Bush Spins Iran's Centrifuges

Those who know about the centrifuges used to refine uranium tell me they must spin at an almost unrivaled velocity—almost unrivaled, because Bush administration statements are being spun at equivalent speed by White House and corporate media spiders.

Without weaver-in-chief Karl Rove and former presidential spokesman Tony Snow, it is amateur hour at the White House. And the theater would be as funny as The Daily Show were the subject not so serious.

Judging from President George W. Bush’s words and body language he is far from giving up on ways to “justify” attacking Iran’s nuclear program—weapons-related or not. He appears convinced he must honor the pledge he has made to Israel’s current leaders to eliminate what they have called an “existential threat” to Israel.

This came through in a particularly pointed way when an agitated president ad-libbed about the possibility of World War III, complaining loudly, “We’ve got a leader in Iran who has announced he wants to destroy Israel.”

Not at all helpful to the president was the judgment of U.S. intelligence that the Iranians halted their nuclear weapons-related program in 2003, a judgment the administration made public this week.

2. Geezers Arise ! Young whippersnappers too ...
"Please tell me the hopes of yesterday have not all gone up in smoke. Take notice old flowered ones, the times are a'changing, and for the worse. Our nation needs us, and our reputation at home and around the globe is as dry as dry can get.

So either get with the program and find your patriotic post, or punch me in the dead-spot until I die. Because I refuse to sit idly by and do nothing while waiting to get rounded up as an 'enemy combatant' by jack-booted Blackwater mercenaries and have a microchip shoved up my ass. So...Lose the kick-stand and Reeve-up the motors, It’s time to mount up and ride..."
