Bush says Iranian missiles could reach US, all Europe by 2015
Source: Forbes

WASHINGTON (Thomson Financial) - US President George Bush has warned that Iran could develop an intercontinental ballistic missile able to reach the US and all of Europe before 2015.

'Our intelligence community assess that, with continued foreign assistance, Iran could develop an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of reaching the United States and all of Europe before 2015,' he said.

5. I don't know why he bothers saying this shit... No one in their right mind...
is going to believe a word he says anyway. Lets be serious, these lunatics are going to bomb Iran unless someone can manage a way to stop them, and I don't see anything in the wind that will do that.

8. HIS intelligence community
This is the same intelligence community that "verified" that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.

But the Republicans are reading this and while shaking in their boots at the thought that the Iranians will nuke us, are once again waving their little flags while screaming "The Muslims are coming, the Muslims are coming, we have to stop the Muslims."

I hate to be so hateful but I wish someone would develop a weapon that would only kill Republicans. And drop it. Quickly.

9. "....with continued foreign assistance..."
And which foreign countries are giving Iran this "assistance"? It couldn't possibly be are trading partners and huge US debt holders, the Chinese, or the man whose soul Bush claimed to have seen, his pal Pooty, maybe it's our Pakistani allies in the war on terror.

Hell, my guess would be that it's the Lilliputians from the island nation of UpCheneysAss!!!!!


God what a git, and there are those brian dead enough to buy this crap.

43. the Real "continued foreign assistance" * never will identify is:
Helliburton Inc., Dubai, and everybody knows (excepting the kool-aid drinkers) the war criminal who stands to benefit from his no-bid contracts & illegal ASSistance there.

It's all written on toilet paper rolls at the PNAC Asylum: illegally provide the material and then bomb them under the lie that they will try to destroy us all with them... :nuke:

Until then, shut up you lamest of ducks.

17. Ha! I can just imagine the conversation when his advisors first "advised" him:
Advisors: "Mr. President, we have information indicating that Iranian missiles could reach the US by 2015"

Resident Asshat: "By 2015?! Well crap - I could WALK from Iran to the US in less time!"

Advisors: "Uh - no... you don't understand, sir. What we mean is..."

Resident Asshat: "Those things must be slower to come than my wife was on our..."

Advisors: "Uh - yes.. never mind sir... Call us if you'd like additional clarifying details"

18. SO WHAT???
Does Bush think the Iranians are insane or stupid enough to launch an ICBM at anybody? Clearly he thinks people are stupid or insane enough to buy his deluded thinking.

Now what upside would there be to Iran to launch? Surely the Iranians realize that they would be the target of many retaliatory strikes, enough to essentially destroy the place.

This is the same load of crap that people were fed (and bought hook, line, and sinker) about Iraq.

19. Yeah? Well, my '65 Chevy could reach Iran by 2015, too (if I started out today)
The point being: I have no desire to drive to Iran, just as Iran doesn't have a desire to lob missiles at us. You tried this shtick on us before and it turned out to be nothing but a pack of lies. **** YOU, Herr Busch!

Our intelligence community assess that... So when did you start listening to your "intelligence community?" You sure as hell didn't prior to 9/11/01!

I just that the bullshit charade. He is Fuhrer. Bushler's will is law, so let's not make any bones about it.

Hmmm. Let's see, the attack is probbaly scheduled for the spring which means the Bushie False Flag Fake Provocation is scheduled for late Feb. or early March (3/11 this time, maybe, for the Bushies and their al-Qaeda pals?

if they take eight years to get here. It takes one ship with a nuclear device to dock in one of our major ports about a week to get here. Priorities priorities.

31. Crying Wolf
Not only is this administration a laughing stock (in a scarey kind of way) in America and around the world, but because of their past behavior of lies and deceit, they can never be trusted again, but...

what is frightening is that if there actually WAS a real threat from Iran or elsewhere, a vast portion of the world would never take it seriously coming from this ship of fools. If fact, Bush is giving cover for Irans leaders in a backwards kind of way....hey they'll say, who ya gonna believe...us or him?

then again national security (ie. Valerie Plame) has never actually been a high priority with him.

that the Iraqis were going to use against us during their nuclear coastal attacks we warned about? Hell, the Iraqis never used them, and it would be a shame to waste them like that, and the Iranians could save money too!

36. This is the exact same bullshit the Brits' were writing--the "45 minutes to London"
gag in their 'Dodgy Dossier' on Iraq--the lie that got the Brits WMD expert David Kelly killed (cuz he called bullshit on it--and they weren't sure what other bullshit he might call them on, even worse, so they whacked him). (That's my opinion--SAME WEEK the U.S. fascists were outing Plame and her WMD counter-proliferation network.) That was what all the fracas was about in the UK at that time--the phony, trumped up, lying, flying-in-the-face-of-the-facts, warmongering deception that Saddam Hussein had a bead on England and the "mushroom cloud" was 45 minutes away. Colin Powell's 100% BS to the UN was how they were going to do it--the "mobile missile labs" that turned out to be milk trucks or something. So much grief over those godddamned lies! So many dead! So many tortured! Our country morally and financially bankrupt.

I'm kind of amazed, not that Bush flings this warmed over bullshit at us time and again, but at the INSULT to us, as a people, that is being flung at us by his puppetmasters. This gets under my skin. I imagine fatcat fascist multibillionaires chuckling over their cigars at the sheer, demoralizing INSULT of foisting this complete asshole upon us as "president" and trumpeting his defective, psychopathic stupidity to all the world. How they must smile at this coup! 'Did you think you were CITIZENS of a great nation? Did you think you were WELL-EDUCATED and MAKING PROGRESS in the human enterprise? Did you think you had any RIGHTS as Americans? Any reason to be proud? Any reason to feel patriotic? Did you think well of "your" country, and its democratic traditions, and its creativity, and its engenuity, and its built-in ability to change a disastrous course? Think again, peons, slaves, cannon fodder! THIS is what WE think of your beloved country: this stupid fuck we've crowned as your emperor! And you can't do anything about it!'
