Dick Chaney recently said that the United States will never allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. Mohamed ElBaradei, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said Monday that Iran would need 3 - 8 years to develop a nuke. He said this in the context of advocating against military measures against Iran, saying in effect, "we have plenty of time."
I wonder, how can Dick Chaney be sure that the United States will not allow Iran to go nuclear unless an attack is being planned before Bush and Cheney leave office? I don't think he has the confidence that Hillary or any Democrat would definitely go to war to stop Iran if the present administration doesn't do it. And three years is not a long time. Coming at the time it does, I think this indicates the high probability of some kind of attack against Iran.
Also, there have been reports that Syria has started a program to develop nukes and that Israel has already bombed one of their facilities.
