Permalink Gates plays down Iran-war memo

US Defense Secretary Robert Gates moves for damage control amid revelations that he advocated the use of military action against Iran in a top secret memo. In the classified three-page memorandum, which crept into public view on Sunday, Gates had reportedly warned the White House that it lacks an effective long-term plan for dealing with Iran's nuclear program and should therefore come up with new options, including the use of military force.

AntiWar: Gates Memo Sought ‘Military Options’ Against Iran:

The real issue raised by the Gates memo is that the presumptive future status of Iran as “virtual” nuclear power, without actually violating the nuclear NPT in any way or doing anything but continuing their civilian nuclear program, would be sufficient justification for a military attack. This would seem to lower the bar considerably, and would moot the issue of the inability of the Bush and now Obama Administrations to provide any specific evidence of Iranian wrongdoing.
