Preznit Honor an' Accountability under fire over Iran claims

"Just when it seemed that American credibility could not sink any lower, comes word from America's own spy agencies that Iran wasn't making the bomb that George W. Bush said it was." -- the Toronto Star.

The White House Thursday struggled to defend the dire warnings about Iran made by the Liar-in-Chief even after he had learned that Tehran had frozen its atomic weapons program in 2003.

Preznit Accountabilitude said that he had only been briefed on November 28 and blamed the whole mess on US Director of National Intelligence Michael McConnell, saying his earlier warning had been "vague," even as WH spokesclone Dana Peroxide refuted Bush's claim.

A new US National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) released on Monday formally endorsed that conclusion, which Bush had first heard about in August from McConnell. Yet on August 28, Bush warned of a "nuclear holocaust" if the Islamic republic developed nuclear weapons, and on October 17 he warned that anyone interested in avoiding "World War III" should support his sorry, lying ass.

Some Democrats, digging their testicles out of their attics along with the Christmas tree lights, were not letting it slide.

"Are you telling me a president who's briefed every single morning, who's fixated on Iran, is not told back in August that the tentative conclusion of 16 intelligence agencies in the United States government said they had abandoned their effort for a nuclear weapon in '03?" asked Senator Joe Biden. "Sorry, but no fucking way."

Harry Reid: “I am growing increasingly concerned about the White House’s inconsistent 'explanations' of when that moronic little twit was told about the new intelligence regarding Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions. It appears President Liar and Vice President Dickless were briefed in August on this information, before both began to ratchet up their increasingly-heated rhetoric on the threat of 'World War III' and 'nuclear holocaust.' Some answers would be nice, gentleman. Otherwise, the next 'smoking mushroom clouds' you'll be talking about will be the ones coming from your rectum from the major asskicking I'll be giving you."

Well, OK, I made that part up, but Mr Reid is just too damn polite.

Fucked fact: even after learning Iran shitcanned their weapons program, the Bush White House still blew off negotiating with them. Preznentin' is hard work! It keeps interferin' wiv readin' comic books!
