Bush, British PM push tough approach on Iran
Source: AP

WASHINGTON - President Bush called it "naive" on Thursday to think that Iran couldn't transfer nuclear enrichment capabilities from energy development to atomic bomb production.

Bush rejected Iran's argument that its nuclear activities are intended only for a civilian energy program.

"If that's the case, why did they have a secret program?" he said at a Rose Garden news conference with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

Bush added that he regards Tehran as "untrustworthy" on the topic. Further, even if their activities are only energy related now, that could change, the president said.

"To say that well, OK, it's OK to let them learn to enrich and assume that that program and knowledge couldn't be transferred to a program — a military program — in my judgment is naive," he said.

Brown, in Washington for his second meeting with Bush as prime minister, supported his host's tough stance against Iran. He said he is talking to European leaders about extending European sanctions; the United States is also pushing for a new, tougher round of United Nations' penalties against Tehran.

2. Despite UN inspectors finding NO intention of making nuclear weapons, I think we should
trust the Minority-Report "pre-cogs" Bush has hidden at Site R. They did such a good job on Iraq.

:banghead:

4. None of you know ...
just how far done the rabbit-hole we've fallen.

A nuclear attack on Iran is coming soon. A "false flag" attack will happen first to bitch-slap the masses back into line. The collapse of society will happen so fast we won't have time to organize a resistance. All military aged people will be conscripted into the war effort. Those who resist will be dealt with harshly. Police across this country are being alerted as we speak and being trained to implement Marshall Law and soon. They're already collecting DNA from innocent citizens. 26,000 preachers have been recruited by FEMA to soften-up the masses by preaching servitude to the State. FEMA camps are built and manned. Laws are being broken with impunity by the very people who should be upholding them. Our courts are a joke. Congress might as well just shut down for all the good they are. At least we don't have to worry about steroids in baseball any more. There is no place in this government we go to seek help - they are the ones who are trying to kill us! Police are being trained to line families up and shot them - I'm not making this shit up!

When you have a president that can get on national TV and basically say: "When I told we "don't" torture - I was lying - furthermore, not only did I approve of it - I like it. And what the fuck are you going to do about it?", and we as a people, the press as a whole DO NOTHING - it's OVER. Wrap it up - you're done. Go dig a hole in your back yard and jump the fuck in.

We are so close to the end I'm about paralyzed. If you think I'm being alarmist, think again. Everything I've said can be verified. And one only has to ask who has been held accountable? Who has stopped these cretins from doing everything they've wanted? Since 9/11 We The People have lost more liberties and rights than any so-called terrorist could ever take from us. Read Project for the New American Century "Mission Statement", every single thing they planned back in 97' is coming to pass.

It's all coming very soon and when it does you'll all look back and wonder how it all got so bad so fast.

6.  British PM: Bush owed 'a huge debt of gratitude'
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown discussed a range of topics at the White House on Thursday including terrorism, fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, Iran and economic issues, Bush told reporters afterward.

"I'm pleased to welcome a good friend to the Oval Office, and we had a good discussion. I appreciate our good relationship with Great Britain," Bush said at the start of a joint news conference in the White House Rose Garden.

Britain understands the threats from terrorism, Bush said.

"He shares our determination that these evil men must be stopped."

7. And we thought Brown would be different from Blair...
:rofl:

Evil. Well, Bushler, as the spiritual inheritor of Augusto Pinochet and Adolf Hitler, certainly would know about evil, him being one of the most evil men on this Earth.
