Mistake of Iraq gets repeated
Reader comment on item: That NIE Makes War against Iran More Likely
Submitted by matthew varani (United States), Dec 14, 2007 at 21:27
This is the same botched and contridictory intelligence we got in 2002-2003 before we attacked Iraq. I believe it would be a horrible mistake if we allowed military action to proceed against iran with so little real information. The neo-cons and their supplicants ...have not given a serious reason as to why an islamic nation like Iran cannot have nuclear power/weapons.
