President Bush argued in October, 2007, that a nuclear-armed Iran could lead to “World War III.” Vice President Dick Cheney warned of “serious consequences” if Tehran did not stop trying to build nukes. THIS TIME we’re right they said. THIS TIME we can be trusted.
For that remnant of our most stupid citizens who still feel there is truth somewhere to be found in the George Bush administration or the Republican Party, today must be a very disappointing day indeed.
For those who need reminding (and to be honest, I did) the push for upping American military pressure on Iran because it was supposedly trying to produce nukes came AFTER 2003. You can read about the report here.
