Bush Won't Let Facts Stand in the Way of Regime Change in Iran


Former UN chief weapons inspector Scott Ritter warns that another war is inevitable, unless we defy Bush's attempts to spin the facts about Iran.

And today we're talking about the latest report from the National Intelligence Estimate. The report says that Iran is not, as of mid-July, in the nuclear weapons business.

this means nothing to the White House

Scott Ritter:

take a look at the Bush administration

I think it's important to assess patterns of behavior.

its policies of regional transformation in the Middle East

these policies include the notion of regime change

regimes that the United States unilaterally declares incompatible with its vision

They have demonstrated a tendency to exaggerate threats in the form of weapons of mass destruction to exploit the ignorance of the American public

They did so with Iraq.

Why should we be cautious about what President Bush is telling us right now?

"Where's the beef, Mr. President? ... "

Hmm.
