A former top State Department official is warning the Bush administration has drawn up plans for a broad attack against Iran. The official, Wayne White, said, “I’ve seen some of the planning … You’re not talking about a surgical strike.” Up until 2005, White was a top Middle East analyst for the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research. White predicted a war against Iran would likely destabilize the Middle East for years. On Sunday, former Pentagon adviser Richard Perle said President Bush will order an attack on Iran if it becomes clear to him that Iran is set to acquire nuclear weapons capabilities. Perle’s comments came during a conference in Israel.
