Bush Readies Nukes for Iran Attack

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.

Hersh claims that one of the plans, presented to the White House by the
Pentagon, entails the use of a bunker-buster tactical nuclear weapon, such
as the B61-11, against underground nuclear sites. One alleged target is
Iran’s main centrifuge plant, at Natanz, 200 miles south of Teheran.

This makes a lot of sense – stop the spread of nuclear
weapons by unwrapping a few and opening a can of atomic whipass on a bunch
of unrepentent troglodytes like the Iranians. Just be careful with the
Dial-a-Yield, and keep those oil fields radiation-free.

Meanwhile, for the foreseeable future, even rumors of
military action in the region will send crude oil prices spiking, and an
actual attack would present the oil companies, once again, with the unsightly
problem of record prices and profits to hide or explain away.
