Subject: RE: BS: WMDs, Iran and Bush
Amos,
"It takes an elephantiastic sort of brazen effrontery to assert that he was right because the program was discontinued 4 years ago, because that proves it once existed, and therefgore the risk is just as vivid and scary as he said it was"
And who besides those OPPOSED to Bush are stating that Bush was right BECAUSE the program was discontinued?
Bush stated a conditional- IF Iran had a nuclear device THAT would be a scary thing. Will you state that it would not be scary??????
Any claim that this is an example of Bush lying is both false to the facts, and a deliberate attempt to tell a falese statement- and THAT qualifies as a lie to me.
The report does not give anyone with any ability to read what was stated by the IAEA any confidence that the Iranians are NOT presently, or will not in the near future ( when they havbe sufficient fissionable materials) restarting that WMD program.
