Hey! (part 2)

Remember when I said we're going to war with Iran?  We'll the chief spook of the state department says I was right.

In the interview, Panetta also refused to rule out military action to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons but unlike previous statements he made no mention of the potential risks associated with a strike that he has warned of repeatedly.
“If they proceed and we get intelligence that they’re proceeding in developing a nuclear weapon, then we will take whatever steps are necessary to stop it,” Panetta said.

Also, apparently even though we've famously relied on inspectors before, Mr. Panetta is convinced they'd be helpful here, too:

The Pentagon insisted Panetta’s view of Iran’s nuclear project had not changed and stressed that if Tehran made the decision to produce weapons-grade uranium, it would be detected by UN inspectors who have regular access to the country’s facilities.
“Should they make a decision to move to highly enriched uranium, those inspectors would be able to readily detect it,” Captain John Kirby told reporters.

Does all this sound familiar? It really should.  Really, really.

It's like an episode of America Meets World.  We win the Nobel Prize in the Stupidity Olympics.
