility of Alan Peters report, I think you might find it interesting to note that I have received nothing but praise from the leading experts on Iran for having posted his article earlier on my website.
These same experts have confirmed many of the essential elements of the report and therefor your "personal attacks" on Mr. Peters are to me a sign of a lack of an ability to argue the facts of the case.
If these reports are accurate, it is very disturbing. One typically doesn't position tanks forward if the objective is defensive, but rather offensive. A limited ground strike into S. Iraq is a retalitory option that concerns me, primarly since mostly non-US forces are stationed there (primarly the Brits).
