WASHINGTON (AFP) - US President George W. Bush has warned of the danger posed by a nuclear-armed Iran but dismissed talk of a likely US attack on Iran as "noise" from his critics.

The comments came after the Pentagon said a US military buildup in the Gulf represented a message to "potential adversaries" in the region, and Bush himself has vowed to crush any Iranian networks fueling violence that claims the lives of US soldiers in Iraq.

"I guess my reaction to all the noise about, you know, 'he wants to go to war,' is -- first of all I don't understand the tactics, and I guess I would say it's political," Bush told CSPAN television in an interview Tuesday.

* I especially love the last two paragraphs.

After promising for weeks to reveal evidence underpinning its allegations that Tehran had been arming Iraqi insurgents, the White House scrapped a briefing almost at the last minute.

"The truth is, quite frankly, we thought the briefing overstated. And we sent it back to get it narrowed and focused on the facts," Bush's national security adviser Stephen Hadley said February 2.

This has the flavor of one of those outrageous distractions that bush uses to buy time while he & his sickos destroy the country. bush* has this way of keeping the attention on his 2nd-rate foilbles that never amount to anything in the end. In the meanwhile, the biggest military f-up in our nation's history continues unabated.

2. "Churning"

that's what he called the media speculation that he had war plans against Iraq back in 2002 (Rumsfeld corrected him and called it a "frenzy").

(If anyone remembers the dust-blown press conference they had in Crawford that summer).
