Why there will be a nuclear pre-emptive strike on Iran

Henrietta Bowman at Sierra Times - Ms. Bowman thinks that the U.S. will use bunker-buster nukes to initiate war on Iran. She backs up her opinion with some long articles, which I didn't read. Don't know if this will happen. I guess we'll find out. A comment from "Riflemanin Training":

Technically, anywhere our government has used Depleted Uranium for a strike has been a nuclear attack, including all engagement sites in the Middle East for the last 20 years.

Ron Paul wrote an article a few days ago titled "Iran: The Next Neocon Target" (http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul315.html)

In the article, he quotes an Israeli historian, Martin Van Creveld: "Obviously, we dont want Iran to have a nuclear weapon, and I dont know if theyre developing them, but if they are not developing them, they're crazy."

I got some good advice from a guy that's worked in defense for a while.

His take is that we should park an Ohio class sub in the Persian gulf and let Iran know that if we detect a ballastic launch to the west we're going to nuke them. If a nuke goes off in America they get nuked too.

Seems workable to me. Seems like the only logical option at this point.

Of course, if you -want- to start a war that isn't very logical... let's see which way this administartion heads.
