“Time is Running Out” To Prevent Nuclear Iran

From The Bipartisan Research Center:

Senators Coats, Robb and General Wald call for a “more coercive strategy”.

Washington, D.C. - Former U.S. Senators Daniel Coats and Charles Robb and General (ret.) Charles Wald, members of the Bipartisan Policy Center’s (BPC) National Security Initiative, today released a report warning that “time is running out” to prevent a nuclear weapons-capable Iran. Concluding that “the Islamic Republic will be able to produce enough fissile material for a nuclear weapon by 2010,” the report, entitled “Meeting the Challenge: Time is Running Out,” calls on the Obama Administration to adopt a more forceful, phased strategy towards Iran, including: accelerated, defined diplomatic engagement; more “coercive” international sanctions; and, if Iranian defiance continues unabated, potential surgical military action.

My Comment: These Senators feel confident that the U.S. has the resources and facilities to knock out Iran's nuclear facilities, and that the U.S. should position themselves for such an eventuality.

I am sure the U.S. can successfully conduct a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. But the issue has never been the ability of the U.S. to attack Iran's nuclear facilities .... that is a given. The issue has always been Iranian blow back, and are we willing to take them on after such a military strike.

Personally .... I do not think the U.S. will conduct such a strike. The American people do not have the desire nor will to start another war .... I include President Obama in this group.
