Neocons Turn Up Heat for Iran Attack
by Jim Lobe April 14, 2006
excerpt from article:
Led by a familiar clutch of neoconservative hawks, major right-wing
publications are calling on the administration of President George W.
Bush to urgently plan for military strikes - and possibly a wider
war - against Iran in the wake of its announcement this week that
it has successfully enriched uranium to a purity necessary to fuel
nuclear reactors.
In a veritable blitz of editorials and opinion pieces published
Wednesday and Thursday, the Wall Street Journal, the Weekly Standard,
and National Review warned that Tehran had passed a significant
benchmark in what they declared was its quest for nuclear weapons and
that the administration must now plan in earnest to destroy Iran's
known nuclear facilities, as well as possible military targets, to
prevent it from retaliating.
