Fear-mongering Bush warns of Iranian ‘nuclear holocaust.’

In his speech about Iraq to the American Legion today, President Bush warned that allowing Iran to pursue “technology that could lead to nuclear weapons threatens to put a region already known for instability and violence under the shadow of a nuclear holocaust.” Watch it:

[flv http://video.thinkprogress.org/2007/08/NuclearHolocaust.320.240.flv]

As Steve Benen points out, Bush’s hyperbolic rhetoric about a “nuclear holocaust” in the Middle East is reminiscent of his pre-war claims that “we couldn’t wait for actual proof to justify an invasion, because the ’smoking gun could be a mushroom cloud.’”

    So he's going to attack Israel?


  4. TC Says:

    Oh Christ, the most recent NIE said they would not be nuke ready until between 2010 and 2015. And for chrissakes, this is gonna be a self-fulfilling prophecy, as hard as Bush pushes this shit. They wouldn't even have an extremist like Ahmadinejad had Bush not given his Axis of Evil speech. What kind of a dipshit is this man. Uggh.


  5. Chris L Says:

    Why is Iran having nuclear weaponry any different than Pakistan, Israel, or Saudi having nuclear weaponry? For that matter, how is it different from the US having it? When was the last time Iran attacked someone? The problem is that it is a strategic weapon, not a tactical one. The first time you try to use it, all of the other countries that already have it (and we have the most) will pound you into the stone age.

These are acts of war. The US should show Iran this evidence and give them two options:
    1. Immidiately cease all activities in Iraq, stop the flow of weapons to Iraq, and hand over nuclear program to international control.
    or
    2. Prepare to get bombed.

    Bush was insane about Saddam and Iraq: it was all lies.
    Now Bush is insane about Iran; probably just more lies and paranoia.

    Of course, there is the small manner of the US CIA and the Brits overthrowing the Iranian democracy back in 1953 and installing the dictator Shah, who tortured and murdered thousands of his fellow countrymen...

    Yes, I have a problem with you making spurious claims with not even an attempt at substantiation.

    Before the U.S. shows Iran this "evidence", it would be nice if we could see it first. If it's anything like the "evidence" of WMDs in Iraq, I'd rather hold off before we start yet another unwinnable war.

    The three staunch allies 'England,Spain and Italy' prime ministers who supported the war in Iraq are gone.

    Spain : Prime Minister Jose Alfredo Aznar lost the re-election bid in 2004,a year after the Iraq war began,after 8 years in office.
    Spain decided to withdraw troops from Iraq,as a result of his defeat. and they did.

    Italy: Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi lost his re-election in 2006,because of the war in Iraq,after 6 years in office

    England: Prime Minister Tony Blair left this year because his party wanted him out, it was because of the Iraq war,after serving over 10 years as prime minister.
    England is withdrawing their final units from Southern Iraq in the coming weeks if not days.

Yes, that should help us avert the disasters I warn everyone about!"

    NO you wouldn't! because that wouldn't get both parties behind you, and would likely bring about the disaster. Therefore this president is:
    - an ignormaus, or
    - using everyone for his own gain

    People cannot think in this country. How can anyone be so naive as to think they aren't being used by this jackal? Put the stupid f*cker in jail already.

    Actually ex-presidents have traditionally stepped into the background and let the winner of future elections enact their policy without ex-pres carping. Carter has been the clearest and most embarrassing example of a president not following this tradition.

    Public opinion moves votes. Public Testimony, UNDER OATH moves public opinion. Your argument about nt having the votes prior to the investigation is an AIPAC-SPONSORED RED HERRING.

    No shit, Sherlock!

    Begin the process NOW and see where DISCOVERY and TESTIMONY leads.

    It is your Constitutional Obligation, and the Voters gave you a MANDATE to INVESTIGATE, and cleanse the system of corruption and politicization of FEDERAL OFFICES.

    Karl Rove was a POLITICAL OPERATIVE officed in the PEOPLE's HOUSE.

    http://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/60797/

    A prominent Republican who chairs I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby's legal defense fund in the CIA leak affair co-hosted a fundraiser Wednesday for Sen. Joe Lieberman, who is running for re-election as an independent after losing the Democratic party primary.

    Mel Sembler, a former Republican National Committee finance chairman, helped organize a reception that raised about a "couple hundred thousand dollars" for Lieberman, who was in attendance.
    http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2006/09/21/america/NA_POL_US_Connecticut_Senate.php

    So Israeli agent Chertoff is protected by Israeli agent Lieberman who was backed by Israeli agent Sembler - the former Ambassador of Italy during the time frame of the Niger Forgery being planted in Rome -

    Ahmadinijad was installed by the Iranian people in a democratic election because he ran on an anti-corruption platform. See, those "moderates" we like to talk about belong to the business elite, and they're big into crony capitalism. Ahmadinijad tapped into popular disgust with the insider cronyism and got elected by a plurality.

    And for all his bluster, for all his dangerous statements, for all the less dangerous statements deliberately mistranslated to make them look dangerous, he means nothing. Because the President of Iran is effectively the interior minister. He has little power over the military and isn't even commander-in-chief. That falls to the Supreme Jurisprudent. Ahmadinijad couldn't launch a nuke at anyone were that his sincerest wish and he had whole bunkers of them. But he's a convenient patsy for the warmongers here and in Tel Aviv, because he's a fiery pseudo-populist with a penchant for saying inflammatory things, and saying things that can be twisted to look even worse.

    You Leftists support the Iranian regime.
    If they get a Nuke they will nuke Israel
    Given that today's American Left is allied with Neo-Nazis like ace I'm sure you'd enjoy seeing 8 Million Israelis insinerated.
    Even if Israel hit Iran back, Iran wins!
    The ideology the the Iranian regime has is called 12therism.
    They belive that if they cause a massive war, the Mahdi (12th Iman) will return and created an Islamic one world government.
    Al-Qaeda also has a variant of this belief.

    That's why Iran will nuke Israel.
    They can't win conventionally so they're willing to lose 1/2 of their population to exterminate Israel.

    Stop this nonsense where it starts.

    It starts with AIPAC, Jack Grynberg, et al. Jack heads up AIPAC, believes christians are his toolies, and that America is the solution to the Arab-Israeli crisis. Unfortunatly for Jack, Saudi Arabia is hardly the worst enemy facing Israel, and throwing hundreds of millions of dollars at the problem won't solve it.

    AIPAC is the largest political organization supporting Israel. Ask Joe Lieberman. The interests of AIPAC are not those of American citizens. . . . and yet AIPAC continues to control American policy in the middle east. AIPCA supports policies that demean middle eastern citizens, whether they are Lebanese, Palestinian or Scott.

    Why pick out Jack Grynberg? Because he's the leader of the Isreali cause. Because he gives more money than anyone else. Because he's the anonymous backer of policies that lead America to stray into wars and unrest where American politicians fear to tread (without anonymity).

    Where an American is spending millions of dollars without any recognition to instill hatred, Americans need to know.

    Journalists should follow the money. Follow the Jack Grynberg trail.

Fear being put on Americans, for lack of privacy getting phones tapped. Where is our freedom for what we want as Americans? We are the people. We lost our rights to determine who comes into our country too. God wanted peace on this earth, this planet we all reside upon. Our environment needs immediate attention. Something so precious like water is in despair. People scattered out from Katrina due to lack of planning and care are still being ignored when this country has resources to get them out of the hell they have been put through. Have we become a third world country?

  246. Amir Says:

    I'm Iranian and I think the best evidence showing that Iran is making nuclear bomb is this one:

    Iran's nuclear program for so called "peacefull purposes" has started 22 years ago, and the government has reported nothing to IAEA duing the first 18 years.

    Here is the question: Why won't they tell the truth if they wanted to make nuclear energy for and only for "peaceful purposes" ?
