Here we go again!!! Cheney says Iran "MAY" have restarted nuclear weapons program

The Dark Lord Cheney has been let loose again. He's on the prowl out there, fearmongering and telling us how "dangerous Iran MIGHT be. They MAY have NUCLEAR WEAPONS." When asked how that assessment comports with recent polls that show more than two-thirds of Americans think the Iraq war was not worth it, Cheney replied: "SO?" (!!!) The reporter asked, "You don't care what the American people think?" After a brief pause came his answer: "You can't be blown off course by polls." Well, we all know what the Cheney/Bush course is, don't we?

Next will come our invasion of Iran, which I believe this administration has had planned for many months, if not years. Expect Condosleezza to come out soon with her "mushroom cloud" warning.

Deja vu, anyone? Remember "Iraq MAY have WMDs" then "Iraq DOES HAVE WMDs." Then invasion. Then "OOPS. Well, they MIGHT have had WMDs." Five years and trillions of dollars later--and 4,000 of our soldiers dead and millions of Iraqis dead--we are still stuck in that tar baby, which McCain is predicting could go on for 100 more years.

Our Congress did not impeach these evil men. When we begged them to impeach Bush & Cheney, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid (UGH) told us repeatedly, "Impeachment is off the table." SO--when a U.S. invasion of Iran begins, we will know who to blame. When will "We, the people" stop being the pawns of these powermongering demonic men who don't care if they turn the world upside down, as long as they and their corporate buddies make a profit? I'll venture a guess at an answer to that question: When we stop voting for them.

CHENEY: IRAN MAY HAVE RESTARTED NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGRAM

MUSCAT, Oman (AP) - Retaining his tough stance against Iran, Vice President Dick Cheney said Wednesday that Tehran may have restarted the nuclear weaponization program that a U.S. intelligence report said was halted in 2003. Speaking in Oman, a U.S.-allied Arab monarchy and neighbor of Iran's, Cheney told ABC News, "The important thing to keep in mind is the objective that we share with many of our friends in the region, and that is that a nuclear-armed Iran would be very destabilizing for the entire area." In December an intelligence report known as the National Intelligence Estimate concluded that Iran's nuclear weapons development program was stopped in the fall of 2003 because of international pressure. The report, however, cautioned that Tehran continues to enrich uranium and still could develop a bomb between 2010 and 2015 if it decided to do so. Critics of the Bush administration said the report should dampen any campaign for a U.S. confrontation with Iran. But Cheney that that while the NIE said Iran had a program to develop a nuclear warhead, it remains unclear if it has resumed that activity. "What it (the NIE) says is that they have definitely had in the past a program to develop a nuclear warhead; that it would appear that they stopped that weaponization process in 2003. We don't know whether or not they've restarted," he said. "What we do know is that they had then, and have now, a process by which they're trying to enrich uranium, which is the key obstacle they've got to overcome in order to have a nuclear weapon," he added. "They've been working at it for years." The vice president's visit to Oman, part of a 10-day trip to the Mideast, fueled speculation that the United States was ratcheting up military pressure on Iran over its nuclear program. As a quiet U.S. military ally, Oman allows the United States to use four air bases—including one just 50 miles from Iran—for refueling, logistics and storage of pre-positioned military supplies. Cheney denied that he'd stepped up his opposition to Iran's nuclear policy. "I've been pretty consistent over time about Iran," he said. "I don't think I've ratcheted up the rhetoric. I felt strongly for a long time, and a lot of us have, that Iran should not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons." Cheney officials said the vice president wanted to visit the sultanate to show U.S. appreciation for its cooperation in fighting terrorism, but that Iran would be a top topic of discussion. Before dining with Oman's Sultan Qaboos bin Said, Cheney borrowed his 60-foot royal yacht and went fishing. A Cheney spokeswoman said the vice president, his wife Lynne, and daughter, Liz, a former State Department official who is traveling with her father as a private citizen, headed out under sunny skies into the Gulf of Oman on "Kingfish I." Cheney has had a personal relationship with the sultan going back to the time when the vice president was defense secretary, but the sultan did not go along on the fishing trip.
