Iran Nuclear Watch: Are the Latest U.S. Sanctions the Last Stop Before Military Action?

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (R) announces economic sanctions on Iran to pressure it to halt its nuclear program as U.S. Secretary of Treasury Henry Paulson stands next to her at the State Department in Washington October 25, 2007.

Are the latest United States economic sanctions the end of the line for Iran’s nuclear program?

Apparently

B-2 Stealth Bomber. Citing an “urgent operational need”, the Pentagon has asked Congress for funds to modify B-2 stealth bombers to deliver an experimental 30,000 pound, satellite-guided bunker busting bomb, officials said Wednesday.

Why else was this leaked and why are these B-2’s in Guam?

An $88 million appropriation is nothing and does anyone want to bet one of these Guam visiting B-2’s are already modified? Besides the 30,000 pound “Bunker Buster” bomb can already be delivered by the B-1 or B-52. They are just not “STEALTH” and could be intercepted by Iranian anti-aircraft defenses.
