Bombing Iran "not worst outcome"

Ex-CIA chief says

(AFP) – A former CIA director said Sunday he had come around to the view that military action against Iran's nuclear program "may not be the worst of the possible outcomes."

Hayden said that when he was in office the so-called "kinetic option," a euphemism for air strikes, was "way down on our list." "In my personal thinking, and I need to emphasize that, I have begun to consider that may not be the worst of the possible outcomes." >>>

"WASHINGTON — In a July 25 story, The Associated Press reported that former CIA Director Michael Hayden told CNN's "State of the Union" that U.S. military action against Iran now "seems inexorable." A spokeswoman for Hayden responded that he made his reference to Iran's push toward acquiring a nuclear program and not to military action."
