U.S. intelligence: Iran years away from nukes..Does * know this?
Edited on Thu Apr-13-06 02:13 PM by spanone
...or does he care? Now I assume he can't blame it on bad intel?????

~snip~ WASHINGTON (AP) -- Iran remains years away from obtaining the materials and technology necessary for a nuclear weapon, despite its announcement this week that it has begun enriching uranium, several top U.S. intelligence officials said Thursday. ~snip~

1. Doesn't care.
Truth and facts are impediments to furthering his agenda.

4. It's on the front page of the NYT as well
And I've heard this repeatedly since he started pointing his finger at Iran. Is he still not debating himself...cuz this would be the time for a little outside the echo chamber thinkin'.

9. He doesn't care. He's a legend in his own mind...
"A government consultant with close ties to the civilian leadership in the Pentagon said that Bush was “absolutely convinced that Iran is going to get the bomb” if it is not stopped. He said that the President believes that he must do “what no Democrat or Republican, if elected in the future, would have the courage to do,” and “that saving Iran is going to be his legacy.”

W really believes he's some sort of hero if he does this bombing plan...
