Bush Says Iran Still Must Explain Past Nuclear Work

TEHRAN, Dec. 5 — President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran hailed the American intelligence assessment concluding that his country was no longer developing nuclear weapons as a big victory today, but President Bush said Iran still had many questions to answer about its past nuclear work.

The new intelligence report, published Monday, concluded that Iran had halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003, seeming to undercut the whole thrust of the Bush administration’s policy on Iran. On Tuesday, Mr. Bush warned that Iran was still a danger. In further tough-sounding remarks today, he said bluntly that Iran had to come clean on the work it had done on its nuclear program prior to 2003 or risk international isolation.

Emerging from Air Force One at Eppley Airfield near Omaha, Mr. Bush said it was clear from the intelligence assessment “that the Iranian government has more to explain about its nuclear intentions and past actions.”

Mr. Bush said the Iranians had a “strategic choice” to make — to fully acknowledge past nuclear activities and suspend their uranium enrichment work, or to “continue on a path of isolation that is not in the best interests of the Iranian people.” He added, “The choice is up to the Iranian regime.”

:wtf: Just how thick is he?

6. It is truly loony toons.

Nobody could make this shit up and have it be believable.

3. We all know the explaination...

Bush called them part of the "Axis of Evil", as if they had something to do with 9-11, then set about attacking Iraq.

4. The Iranians and the rest of the world should tell him

to FUCK OFF.

Shouldn't * be explaining his illegal wars etc...

8. Yes, he should be..and

if we had a Free Press instead of m$$$$$$$$$$$$m he wouldn't be getting away with propoganda to bomb another country.

Welcome to DU, SillyFlower!

[StarryNite]

12. Yes! * is the one who has

some "splainin'" to do!

5. What's he going to do if they refuse?

Nuke em?

Give it a rest Bush, it's all over for your sorry ass. Nobody with a brain trusts you any more.

7. How nice for the Iranians that

they have this sociopathic fascist A$$hole yelling at them about their former whatever. Too bad the NIE came out or fuckhead would be lyin' about that..and who's writing stupid's speeches now? Don't tell me he's writing them himself? That, or there's someone out there who's just as mentally challenged in the bushits'.

9. Maybe Iran should show Bush the receipts for their nuclear equipment which they got from Halliburton

[Marr]

10. I like this idea. If we're going to start demanding explanations of past

activities that are no longer going on, I'd like Bush to explain his cocaine habit, his desertion, and his grandfather's Nazi ties.

11. ...and that's just for starters! nt
