BOMB Iran Now!

As I pointed out yesterday the fact that Mohamed ElBaradei has said that Iran are three to eight years from obtaining a nuclear weapon - and that's making the very large assumption that they want one - would make no difference at all to the people who want to attack Iran. Here we see Chris Matthews dismantle Joshua Muravchik's arguments for bombing Iran in the short-term.

Muravchik has no real reason for why Iran should be attacked, he seems to simply argue that it has to be done at some point, so why not now? And let's remember that Bush and Cheney have never proved that Iran want a nuclear weapon and yet the point has been reduced to "Can we live with a nuclear Iran?" without anyone proving that Iran even desires a nuclear weapon.
