The Nucular Itch

Hans Blix proffers an anti-pruitic. He was dead-nuts right about Iraq and we went in and blew 'em up anyway. Now we have an Iraq that is more of a threat than it ever was under Sadaam. Just think of the opportunities for Halliburton and company, though, in reconstructing an irradiated Iran! Extra charge for thermonuclear duty. In the meantime, the rest of the world would be up to its neck in jihad.

Blix: Iran Years Away From Nuclear Bomb - CBS News

(AP) Former U.N. chief weapons inspector Hans Blix said Monday that Iran is a least five years away from developing a nuclear bomb, leaving time to peacefully negotiate a settlement.

Blix, attending an energy conference in western Norway, said he doubted the U.S. would resort to invading Iran.

"But there is a chance that the U.S. will use bombs or missiles against several sites in Iran," he was quoted by Norwegian news agency NTB as saying. "Then, the reactions would be strong, and would contribute to increased terrorism."
