I didn't pick up his claim that Iran had a nucleur weapons program. I remember he did imply that U.S. saber rattling only ensures that Iran feels threatened and would more likely seek to obtain nucleur weapons.Obi wan liberalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04425739293622553830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1096954374118087231.post-965387048841474892008-06-20T22:19:00.000+02:002008-06-20T22:19:00.000+02:00Um, make that "pretty sure." :-(Um, make that "pretty sure." :-(rmwarnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10948594032787232166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1096954374118087231.post-89242071380613558782008-06-20T22:18:00.000+02:002008-06-20T22:18:00.000+02:00I'm pretty rue I read the same book, and Gore defi...I'm pretty rue I read the same book, and Gore definitely pulls his punches. He never calls for impeachment of Bush and Cheney, and even stipulates that Iran has a nuclear weapons program.
