Robert Gates Warns: Nuclear Trouble


Robert Gates has sent a memo warning the Obama administration that they lack a proper plan for how to deal with Iran's possible nuclear capabilities, and his report is being taken as evidence that we need to "pull the trigger" on sanctions against the country, as Jon McCain put it.

Said one official, "All we really know is that Iran is widening and deepening its nuclear weapons capabilities. We don't have any insight into what they're thinking about doing -- whether they'll just live with a nuclear weapons capability which will probably include learning more about nuclear weapons themselves, or they'll actually build them."

White House officials say they are not changing their approach because of the Gates memo, though some reports have suggested otherwise.

Sen. John McCain renewed his call for the United States to "pull the trigger" on sanctions against Iran and more, after a memo from Defense Secretary Robert Gates to the White House warned that the United States lacks a long-term plan for dealing with Iran's nuclear program.
