With a little help from my friends

There have been a couple of interesting turns lately in the fight over what to do about Iran. First of all, a new report by a British expert suggests that attacking Iran may actually motivate it to develop a handful of low-level nuclear weapons and then try and use them against us or our allies.

From the BBC:

In his report, Frank Barnaby argues that an attack might not destroy all of the nuclear programme. In its wake, it would be much more feasible for Tehran's political leadership to pull out of the Non-Proliferation Treaty and launch a crash programme, devoting maximum resources to developing one or two bombs as quickly as possible.

This, it is argued, means that a nuclear-armed Iran might end up occurring sooner rather than later as a result of military intervention.

You hear that, shit-for-brains? And guess what else? That analysis MAKES SENSE. It would be only logical for Ahmadinejad to try and boost whatever programs he thought would stop U.S. bombing raids, and if a counter attack or even the threat of a counter attack, especially a nuclear one, was feasible, of course he'd fucking do it!

But hopefully it won't come to that. My new hero, Senator Jim Webb, has introduced legislation that would prohibit funding for an attack on Iran without Congress's express approval. Good for him. The only problem with it is that he's a freshman legislator. Where the hell are all the veterans on this? Come on, Reid! What the fuck?

Since when has the president listened to Jim Webb, right? Definitely not since Webb said he wanted to kick the crap out of Shrub. And right now, all signs are pointing to war. Or at least airstrikes.

In any case, Shrub is still giving the go-ahead for us to build a bunch of new nukes. Yay. It's like the 80's again...
