| 0:00.0 | This is CBSI in the world. I'm John Bachelor with Professor Richard Epstein of the Civitas Institute. |
| 0:11.0 | The information from Iran and the Middle East is fog of war. The New York Times, however, |
| 0:18.3 | does us the favor of summarizing what has been achieved so far. The attack on |
| 0:24.4 | Partion, one of the suspect nuclear weapons program sites, is said to have destroyed the facility. |
| 0:31.2 | This is a military facility. Southeast, I believe, of Tehran, outside of the big city. At the same time, the New York |

| 1:41.8 | Remember the I told him something of a dictator. |
| 1:46.0 | He's a massively intolerant man. |
| 1:51.0 | And there are large numbers of West Time Taipipu in Iran who would love to see him out. |
| 1:52.7 | And I think they're all working with Israel. |
| 1:56.6 | And so my view about this is that this is not just an air attack. |
| 1:57.9 | It's also a land attack. |
| 2:02.9 | Somebody inside Iran has very strong intelligence and is supplying it to the Israelis so they can do precision bombing. And one of the things, of course, that you need in this |
