Dean says Bush has exploited fears to make case against Iran

Dubai: The chairman of the Democratic National Committee and one-time presidential hopeful Howard Dean has accused the White House of exploitation and manipulation to promote a narrow, ideological agenda.

‘’For the past few months, the Bush Administration exploited the fears of Americans to make their case against Iran,’’ Dean told Gulf News.

‘’Just a few weeks ago, the President said ‘I believe they want to have the capacity, the knowledge, in order to make a nuclear weapon’. Now 16 U.S. intelligence agencies published a report that in fall 2003, Tehran halted its nuclear weapons program.

Turns out the White House was aware of this shocking assessment for a few months, but reportedly worked to delay its public release.

....’Iran may pose a threat, but misleading the American people is not the way to deal with it. All of the Democratic candidates have said that we need to have all options on the table when dealing with Iran - Republicans seem to only consider war.’’
