The latest WMD debate
So some ‘American intelligence analysts’ believe there’s no hard evidence Iran plans to build a nuclear bomb. Normally, I’d say this is good news. But a certain ghost will always hover over these types of WMD reports. … I was tempted to say, ‘Let’s sic Scott Ritter on this story.’ He was ultimately proven right about Saddam not having WMDs. But, ah, um, Scott’s busy these days. …
For the record, Hub Blog is preemptively declaring my bold stance on future pro-preemptive-strike stances: No to bombing. ... And can we please build the Keystone pipeline? A pipeline running through North America makes a heck of a lot more sense than keeping an entire U.S. aircraft carrier strike force on constant alert in the Strait of Hormuz. Correct? At the same time we can expand our use of alternative energies to reduce carbon emissions. It's really not that complicated.
