Bush declines to exclude nuclear strike on Iran
http://feeds.bignewsnetwork.com/redir.php?jid=2c1d3322e4fb1e63&cat=c08dd24cec417021


TEHRAN (Reuters) - President Bush refused on Tuesday to rule out nuclear strikes against Iran if diplomacy fails to curb the Islamic Republic's atomic ambitions.

Iran, which says its nuclear program is purely peaceful, told world powers it would pursue atomic technology, whatever they decided at a meeting held in Moscow on Tuesday.

That meeting ended without any substantial results, a source close to the negotiations told Interfax late on Tuesday.


Iran's defiance of world pressure to halt the program drove oil prices to a record high of $72.64 a barrel, raising fears of a cut in supplies from the world's fourth biggest crude exporter.

Bush said in Washington he would discuss Iran's nuclear activities with China's President Hu Jintao this week and avoided ruling out nuclear retaliation if diplomatic efforts fail.

military or citizens' coup to restore the Constitution.

3. Think Clevon Little in Blazing Saddles.
It's a strategery where everyone has to do what he wants because HE'S CRAZY. Oh, and evil. Don't anyone think that he won't destroy his own country if Iran won't kowtow.

5. according to Bush's doctrine of pre-emption:
Iran now has the right to defend itself BEFORE our threats fully materialize, and thus can nuke us anytime now and it will be ok


see how that doctrine works, Herr Bush?

6. * has a freaking God complex
He feels the end times are near so why should he care.

I'm getting sick and tired of apocolyptic Christians like Bush. They're nothing but a Jonestown type death cult who will bring the rest of us down with them.
