Is Bush ok?
« on: December 05, 2007, 02:24:36 PM »
The CIA and 15 other spy agencies of the US concluded that 4 years ago; Iran stopped their Nuclear Weapons program.

Bush apparently refused to accept that fact of four years ago and instead continues projecting a WWIII with Iran to this day.

With no WMD ever found in Iraq and now this... Bush is busted for good, it seems.

What is going on here? :confused:

"The conclusions of the new assessment are likely to reshape the final year of the Bush administration, which has made halting Iran’s nuclear program a cornerstone of its foreign policy."

And this is a surprise coming from a President who listens to what people are telling him with his ears plugged and screaming "LALALALALALALALA!" before going and doing whatever he wants?

If we could ever see into Dubya's thought process I'd imagine it must look something like the Pinky-Vision episode of Pinky and the Brain.

"A new assessment by American intelligence agencies concludes "

it says "A new assessment "

the new assessmant may be right or wrong.

Do we need to clean house at the CIA? Are there too many career bureaucrats working there? Valerie Plame was a career bureaucrat at the CIA.

I don't know about the CIA, but they sure as hell have too many career bureaucrats on Capitol Hill.

at least this one has a much better chance of being correct since the Bush & Co. neo-cons didn't keep editing it and sending it back till it read how they wanted it to read instead of the intelligence communities un-biased (we hope) work.

"A new assessment by American intelligence agencies concludes that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003 and that the program remains frozen, contradicting judgment two years ago that Tehran was working relentlessly toward building a nuclear bomb. " from --> http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/03/world/middleeast/03cnd-iran.html?_r=2&hp&oref=slogin&oref=slogin

It just doesn't seem clear what is going on here with all the spinning going on by the left and right...

The same agency that stated Iran ceased it's effort to build nuclear weapons 4 years ago, stated 2 years ago that they were in full production.  These "experts" are morons.

And you wonder why Bush stated what he did?  Iran has lied, repeatedly, time and time again.  

Today, members of the UN are rethinking that report, as it might be more politically motivated than based on facts.

Hillary 2006
Hillary Clinton chastising Bush for not being aggressive enough against Iran.

Thu Jan 19, 2006

Sen. Hillary Clinton called for United Nations sanctions against Iran and faulted the Bush administration for “downplaying” the threat Tehran’s nuclear program poses.

Now  she is on the bandwagon berating the President for his over reacting to the situation.  Hmm, lalala works when you are competing with idiots on the left.  You wonder why he just moves forward with what he wants to do?  It doesn't matter what he does, his opponents say the opposite and they are credited with brilliance while their outright contradictions go unanswered.

Bush toes the line, follows his course and beliefs, you cannot accuse this man of ever waffling or riding a fence.

One of the few who I can say have that quality of character.

Nothing clever here.  Please, move along.

Bush ok? Ehhhh, don't think so. I rather liked the older Bush :D

Anyway, that Iranian Prez is a nut IMHO, and I put my bucks on him wanting the nuke. However, he's not quite daft, and has swift control. For him, through his "energy project" crusade to supply energy to Iran through nuclear power (lol, they're an OIL EXPORT COUNTRY, so they already export energy), he can allow himself the sporting game of playing teasergame to Bush. That guy has a lot of U.S. employees basically, - at his will.

All stupid anyway....

And there you have it in a nutshell.

The Iranian prez, Libyan prez, and Venezuelan prez make the Three Stooges look like Mount Rushmore candidates.  

As TR advised, when dealing with any of them, better keep a big club handy.
