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.

When asked if the use of force was an alternative to faltering diplomatic efforts, Bush said: "All options are on the table."
"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.

"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.

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 program.

1. This guy is a fool.

There is no way this could be justified or that we have the military and the resouces to do this. The deficit is out of control. Does this guy even understand that the cost of war is tremendous even if these wars were justified? And let us not forget the cost in human lives. But of course this is the least of his worries. Fucker! I detest this man and his cronies.

5. You said it he is a "fool" and totally clueless. I have always felt

he is a tool for the VP & his neo-cons. I don't buy it but I guess a lot of people did, maybe not so much now, that he is a great guy to have a beer with, down to earth, just a swell likable truthful guy who has found religion.

I really don't think that is selling as well anymore.

7. He's definitely an arrogant ass

and has been since his childhood. The "born again" crap is a political rewrite of history.
