Who's the REAL threat?

Once more demonstrating his disregard of facts, "W" has stated that 'nothing has changed,' following the National Intelligence Estimate report which stated that Iran ceased its nuclear weapons program four years ago. This assessment is, of course, in direct contradiction to the propaganda that Bush has been spewing for so long now. But following his tried and true method of ignoring reality, he said the following: "I think the NIE makes it clear that Iran needs to be taken seriously as a threat to peace."

The biggest threat to peace that the world faces today seems to be Mr. Bush himself:

The NIE report indicates that Iran is at least ten years from having a nuclear bomb, assuming that they decide soon to obtain one. That gives Mr. Bush and his successors ten years in which to normalize relations with Iran and work jointly to prevent escalating tensions. But this is not Mr. Bush's style; there is no need for negotiations and diplomacy when sufficient numbers of young Americans to fight his wars can be persuaded that their only way out of a life of poverty is a stint in the U.S. military.

That they come home in coffins, or physically and/or emotionally scarred is of no concern to Mr. Bush; his own twisted agenda, his macho self-image as a 'war president' and the enrichment of his oil-loving cronies seems to be what drives him.

Facts about Iran will not get in his way.
