We must go to war to stop Iran from getting WMDs, but we can trust Bush with all the nukes he wants

[Bjorn Against]

George Bush told us there were Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, and for this reason we had to go to war to take him out. Our great liberal media did not care too much about the fact that there was no real proof of these WMDs, the Bush Administration told them they were there and that is all they needed to know.

And so they issued their numerous warnings to us. We heard them warn us over and over again that we could not trust Saddam Hussein with WMDs, we heard he posed a serious threat to the United States and the world, we heard about how dangerous he was over and over and over again. And we were told not to question, it was a fact that Saddam had WMDs and anyone who denied it was an angry ignorant peacenik who hated America.

Well it turned out that thing about Saddam having WMDs may not have been so factual after all, but look over there in Iran! They are developing a nuclear program, so now we have to scared of them! Maybe that last war was not really about WMDs, but this one really will be! After all the people who did such a great job informing you in the lead up to the Iraq war are telling you it is true, so how could you possibly doubt the threat this time?

But don't you dare ask about that arsenal of WMDs that exists right here in the United States. We all know that George Bush can be trusted with his weapons, because he has never done anything that would suggest that he is not always completely rational. Just because he has debated using nuclear weapons preemptively in the past does not mean that the guy can not be trusted with his finger on the nuclear button.

Don't talk about impeachment, because it is perfectly safe to allow this man to have access to enough weapons to blow up the world multiple times over. Why should we debate such an irrelevant issue as to whether or not it is safe to have a mentally unhinged person sit at his desk knowing that he can kill millions with just one single phone call.

So let us just ignore the impeachment issue we need to focus on other things, after all what is the worst that could happen? Maybe some nuclear fallout. No big deal right?

2. I don't trust Bush or Ahmadinejad with nukes

If I had my way, they would both be out of office yesterday.
