Scott Ritter discusses the US planned attack on Iran. “The Bush Administration has built a new generation of nuclear weapons that we call “usable nukes”, and they have a nuclear posture now which permits the preemptive use of nuclear weapons in a non-nuclear environment if the Commander in Chief deems US forces to be at significant risk.
If we start bombing Iran the Iranians will respond and we will feel the pain instantaneously which will prompt the Bush Administration to move to phase two, which will have to be boots on the ground. And we will put boots on the ground…in an effort to push the regime over, and when they don’t push over, we now have 40,000 troops trapped.
We have now reached the definition of significant numbers of troops in harms way, and there’s no reserve to pull them out. We [may] use nuclear weapons to brake the backbone of Iranian resistance and it may not work, but what it will do is this: it will unleash the nuclear genie, and so for all those Americans out there that say taking on Iran is a good thing…if we take on Iran we’re going to use nuclear weapons, and if we use nuclear weapons the genie ain’t going back in the bottle until an American city is taken out by an Islamic weapon in retaliation, so…pick your city!”

So close to reality it’s scary. As much as I’d like to think Ritter’s wrong…I doubt it.
