Bush: 'My opinion hasn't changed' towards Iran
Nick Juliano
Published: Tuesday December 4, 2007

&sig President Bush said Tuesday that he just learned last week of a newly disclosed intelligence report showing Iran halted its nuclear weapons program hasn't changed, and he reiterated that the new intelligence would not change his approach to the regime.

"Iran was dangerous, Iran is dangerous, and Iran will be dangerous if they have the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon," Bush said.

The president's comments mark a departure from his previous rhetoric warning of "World War III" if Iran obtained nuclear weapons, but he pointedly refused to repudiate those remarks.

"My opinion hasn't changed," Bush said, regarding Iran's threat to world peace.

The president was reacting to Monday's disclosure of a National Intelligence Estimate that showed Iran stopped trying to develop a nuclear weapon in 2003, although the administration estimate maintained that Iran still aims to re-start a covert nuclear weapons program.

"I still feel strongly that Iran's a danger," Bush said. "Nothing's changed in this NIE that we say, 'Well, let's stop worrying about it.'"

Bush said Iran could resume a covert nuclear program, and he warned that Iranian leaders could pass along knowledge on building a nuclear weapon to terrorist groups.

"Most of the world understands that Iran with a nuclear weapon could be a serious danger to peace," Bush said.

The United States needs to act immediately, he said, to dissuade Iran from pursuing a nuclear weapon.

"Our policy remains the same," Bush said. "I see a danger, and much of the world sees the same danger."

Bush and allies urge pressure on Iran despite report
12 minutes ago
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran exulted on Tuesday at a U.S. intelligence report contradicting earlier Bush administration assertions it was building an atomic bomb, but President George W. Bush and his allies Britain and France urged continued international pressure on Tehran.

Bush: DNI Told Me ‘We Have Some New Information, He Didn’t Tell Me What The Information Was’
At a press briefing this morning, President Bush said he was told by his Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell “in August” that “we have some new information” regarding Iran’s nuclear program. But Bush asserted “he didn’t tell me what the information was”:

BUSH: I was made aware of the NIE last week. In August, I think it was John — Mike McConnell came in and said, We have some new information. He didn’t tell me what the information was. He did tell me it was going to take a while to analyze.

Later, when a reporter followed-up on this statement, Bush asserted no one ever told him to stop ratcheting up the rhetoric against Iran:

REPORTER: Are you saying at no point while the rhetoric was escalating, as World War III was making it into conversation — at no point, nobody from your intelligence team or your administration was saying, Maybe you want to back it down a little bit?

BUSH: No — I’ve never — nobody ever told me that.

Watch it:

Yesterday, National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley said, “when the President was told that we had some additional information, he was basically told: stand down; needs to be evaluated; we’ll come to you and tell you what we think it means.” Later in the briefing, Hadley reversed course and said, “In terms of stand down, they did not tell the President to stand down and stop talking about Iran’s nuclear program.”

White House officials are obfuscating on what they knew and when they knew it because the answer has the potential of further damaging the credibility of what they have asserted about Iran in the past few months. As ThinkProgress has noted, while the intelligence community was processing new information that Iran was “less determined to develop nuclear weapons,” President Bush was specifically warning that Iran was trying to “build a nuclear weapon.”

To recap: At the same time Bush was ratcheting up the rhetoric on Iran, he was told by his National Intelligence Director that that have “some new information.” Yet Bush wants the public to believe he never learned what the information was, nor was he interested.

if any of us bloggers are invited to join their commune?

Israel publicly challenged the U.S. intelligence consensus that Iran had stopped its nuclear weapons program. “It’s apparently true that in 2003 Iran stopped pursuing its military nuclear program for a time. But in our opinion, since then it has apparently continued that program,” Israeli defense minister Ehud Barak told army radio.

Five Objectives for True Patriots

There is certainly room for improvement in America. Here is a Top 5 list of candidates for thoughtfulness over blind acceptance.

1. How we spend our money

2. What we give to the world

3. The people we ignore

4. Our lifestyles

5. The growing income disparity

So what can we do?

Find a presidential candidate who has the guts to stand up to the military and the arms exporters; who will ensure that multinational companies respect human rights laws; and who will cancel the tax cuts and capital gains breaks for the wealthy. And while we're complaining about government, we need to take a good look at our own unceasing demand for the consumer goods and comforts that make us many times better off than the great majority of people in the world.

Morning everyone. :)

“Fifty-two percent of Americans say the economy and health care are most important to them in choosing a president, compared with 34% who cite terrorism and social and moral issues, according to the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll. That is the reverse of the percentages recorded just before the 2004 election.”

Was anyone able to snatch that freeze frame of Marc Maron holding the Devil figurine? I'd love to have that as a pic.

Wish I felt more confident.

not just the AIM messenger. I can't stand that thing with all the noises and stock reports interfering with the show.

But there's only so much multi tasking I can do!

Two senior Republican appropriators in the Senate — Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) and Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) — “have collected more money in earmarks than any other members of Congress.” In the words of one GOP aide, they are “not only the kings of pork, they’re outright hogs.”

Just in time for me to catch only the last minute of the show.

Rove draws protests, threatens GOP candidates. With an appearance on Fox News Sunday this weekend and an op-ed in the Financial Times on Sunday, former Bush political adviser (and new Newsweek contributor) Karl Rove has been busy injecting himself into the public discourse this week. Rove drew “a range of protesters” to a speech at Duke University last night, where he claimed “the United States has nothing to apologize in its conduct in the world“:

“The United States has nothing to apologize in its conduct in the world,” he said to the audience.

Rove’s presence attracted a range of protesters and civil rights activists who yelled phrases like “You are a murderer” and held up signs that read phrases such as “LIAR” and “Arrest Him.” An activist dressed as a prisoner also came protesting Rove and the United States government’s stance on torture.

In an interview with the Washington Times yesterday, Rove also threatened that “nobody can risk looking disrespectful to the president without paying a price, and [Republican presidential candidates] need to understand that.”
