Re: Iran has no WMD's

The scary thing is that although almost every rational person would think that this means that there's no way that Bush would dare bomb Iran, I don't think we're out of the woods just yet. I don't think we've yet seen Bush's stupidity in all its splendor.

Trust me, picking that did not require a crystal ball. The guy is a war-mongering moron -- if there's a way he can spin something into an opportunity to bomb another country, he's going to do it.

The mindblowing thing, though, is that there are unfortunately plenty of people sitting at home stroking their replica cruise missiles saying, "Yeah, this DOES prove that Iran is a bigger threat than we thought before this story came out. LET'S BOMB 'EM!!!"

People hate Bush for believing intelligence before. Now they'll just hate him for not believing it now.

No, people hate Bush for ignoring and/or fixing intelligence before -- and for a host of other reasons that don't bear mention right now. Only the most ardent of Bush apologists still believe that Bush was hoodwinked with the rest of us.

Re: Iran has no WMD's

Check this out from National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley:

"On balance, the estimate is good news," Hadley said. "On one hand it confirms that we were right to be worried about Iran seeking to develop nuclear weapons. On the other hand, it tells us that we have made some progress in trying to insure that that does not happen. But it also tells us that the risk of Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon remains a very serious problem."

How do you reach the conclusion that "we were right to be worried about Iran seeking to develop nuclear weapons" from a report that says that it hasn't been seeking nuclear weapons for 4 years? Keep in mind, also, that Bush evidently had this NIE as early as 1 year ago -- so all of these statements from Bush about Iran actively working towards the development of a nuclear weapon were demonstrably false when made per our own intelligence.

Can someone please impeach this clown? He is a dangerous, dangerous, dude to have at the helm, even for just another 14 months.

Re: Iran has no WMD's

^yep. agreed.

in my own head tho- i do think iran wants nukes even if they're not working on building them at the moment.

i don't trust ahmadinejad at all.

Yeah, but that puts Iran in pretty much the same category as dozens of other countries. Doesn't explain the ramped up rhetoric against Iran specifically, and the accusations only makes us lose even more credibility when shown to be at odds with our own intelligence. We need to keep tabs on these countries that want to develop nuclear weapons, not publicly call them out based upon smoke and mirrors.
