U.S. Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter said that a deal with Iran wouldn't necessarily prevent war.
Military.com reports:
The U.S. will reserve the right to use military force to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon even if a deal is reached Iran's nuclear program, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said Tuesday.We thought that Iran getting nuclear weapons was the main reason we were thinking of bombing them. So if a peace deal is signed with the U.S., why are we still talking about bombing them?
"The military option certainly will remain on the table," Carter said as negotiators in Lausanne, Switzerland, struggled to reach an agreement ahead of a March 31 deadline.
"One of my jobs is to make sure all options are on the table,' Carter said in remarks at Syracuse University and earlier on NBC's "Today" program.
What's going on?
In reality, top American and Israeli military and intelligence officials say that Iran poses no danger.
But the hawks have desperately been trying to stir up war with Iran for decades, as part of a 65-year program of regime change all over the world carried out by the U.S.
And the U.S. has inserted itself smack dab in the middle of a religious war ... and is backing the most violent side. And see this.
The American people want peace, but the military-industrial complex wants war.
And yet the American government is STILL at a loss to understand why no-one trusts it, let alone likes it.
Perhaps the American government should take a long hard look at itself and try to figure out just why it's hated by more and more people all over the world, including it's own allies.
And then perhaps start to figure out just what's in store for it with this little empire building game of theirs.
