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.
President George W Bush is said to be so alarmed by the threat of Iran's hard-line leader, Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, that privately he refers to him as "the new Hitler", says Seymour Hersh, who broke the story of the Abu Ghraib Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal.
Remember something.
It sounds scary, but just remember Theodore Roosevelt's quote, "speak softly and carry a big stick." The stick is only as big as the one your opponent credibly thinks you're willing to use. We're being blackmailed pretty effectively by Iran economically, militarily, and through terrorism and nuclear weapons. Not all of their threats are credible, and a key to a diplomatic solution is Iran understanding that our threats are very credible.
