President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have rejected findings from U.S. intelligence agencies that Iran has halted a clandestine effort to build a nuclear bomb and "do not want to leave Iran in place with a nuclear program," Hersh said.

"They believe that their mission is to make sure that before they get out of office next year, either Iran is attacked or it stops its weapons program," Hersh said.

So Iran claims they have no such program. Our intelligence states they have no such program. But Bush & Cheney know better? Did Jesus tell them?

I guess they want to do everything they can to drive up oil prices for their buddies and compromise our standing in the world before they split.

I wouldn't be too alarm considering the source making the allegations. This guy claimed that the U.S has been doing covert operations in Iran for the past couple of years. The Government of Camel Fucking Iran denied it.


Liberal sensationalist spinster if there ever was one.

Stuff like this wakes up my bad conscience for not distributing a very special Swedish brand of terror amongst the USMC.

Iraqi Oil Fields Up for Bidding

Why can't we seize these oil fields and get a return on our investment?!?! That wouldn't be politically correct, would it?!?!

Wasn't that why you went in the first place? or was that WMD's or to get rid of Saddam? im confused...

We went to spread democracy. Uhhh... I mean to fight them over there, so we wouldn't have to fight them over here. Uhhh... I mean because we are liberators.

With the price of gas, I'm not sure how many people here would care. However, I suspect China and India might be none too thrilled.

There's a difference between something not being politically correct and something being a catastrophic failure in international relations that will impact a hell of a lot more than gas prices.
