Up until recently I ordsprog

en Up until recently, I dismissed talk of military strikes against Iran as posturing or left-wing conspiracy theories.

en [Given these differences it is very unlikely that America will be able to pass a resolution that justifies use of military force against Iran. Not only are the Chinese and Russians opposed to military action but so are the Europeans. In August 2005, Chancellor Schroeder responding to Bush said,] My answer to that is: 'Dear friends in Europe and America, let's develop a strong negotiating position towards Iran, but take the military option off the table. ... Nobody is proposing military action in regard of Iran. This is an issue that needs to be resolved, and can only be resolved, by diplomatic means.

en We cannot take the military option off the table. But we have to make it very clear (that)] it is the last option. There is only one thing worse than the United States exercising a military option, and that is Iran having nuclear weapons.

en As we speak, before the third anniversary of the war, the U.S. military does not control the capital, it faces a guerilla movement in Sunni Arab areas that is stronger than ever before. It faces a country that came very recently to the brink of an all-out civil war -- about which the U.S. military could do nothing. It is a bleak picture.

en It would be a preventive military option, not preemptive because there's no imminent threat of use [of nuclear weapons]. So it would be preventive to basically short-circuit the development.

But something more limited, to basically destroy or set back their nuclear development -- a classic preventive military strike.

en The U.S. military is reluctant to be drawn into a counterinsurgency war. They don't think it's possible to say you're going to go down there and help the Colombian military shoot drug traffickers without shooting at the FARC, and that makes them very nervous. It's a rebellion that's been going on for some 40 years, and it's plainly not going to come to an end soon -- the Pentagon fears it's a whirlpool that's going to suck them in.

en Surely, the reports will spur debate about U.S. military action against Iran, particularly since U.S.-Iran talks regarding Iraq are tentatively scheduled for mid-April and because U.S. military action would be opposed by most world leaders.
