Obama's 0% doctrine on Iran

Obama's 0% doctrine on Iran

Dick Cheney's premise that even a 1% chance of an attack on the US must be dealt with as if it were a certainty has been rendered obsolete. Now, says the current occupant of the White House, no direct threat to the US needs to exist to justify preemptive war - the prerogative for which lies not with Congress but with "the presidential 'I'". - Tom Engelhardt (Mar 12, '12)
