New York Times Oped: To Stop Iran’s Bomb, Bomb Iran

I honestly do not know how this could be accomplished without NUCLEAR BUNKER-BUSTERS.

 New York Times Oped: To Stop Iran’s Bomb, Bomb Iran

In theory, comprehensive international sanctions, rigorously enforced and universally adhered to, might have broken the back of Iran’s nuclear program. But the sanctions imposed have not met those criteria. 

Naturally, Tehran wants to be free of them, but the president’s own director of National Intelligence testified in 2014 that they had not stopped Iran’s progressing its nuclear program. T 

here is now widespread acknowledgment that the rosy 2007 National Intelligence Estimate, which judged that Iran’s weapons program was halted in 2003, was an embarrassment, little more than wishful thinking.

The inescapable conclusion is that Iran will not negotiate away its nuclear program. 

Nor will sanctions block its building a broad and deep weapons infrastructure. 

The inconvenient truth is that only military action like Israel’s 1981 attack on Saddam Hussein’s Osirak reactor in Iraq or its2007 destruction of a Syrian reactor, designed and built by North Korea,can accomplish what is required. Time is terribly short, but a strike can still succeed.
