18. You're either on the bus or off the bus.

I can't say my quote shows the exact words they used, and to me it doesn't matter

if they're not developing a weapon, they can't have a program to do so. Panetta said they're not pursuing a weapon. That's pretty clear. Any "news" story saying the US believes Iran is developing a weapon (or a weapons program) is a lie.

You can't be on the bus and off the bus at the same time.

or better stated, if you're off the bus, the news can't say you're on it. If they do, they're lying.
