"We just don't know when, but it's going to happen," Scott Ritter said to a crowd of about 150 at the James A. Little Theater on Sunday night.

Ritter described how the U.S. government might justify war with Iran in a scenario similar to the buildup to the Iraq invasion. He also argued that Iran wants a nuclear energy program, and not nuclear weapons. But the Bush administration, he said, refuses to believe Iran is telling the truth.

He predicted the matter will wind up before the U.N. Security Council, which will determine there is no evidence of a weapons program. Then, he said, John Bolton, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, "will deliver a speech that has already been written. It says America cannot allow Iran to threaten the United States and we must unilaterally defend ourselves."

"How do I know this? I've talked to Bolton's speechwriter," Ritter said.

Ritter also predicted the military strategy for war with Iran. First, American forces will bomb Iran. If Iranians don't overthrow the current government, as Bush hopes they will, Iran will probably attack Israel. Then, Ritter said, the United States will drop a nuclear bomb on Iran.

2. so if they do this,

will it be a "little" or a "big" bomb? will it be a hydrogen bomb? how far will the radiation and poison spread? what about the ozone? i wish i could believe there's no way they would do this, that they realize the implications, but common sense has not been their strong suit. i don't want to be alive for this.

4. It has long been a centerpiece of the PNAC ideology.

sometimes referred to as the Neo-Cons, that a nuclear war with those who might try to keep us from being king of the hill in this century, was winnable. They have been talking this insanity since the early 90's and it has always scared the hell out of me but, we might just be on the verge of them trying to play it out.

7. They will fail at winning it, or fail at doing it?

Two different topics.

Just like Iraq, we will go down that familiar path.
