De Bush Bende 64

Het is opmerkelijk hoe het draaiboek voor een aanval op Iran in niets verschilt van dat met Irak. We weten nu inmiddels hoeveel leugens gebruikt zijn door democratische politici, inclusief Balkenende, om Irak te kunnen aanvallen, massavernietigingswapens, terrorisme van wege samenwerking Saddam-Osama, verspreiden van de democratie. Nu de Amerikaanse geheime diensten hebben laten weten dat Iran niet aan een nucleair wapen werkt, gooit de Bush bende het over een andere boeg: het steunen van 'terrorisme'. Ze willen een oorlog en ze zullen er alles aan doen om een oorlog mogelijk te maken. Maar ik vrees voor de Bush extremisten dat ze onvoldoende tijd hebben. But who knows!

'Iran Aims ''To Foment Instability,'' Gates Says
Nuclear Program Could Be Restarted, Defense Chief Warns

MANAMA, Bahrain, Dec. 8 -- Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates argued forcefully at a Persian Gulf security conference Saturday that U.S. intelligence indicates Iran could restart its secret nuclear weapons program "at any time" and remains a major threat to the region.
Tough and at times sarcastic, Gates said the Iranian government also is supplying weapons to insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan, backing the radical Islamic movements Hezbollah and Hamas, and developing medium-range ballistic missiles.
"Everywhere you turn, it is the policy of Iran to foment instability and chaos, no matter the strategic value or cost in the blood of innocents," Gates said in a speech to defense leaders from 23 countries attending the Manama Dialogue, a security conference organized by the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies.
Gates acknowledged that the recent release of a U.S. National Intelligence Estimate on Iran, which determined that the country halted its secret nuclear weapons program in 2003, was awkward and frustrating for the Bush administration. He explained that the CIA director decides on the content and release, without influence from Congress or the executive branch.
"The estimate clearly has come at an awkward time. It has annoyed a number of our friends. It has confused our allies around the world in terms of what we're trying to accomplish," he said.
