The news network's Pentagon reporter reasons that "Iran already has a missile that could reach the U.S"
BY GLENN GREENWALD
Late last week, CNN?s The Situation Room, starring Wolf Blitzer, reported on what Blitzer described as ?an ominous new warning coming in from the Pentagon: Iran?s missiles are getting more accurate, apparently getting more deadly as well.? He then called on CNN?s Pentagon correspondent, Chris Lawrence (?What are you learning, Chris??), and a truly brilliant line was unveiled:
CHRIS LAWRENCE, CNN PENTAGON CORRESPONDENT: Well, Wolf, Iran?s missiles are getting more accurate, but they may not have to be because they are also getting more deadly. By that I mean they?re developing a new payload system that spreads out the destruction over a wider area than a solid warhead. . . .I?d like to repeat that: ?Iran already has a missile that could reach the U.S.?!!!! (?if it could it put on a ship and move it to within 600 miles of the American coastline?). As As?ad AbuKhalil observed about these frightening Iranian missiles:??They can also reach the moon if they can put it on a rocket and get closer to the moon.? Indeed, I?m excited to announce that I?m writing today from within walking distance to the peak of Mount Everest! (if someone transports me and my laptop by jet and then helicopter to within 500 yards or so of the top of that mountain).The Pentagon report says Iran is developing short-range missiles that can identify ships at sea and maneuver towards them in mid-flight. And Iran already has a missile that could reach the U.S. if it could put it on a ship and move it to within 600 miles of the American coastline.
