Bush: Iran’s Nuclear ‘Holocaust’
August 29th, 2007What will explode first? A false flag nuke, or the bullshit meter?
Via: Times Online:
President Bush gave warning last night that Iran’s pursuit of the atomic bomb could lead to a nuclear holocaust in the Middle East, and promised to confront Tehran “before it is too lateâ€.
Mr Bush’s remarks, the starkest warning that he has made about Iran’s nuclear ambitions, came hours after President Ahmadinejad of Iran said that a power vacuum was imminent in Iraq and that Tehran was ready to fill it.
Mr Bush also talked for the first time of “two strains†of Islamic radicalism causing chaos in Iraq and the region: not only Sunni jihadists, about whom he has spoken often, but also “Shia extremism, supported and embodied by Iran’s Governmentâ€.
The comments displayed a new aggression towards Tehran, a day after President Sarkozy of France raised the prospect of airstrikes on Iran if the crisis over its nuclear ambitions could not be solved through diplomacy.
Mr Bush said: “Iran’s pursuit of 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.
“Iran’s actions threaten the security of nations everywhere, and the United States is rallying friends and allies to isolate Iran’s regime to impose economic sanctions. We will confront this danger before it is too late,†he told war veterans in Nevada.
Mr Bush has said repeatedly that he wants the Iran nuclear standoff to be resolved diplomatically.
“What will explode first? A false flag nuke, or the bullshit meter?”
Bravo!
My bullshit meter has been pegged since Sy Hersh’s Jan 2005 article in the New Yorker suggesting an Iran war by June 2005.
Then there was the hyperventilation about an Iran oil bourse causing TEOTWAWKI in March 2006, for sure this time.
This time I feel like … … whatever.
the smoking gun could come in the form of a mushroom cloud, THIS TIME FOR REAL GUYS!!
