Iran: Zero Margin for Error - December 5, 2007 - The New York Sun
August 8th , 2001: Presidential Daily Briefing entitled "Osama Bin Laden intent to strike within the United States"
August 2003: Bush is told by Stephen Hadley, member of National Security Council, that we have new intelligence regarding Iran NUCLEAR program. Bush response (according to his statement yesterday) was nothing; the President had no response at all!
Today DINO (Democrat in name only) New York Assemblyman Rory Lancman becomes a Bush apologist, writing this article for the New York Sun that puts forth the article that because we have been erratic with our military and threaten Iran with everything from an airstrike to preemptive invasion to a first-use of bunker busting nuclear weapons against Iran. This revelation that Iranian madman Mahmoud Ahmadinejad can scared into not developing nuclear weapons by allowing our president act like a crackhead... oh wait Ahmadinejad wasn't president when we found out that the Iranian Nuclear program was halted. Moderate Mohammad Khatami was the one that halted the nuclear program so the argument that the U.S.'s saber rattling had a positive result with our dealings with Iran is entirely specious. In August 2003 the White House made no mention of Iranian influence in Iraq, made head fake towards military action towards Iran, made no threat that Iran could have reacted to to halt their nuclear program.
I would like you, dear reader, to think back of the time that our government learned that Iran halted their nuclear program. Bush administration had still been claiming there was WMDs in Iraq despite occupying the country for five months. White House spokesman Ari Fleisher was stating from behind the podium their isn't that much looting "its the same vase being carried out, just shown over and over." Vice President Dick Cheney claiming that just dead-enders are fighting American troops. Viceroy Paul Bremer was embarking on the de-baathification of Iraq.
Amidst all this, OUR nation's intelligence service confirmed that the Iranian nuclear program was halted.
According to Bush's statement yesterday he discovered this fact that last Wednesday! Will this revelation change the minds of pro-war hawks and DINOs like Sen. Joe Lieberman and NY Assemblyman Rory Lancman? Nope, actually it appears to strengthen their resolve to send even more of other's sons and daughters to harms way. Who cares if China gets another Trillion dollars of our debt, crazy war-hawks want to invade and occupy another country. Who cares that our addiction to petroleum is leading to our nation's destruction, lets build and use nuclear weapons against a nation that doesn't have nuclear weapons. Who cares that we are building a perpetual permanent war-time economy without the benefit of national full employment, lets ignore the warning of the last 5 star general in Eisenhower's "Military Industrial Complex" speech.
It is highly possibly that we have a change party in the White House and yet not have a change in bellicosity towards the rest of the world. The truth is that no matter whom resides in the White House we have always been at war with Eastasia or Eurasia. There may be a point the future that we can not even imagine a world without Big Brother (or Sister) calling the dance; telling us this week we have always owned and occupied and have historical rights to natural resources of Iraq or Iran or Valenzuela or Nigeria. It matters that OUR government withholds the truth from us. We can entrust the neo-cons (of both parties) to seek the truth, they are like street prostitutes who are beaten by their pimps and say 'but really loves me.'
