Entry: The Smear Bund Never Rests Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_smear_bund_never_rests#12536 Post contents: We don’t want to leave out the Weekly Standard, the little magazine that was given to another Neocon Mafia Godfather’s son, namely William Kristol. Way back in April of 2006 the Weekly Standard had a cover story entitled “To Bomb or Not to Bomb: That is the Iran Question.” As you can see below from the conclusion, the Neocons at the Weekly Standard thought that fighting a war against Iran was just the ticket. To Bomb, or Not to Bomb That is the Iran question. by Reuel Marc Gerecht 04/24/2006, Volume 011, Issue 30 http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/012/100mmysk.asp So we will all have to wait for President Bush to decide whether nuclear weapons in the hands of Khamenei, Rafsanjani, Ahmadinejad, and the Revolutionary Guards Corps are something we can live with. Given the Islamic Republic's dark history, the burden of proof ought to be on those who favor accommodating a nuclear Iran. Those who are unwilling to accommodate it, however, need to be honest and admit that diplomacy and sanctions and covert operations probably won't succeed, and that we may have to fight a war--perhaps sooner rather than later--to stop such evil men from obtaining the worst weapons we know.
