In the run-up to the invasion of Iraq, Scott Ritter's War on
Iraq was embraced by the antiwar movement in America even
though his claims that Iraq had been effectively disarmed
were ignored by both the Bush administration and the
mainstream media. In the wake of the debacle, Ritter has
been vindicated. Now Ritter, a former United Nations weapons
inspector, has set his sights on the White House's hyping of
Iran's alleged nuclear weapons program. In Target Iran he
once again sets the record straight.
This book offers Ritter's “national intelligence assessment”
of the Iranian imbroglio. He examines the Bush
administration's regime-change policy and the potential of
Iran to threaten U.S. national security interests. The
author also considers how the country is seen by other
interested parties, including the United Kingdom (Tony Blair
may once again be called upon by Bush to provide an
international “cover” in any confrontation), Israel (the
Israelis view Iran as their number one threat today), and
the International Atomic Energy Agency (responsible for
inspecting the alleged nuclear program).
