US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was confronted by Republican Congressman Ron Paul over the administration’s failure to produce evidence that Iran has a nuclear weapons program. During Rice’s presentation of the State Department’s annual budget request to the congressional foreign affairs committee, Congressman Paul said, “Unproven charges against Iran’s nuclear intentions are eerily reminiscent of the false charges made against Iraq.”

Paul drew further similarities between the allegations that Iran is building nuclear weapons and the claims that Saddam was building Weapons of Mass Destruction. “This sounds like Iraq, where accusations came first and proof was supposed to come later – only that proof never came because the accusations turned out to be false.”

6. Libertarian, really. Republican who smokes pot.

It's a matter of not wanting his money to help welfare mothers, I would guess.

4. After all their lying about Iraq, the burden of proof should be laid on the administration

ten-fold.

5. Just goes to show Asking Excellent Questions Does Not Have To Be Partisan...

I realize most Republicans would never ask such a question, but sure is good to hear it posed to those in power.
