an excerpt that, i feel, illustrates bush's true intentions for iran:

"I think it's best I just leave it that all options should be on the table, and the last option is the military option. We have got to work hard to exhaust all diplomacy and that's what you're--that's what the country is seeing happen."

1. Funny, Reminds me of something --

<snip>

Bush: “Of course, I haven’t made up my mind we’re going to war with Iraq.” <10/1/02>

Bush:“Hopefully, we can do this peacefully — don’t get me wrong. And if the world were to collectively come together to do so, and to put pressure on Saddam Hussein and convince him to disarm, there’s a chance he may decide to do that. And war is not my first choice, don’t — it’s my last choice.” <11/7/02>

Bush: “This is our attempt to work with the world community to create peace. And the best way for peace is for Mr. Saddam Hussein to disarm. It’s up to him to make his decision.” <12/4/02>

Bush: “You said we’re headed to war in Iraq — I don’t know why you say that. I hope we’re not headed to war in Iraq. I’m the person who gets to decide, not you. I hope this can be done peacefully.” <12/31/02>

Bush: “First of all, you know, I’m hopeful we won’t have to go war, and let’s leave it at that.” <1/2/03>

2. If that's the case

If we roll into Iran I'm getting the hell out of this country. It's like the Jews in the 1930's that were lucky enough to see what was coming. I'll be getting the hell out of dodge as I want nothing to do with a country that wants to go knock over another democracy.

3. Sombody ought to ask that nasty little turd and Bush's fellow

war criminal Tony Blair if a war with Iran is already a done deal.
