Elizabeth Warren Supports Iran Military Intervention?

This is disheartening. According to Elizabeth Warren's own website, she looks to be confirming a stance on Iran's nuclear capabilities completely out of sync with conclusions of several senior U.S. defense officials.

According to Warren's website, "Iran is a significant threat to the United States and our allies. Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons, it is an active state sponsor of terrorism, and its leaders have consistently challenged Israel’s right to exist. Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons is unacceptable because a nuclear Iran would be a threat to the United States, our allies, the region, and the world."

However, according to many leading defense dept. officials, and even some high-ranking members of Israel's military, Iran is not in fact pursuing a nuclear weapon. Warren's inclusion of this statement is synonymous with many drumming the beats of war with Iran, pitting her more in line with many prominent Republicans on this issue, including presumptive republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney.

Warren does not explicitly state military intervention, though. "I support strong sanctions against Iran and believe that the United States must also continue to take a leadership role in pushing other countries to implement strong sanctions as well." It's good to see her pushing the diplomatic route on this, but even parroting the notion of Iran's supposed nuclear capabilities is dangerous, and might even come back to haunt her as this election season rolls on.
