Foreign Policy

The DoD intelligence report on Iran reports Iran's military is defensive only with no threat of aggression. But Iran is selling oil in currency other than the dollar, so it must be destroyed.

Pat Buchanan says Iran is no threat.

"Last week’s panic was triggered by the ouster of the pro-American Yemeni President by Houthi rebels. Suddenly, we heard wails that Iran has now captured four Arab capitals — Baghdad, Beirut, Damascus and Sanaa." 

Hardly. Shiites are not Iran.

"What about Iran’s drive to build a nuclear bomb?
Well, Israel has 100-300 atom bombs. America has thousands. Iran’s Muslim neighbor Pakistan has scores. And Iran? She has no bomb.
Iran has never tested a nuclear device. She has never produced weapons-grade uranium. Her Fordow underground plant now has IAEA inspectors and its 20-percent-enriched uranium is all being diluted. Construction of the heavy-water reactor at Arak has been halted. Half of Iran’s centrifuges are not operating. There are International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors and cameras blanketing Iran’s program.
The U.S. intelligence community has twice said Iran has no nuclear bomb program. And the most recent finding, 2011, has never been reversed by the Director of National Intelligence." 

Peace doesn't make our rulers rich.
