NY Times shows Evidence that Bush lied on Iran

The New York Times reported today that "American intelligence agencies reversed their view about the status of Iran’s nuclear weapons program after they obtained notes last summer from the deliberations of Iranian military officials involved in the weapons development program." These notes showed conversations in which "military officials complained bitterly about what they termed a decision by their superiors in late 2003 to shut down a complex engineering effort to design nuclear weapons."

The White House now is retreating quickly from Bush's earlier lies:

In a statement late Wednesday, the White House revised its account of what Mr. Bush was told in August and acknowledged that Mike McConnell, the director of national intelligence, had informed him new information might show that "Iran does in fact have a covert weapons program, but it may be suspended."

"Bush has made a big mistake, and he’s not responding in a way that gives confidence that he’s on top of this," said David Albright, a former weapons inspector for the International Atomic Energy Agency and president of the Institute for Science and International Security. "He isn’t able to respond because he’s not able to say he’s wrong."

So Bush knew in August 2007, if not before. We know that now. They lied and did it deliberaely. They were trying Iraq War II, the sequel in Iran.
