Chances of attacking Iran between slim and none

Chances of attacking Iran between slim and none

ALBERT R. HUNT
GUEST COLUMNIST

President Bush raises the specter of World War III if Iran goes nuclear. Vice President Dick Cheney threatens military action. Neoconservative Norman Podhoretz urges the U.S. to bomb the country. And the Senate passes a resolution that critics say is a blank check for war
Moreover, unlike 2002 when the neoconservative war hawks, led by the Pentagon and the vice president's office, were dominant, other leading figures in the administration -- Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Admiral William Fallon, the head of Central Command for the Middle East, and probably Condoleezza Rice all think military engagement with Iran is a recipe for disaster
