Drum Beaters For Iran War Should Think Again

[Purveyor]

In recent months there has been an audible increase in the drumming by those Americans most hell-bent on bombing Iran's nuclear weapons programme before the wee strange one can threaten Israel with annihilation.

The Israeli airforce can destroy one site, as it did Iraq's Osirak reactor in 1982, but only the US can mount a sustained bombing campaign to suppress Iran's air defence systems before turning to as many as 2,000 targets.

Vice-presidential adviser David Wurmser is now arguing for a two-for-the-price-of-one deal, whereby the US hits not just Iran but also Syria, in a "strategy" that is beginning to resemble the futile game of "whack a mole".

Coordinated teams of spooky folk are currently circling western capitals, none too subtly removing non-belligerent options from the table. More stringent sanctions are quickly dismissed as too slow and porous.
