Ex-CIA Chief: Strike on Iran More Likely
(AP-Washington Post) Former CIA director Michael Hayden says military action against Iran now seems more likely because no matter what the U.S. does diplomatically, Tehran keeps pushing ahead with its suspected nuclear program. Hayden said that during his tenure as CIA chief under President George W. Bush, a strike was "way down the list" of options. But he told CNN's "State of the Union" that such action now "seems inexorable." He predicted Iran will build its program to the point where it's just below having an actual weapon, and said that would be as destabilizing to the region as the real thing.
