Interesting, how georgejr considers facts to be simply a matter of opinion. And, only his opinion matters. Funny, he expects the conclusions to coincide with what he wants(?) – Why wouldn’t he be glad that Iran has stopped its nuclear program? One less thing to worry about – unless you want perpetual war, of couse.

I really don’t like anything about George W. Bush. Don’t wish him dead; but rapture? Please, God…….

Is anyone really surprised that Bush would distance himself from intelligence?

“should not be for me to have to defend our NIE.”

But he certainly defended, tooth and nail, the NIE he claimed supported his calls to attack Iraq.

It really looked like it was his job back then…

Defense Secretary Robert Gates refuses to call Iran ‘a threat’. Better whip him into line Chimpy.

“The NIE report is wrong because God told me so.”

Uh, George, are you sure it’s God you’ve been talking to?

Why are we so quick to believe intel all of a sudden without thinking logically. It’s obvious from Ahmadinejad’s statements that he would like to obliterate the nation of Israel. How else does he plan to do this but by developing a nuclear weapon?

I will say it over and over again…..

Lazy foolish Americans. Theyâ€™ve forgotten that this country was founded by revolution. If you donâ€™t see a resemblance of King George to King George you ainâ€™t been paying a damn bit of attention.

Without millions in the streets putting aside their shopping mania we can all agree that the REAL ID act, and more war and more spending without restraint, and more carbon emissions without rationing and controls, etc etc etc will be in our future.

Stop pretending this is going to get better by the media choice of your presidential candidate. They chose the candidate not you. Stop kidding yourself. This is WAY more serious than the majority of this country has the cognitive ability to understand.

Itâ€™s time for the people to rise up and take back this country. Not violently but in numbers. If this country is not willing to stand up and out for what they believe in risking it all then this country has no future.

Well, you put yourself in that position, Numbnuts, by calling the conclusions of the report into question.

Notice how condescending Bush was to the intelligence services. Note how he is sure the little, stupid children were “sincere” in what they developed in the NIE. The backhanded slap of it not being his job to defend the NIE. Bush has always overplayed his omniscience over those with better education, experience and expertise.

In Bush’s pea sized brain, these people are totally “expendable” – and part of the “collateral damage” of his reign of ineptitude.

Idiot in Chief’s job is not to defend anyone he’s hired in his entire administration. The “buck stops at the top” has reversed itself as Bush distances himself from every one of his appointees and kicks each of them to the curb! I can’t wait to see the melee which is going to ensue as Bush disowns every last one of his appointees and blames THEM for their corrupt deeds while he washes his hands of it all. This is no commander whatsoever – this is a whimp who hasn’t performed a single aspect of his job well or honestly for 7 years! He’s surrounded himself with yes men and sycophants, along with inept, inexperienced children in critical positions so he can easily kick them to the curb when it’s “time”.

I believe they want a weapon, and I believe that theyâ€™re trying to gain the know-how as to how to make a weapon under the guise of a civilian nuclear program.

Bush is either lying, or he is ignorant of the process. You cannot “make a weapon under the guise of a civilian nuclear program”.

Most present day reactors (Light Water Reactors or LWRs) use enriched uranium where the proportion of the U-235 isotope has been increased from 0.7% to about 3% or up to 5%. (For comparison, uranium used for nuclear weapons would have to be enriched in plants specially designed to produce at least 90% U-235.)

this man has continually put himself above his office. For the future of this country we cannot allow this man to be anything more than a figurehead and nothing more can be allowed to be pushed down our throats by this administration.

Pelosi is playing politics and ignoring the will of the people. I hope that the people in her district remind her of what the will of the people truly want.
