President Bush said Tuesday that he just learned last week of a newly disclosed intelligence report showing Iran halted its nuclear weapons program hasn't changed, and he reiterated that the new intelligence would not change his approach to the regime.

Iran was dangerous, Iran is dangerous, and Iran will be dangerous if they have the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon. ... My opinion hasn't changed," Bush said.

The president was reacting to Monday's disclosure of a National Intelligence Estimate that showed Iran stopped trying to develop a nuclear weapon in 2003, although the administration estimate maintained that Iran still aims to re-start a covert nuclear weapons program.

"I still feel strongly that Iran's a danger," Bush said. "Nothing's changed in this NIE that we say, 'Well, let's stop worrying about it.'"

Bush said Iran could resume a covert nuclear program, and he warned that Iranian leaders could pass along knowledge on building a nuclear weapon to terrorist groups.

"Most of the world understands that Iran with a nuclear weapon could be a serious danger to peace," Bush said.

The United States needs to act immediately, he said, to dissuade Iran from pursuing a nuclear weapon.

"Our policy remains the same," Bush said. "I see a danger, and much of the world sees the same danger."

Iran was dangerous, Iran is dangerous, and n will be dangerous if they have the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon. My opinion hasn't changed," Bush said.

Bush has now said several times that Iran's knowledge of how to make a nuclear weapon would in itself constitute a casus belli. He said so also in his notorious recent statement about World War III.

Just how do you stop a country from having knowledge? Once it has it, how do you deprive it of that knowledge? How many countries in the world now have knowledge of how to make a nuclear weapon? When has another country's knowledge of something ever been considered adequate reason for war?

To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.

By the way, who believes this?

Would any bureaucrat have allowed Bush to make that statement about World War Three without warning him that the intelligence does not back him up?

I cannot imagine any other leader now or in history saying anything so asinine and ridiculous.

It seems the Intel community wants the record straight. I'm guessing the recent admission was not done with the admin's blessing.

Iraq told the UN the truth in Dec. 2002 about not having WMD's, and Iran told the truth in the fall of 2003 announcing the suspension of its nuclear weapons program.

Iran will be dangerous if they have the knowledge ... Iranian leaders could pass along knowledge

What we need apparently is a black op to lobotomize all 70 million Iranians in order to render them as incapable of thought as Dear Leader.

Shrub was never the sort to let facts reported by intelligence agencies get in the way of his agenda and one track mind.

"Our policy remains the same," Bush said. "I see a danger, and much of the world sees the same danger."

Er, that should read "Our Israel First policy remains the same,"

"I and Olmert see a danger, and much of the world sees through our fearmongering and saber rattling to understand that WE are the danger."

MSM must've misquoted. That's a more realistic situation analysis.

Hey, wasn't most of the intelligence claiming that Iran had nukes coming directly from Mossad for the past four years? Isn't any journalist going to cover that angle? /sarc
