Glad we have the Credentialed Media to tell us these things: U.S. now sees Iran as pursuing nuclear bomb
Little more than a year after U.S. spy agencies concluded that Iran had halted work on a nuclear weapon, the Obama administration has made it clear that it believes there is no question that Tehran is seeking the bomb.
In his news conference this week, President Obama went so far as to describe Iran’s “development of a nuclear weapon” before correcting himself to refer to its “pursuit” of weapons capability.
Obama’s nominee to serve as CIA director, Leon E. Panetta, left little doubt about his view last week when he testified on Capitol Hill. “From all the information I’ve seen,” Panetta said, “I think there is no question that they are seeking that capability.”
So, when it was the Bush administration saying it, there was derision and disbelief. Now, not so much. I would put forth that Dubya has been vindicated, eh?
Meanwhile, the BBC tells us that women’s rights, heck, everyone’s rights, have not been doing well since the Shah was deposed.
The International Herald Tribune informs us that Iran is buying into hopeNchange. More likely, Iran knows a sucker when they see one.
And al-Reuters paints a picture of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that seems eerily like Obama.
In related news, way to go, Senator Feinstein, in revealing the secret that Predators are operating out of Pakistan. That should create massive issues in that country. Riots, perhaps? A complete loss of Pakistani co-operation? Government falling? I guess we will see. And probably soon.
More: and the recriminations start
The Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Friday castigated the previous and incumbent governments for ëlyingà to the nation on drone attacks, which were being flown from air bases inside Pakistan.
He demanded of the Parliament to take serious note of this deliberate “deceit and lying†and immediately order a probe into the matter….
We’d better not go and attack Iran however, lest the intelligence be faulty and we find no WMDs. Wouldn’t want to hear the silent cries of “OBAMA LIED, MILLIONS DIED!!”…
Obambi is going to be like the joke about the British police. When they see a criminal they yell “Stop! Or I’ll yell stop! again.”
