Bush: Remember When I Said Iraq Was A Nuclear Threat?

He was only off by one letter.

“And Iran’s active pursuit of technology that could lead to nuclear weapons threatens to put a region already known for instability and violence under the shadow of a nuclear holocaust.

Iran’s actions threaten the security of nations everywhere. And that is why the United States is rallying friends and allies around the world to isolate the regime, to impose economic sanctions. We will confront this danger before it is too late.”

Here we fricking go again.

    Would anyone suggest a U.N. Inspectors team to go in before we commit to another 100,000 dead Iraqis, sorry Iranians, and 4.000 dead Americans and one trillion dollars?

    Could anyone of note figure that shit out?

    Mike…you’ll recall, we sent an inspector team in the last time, too. I’m sure that within a month Bush would be saying “Ahmedinajad is hiding stuff from the inspectors! WAR!”

    This man is simply insane. He and his whole crew need to be immediately thrown out.

    A vote of “no confidence” needs to be taken now and get these maniacs put out.

    So, we’re going to kill thousands of people(civilian and military), enrage Muslims further, make things much worse for ourselves in Iraq, create an opportunity for Iran to brutally repress their minorities and political dissidents, spike the price of oil(likely triggering the pending recession a few months early), and possibly even drop a nuke or two(thus ensuring that I and my family in DC and NY will die a decade or two from now, in the fires of a retaliatory jihadist nuke).

    Wow. The guy’s in the running to become the worst democratically-elected leader in Western History, not just our Worst President Ever.

    Is there anyone that would honestly trust the Bush administration to COMPETENTLY handle any crisis of any kind anywhere?

    Also,
    Is there anyone who would trusts President Bush to make an HONEST assessment of Iran being an imminent crisis.

    mike in dc,

    I could have SWORN that Democratics held the belief that Bush wasn’t democratically elected and that his rise to power was nothing short of a coup. When did the talking points change? Thanks in advance…

    I’m still skeptical that they are actually going to push for war. It’s not that I’m not aware that the Bushies haven’t met a bad idea they didn’t like; I am. But more practically, with the US occupying Iraq, how in the name of hell can BushCo attack Iran, a country that isn’t a pushover? There’d be airstrikes, and pathetic followup, and then a battlefield embarassment.

    Good point, Farris.

    Make that “Worst leader of any kind, anywhere, ever all of recorded history.”

    Nero fiddled while Rome burned.

    Bush is pissing gasoline on the fire.

    Afghanistan was Vienna. Iraq was Czechoslovakia. Iran will be Poland.

    Haha. Pwned!

    And good luck getting SF to actually address the issue. Right-wingers simply don’t care.

    I honestly have a hard time believing that the American public-at-large will fall for this AGAIN. The first time, maybe, but not again. Please not again.

    Sorry Magamoze…the public (and their “opinions”) are largely irrelevant as far as the cabal is concerned.

  15. Gravatar Icon 15 mike in dc

    Well, he wouldn’t be the first leader in a democracy elected under questionable circumstances, so that hardly seemed relevant to the point, SF. What’s more relevant is the wisdom of starting a 3rd war/opening a third front of dubious necessity, when we are nowhere near resolving the two wars we’re already involved in. I guarantee a recession and a spectacular implosion for the GOP next November if he actually goes through with this.

    Actually, Oliver, he never said that. He said Iraq was a “nuculer” threat. See, plausible deniability.

    Sadly, as weak as Bush appears, there is no stopping this impending attack.

    Congress will cower, the bullies will continue to shout us down with the old standards:

    “They want to wipe Israel off the map”

    “The islamofascists are loking to bring about end times”

    “We can’t take the chance with a nuclear armed Iran”

    “They gassed the Iraqis during the 8 year war”

    “They send their children as first wavers in conflicts”

    “They are killing our troops in Iraq”

    “The youth of the country wanted us to do it”

    “They support Hezbollah”

    “They had a chance to change their evil ways but refused”

    “Democracy is on the march”

    Sorry if I missed any. You’ll hear them soon if I did.

    “They want to wipe Israel off the map”

    Then buy a new fucking map. One without Israel. There, problem solved and no one gets hurt.

    “They are killing our troops in Iraq”

    So are the Saudi-backed Sunnis. Whaddyagonnado?

    “They support Hezbollah”
    So do they Saudi-backed, oh, you get it.

    “Democracy is on the march”
    With jackboots and goosesteps, baby.

    “The islamofascists are loking to bring about end times”

    The “Islamofascists”©[sic] don’t believe in End Times. You do. why do you want to advance the end of the world? You not only hate the troops and America, but the whole of creation as well.
