How does Iran "come clean?"

[Wizard777]

They say that they are legally pursuing nuclear energy. They are cooperating with the IAEA. Bush says, your lying! You have a nuclear weapons program. Your gonna start World War III. The NIE comes out and proves Bush was lying. Bush says, they are still a danger. Since Bush will not listen to the truth presented by Iran, the UN, or even American intelligence. How does Iraq come clean?

[Brian Fearn]

*Can* Iran come clean?

Is there anything at all that Iran could do that would convince Bush and his associates that nuclear weapons weren't the goal?

Seems unlikely to me.

1. Why does the sovereign nation of Iran have to do Bush's bidding?

Who exactly appointed Bush ruler of the world?

[LakeSamish706]

5. Thats the question that I have been asking for some time now! Who the hell...

died and left him boss of the world anyway? Piss on Bush, he is nothing but a piss aunt anyway.... I wish some of these countries would tell him that too.. ie: China, Russia etc. instead of leaving the heavy lifting to Hugo Chavez to do.

21. Putin probably told him priavtely to hug a root, and that's why

he feels like he has to get his nasty little hands on Iran before they do.

[Wizard777]

23. Bush has certainly boosted Putins' credibility with this fiasco. Ahmadinejads' too.

The release of this NIE is being likened to an earthquake that hit Washington DC. NIEgate is now the big story that has the whole town shook up.

17. He's self-appointed.

That way, he's not accountable to anyone.

[mike_c]

2. same way that Iraq had to come clean....

"If he says he doesn't have weapons of mass destruction, we'll know that he's lying." Only he was the only one telling the truth, all along.

[Brian Fearn]

4. This is kind of like psychoanalysis

If you acknowledge it, you're guilty. If you object, you're guilty, too.

Damned either way.

[TankLV]

11. More like - if you float, then you're a witch, if you drown and die, you're innocent.

Same idiots, different century...

[madeline_con]

18. Or a witch hunt. We need a new 'enemy', and now!

People are tired of the Iraq lies, and '08's an election year. Gota act fast.

[ixion]

3. why, by allowing the US to carpet bomb them

of course. :sarcasm:

[LakeSamish706]

6. Naw, he wants to do more than carpet bomb them.. He wants to use Nukes don't ya know? n/t

[Wizard777]

7. I've long said that Bush will not rest until gets to use a nuke. That was his first suggestion for

dealing with Iraq's WMD's. He wanted to drop a nuke on them to vaporize them.

[madeline_con]

20. The shame of it is, he can't even pronounce 'nuclear'. eom

[madeline_con]

19. He'd get off on that, for sure.

:puke:

[LakeSamish706]

8. I suspect that Bush probably will bomb Iran before his term is up...

no mater what the consequences that may follow. He lives to snuff out life and probably couldn't stand not being able to kill someone or something.

[Wizard777]

10. I can see Bush ordering the bombing of Iran on his way out the White House door.

Then claiming it was not his last act as President. But the new President's first act.

[Maine-i-acs]

9. "I DEMAND an explanation! How can you not have nucular weapons?"

Jeebus H. Christmas.

When is he going to lean on Pakistan's and Israel's nukes, if he's concerned about regional WMD's? And why is he so damn eager to help India develop nukes, in exchange for some stupid mangoes??

[doublethink]

12. Your reminded me of this ...... trying to prove a negative .....

"You see, we're in a stupid position. We're asking Iraq to prove a negative. You can't prove you have nothing, you can only prove you have something. So it's an impossible demand..." -snip-

just replace 'Iraq' with 'Iran' ... and you have this

You see, we're in a stupid position. We're asking Iran to prove a negative. You can't prove you have nothing, you can only prove you have something. So it's an impossible demand...

rest here .... http://www.novanotes.com/jan2003/jan302003.htm

It's getting closer isn't it? :nuke: ..... same playbook .....

[Wizard777]

13. I know what you mean. Why should the conspiracy theorists prove Bush & Cheney

were the real masterminds behind 9/11? They should use bush's own policy and positions against him. Bush and Cheney should have to prove that they weren't the real masterminds behind 9/11. It's just crazy. But that's par for the course with Bush.

[Brian Fearn]

16. Proving you have nothing

"You see, we're in a stupid position. We're asking Iran to prove a negative. You can't prove you have nothing, you can only prove you have something. So it's an impossible demand..."

Exactly. If the search for weapons comes up empty-handed, that simply means that the weapons are hidden really well!

[The_Casual_Observer]

14. The only sure way, as in the past, is a ground invasion where

thousands are killed followed by years of coming up empty handed.

[spag68]

15. Iran comes clean

with Tide

[TahitiNut]

22. By proving a negative, of course.

Nevermind that it can't be done. Nevermind that Logic 101 prescribes the failure to prove the positive as inferentially affirming the negative, since Cheney/Bush have never been required to prove the positive ... without blatant lies. It's not logic. It's not justice. It's "might makes right" - fascism.
