Bush hints at use of force against Iran

[ECH1969]

US President George W. Bush refused to rule out the use of force against Iran over the Islamic Republic’s resumption of nuclear activities, in an interview with Israeli television aired on Friday.

“The use of force is the last option for any president. You know we have used force in the recent past to secure our country,” he said in a clear reference to Iraq, which the United States invaded in March 2003.

“I have been willing to do so as a last resort in order to secure the country and provide the opportunity for people to live in free societies,” he added.

Mr Bush was speaking from his ranch in Crawford, Texas to a reporter from Israeli public television. The Jewish state has accused Iran of seeking to acquire nuclear weapons and believes it is the prime target of the alleged arms programme.

5. F**K that asshole. Don't you all remember this was the same

thing he said before he made the decision to enter Iraq? Of course you do. We can only hope and pray that it rings a bell for the morans as well. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice... Ah, hell. If GWB can't remember the commonest of expressions then how can we hope the bushbots will remember anything about recent history?

I am officially depressed.

12. Ask them "WHEN did Saddam threaten the US?"

A question posed by an Al Jazeera journalist in "Control Room".

In this case, "it follows": WHEN did Iran threaten the US? (Except with retaliation in case of invasion). Watch their heads spin around like Linda Blairs.

13. I've asked that question. Apparently it's not an issue... we are

spreading freedom and that can only be a good thing. Remember, these people lack the wiring which would enable them to think critically.

14. Yep,

Does "freedom" and "democracy" mean "no one left alive"? Looks that way.

15. Hints?! He's taken out a billboard in Times Square at this point.

He's just incrementally getting the American public ready for the introduction of his next war product.

16. Bush announces troop reductions in Iraq...

... and declares they'll be taking the overland route, through Iran, Syria... I believe Jon Stewart said it was going to be called "Operation 'While You're Over There'"...
