Seven in 10 Americans believe that Iran currently has nuclear weapons, according to a new national poll.Well that's comforting. Only a quarter of us think we should be in a third war right now. That'll work out fine. So when Co-President Netanyahu does decide to attack, all he has to say is "Yeah, we think they have nukes" and 71% of us will be fine with that.
Friday's release of the CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey comes just hours after Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said the Islamic republic isn't seeking and doesn't believe in pursuing nuclear weapons. Khamenei was responding to a draft United Nations report that said that Iran may be working to develop a nuclear weapon.
The poll indicates that 71 percent of the public says Iran has nuclear weapons, with just over one in four disagreeing. More than six in ten think the U.S. should take economic and diplomatic efforts to get Iran to shut down their nuclear program, with only a quarter calling for immediate military action.
If diplomacy "fails" then 59% of us want to see military action.
Neocon mission accomplished.
