George Bush, being interviewed on 60 Minutes, "doubled down" on the big lie about Iran, which seems to be becoming a daily occurrence. Describing what he would say to Iranian President Ahmadinejad, he would say, among other things:
"You've threatened countries with nuclear weapons. You've said you want a nuclear weapon."
So now we've gone from just wanting a nuclear weapon to actually threatening other countries with them. Once more with feeling -- not only hasn't Iran (unlike the U.S.) threatened other countries with nuclear weapons, and not only hasn't it said it "wants" a nuclear weapon, it has said precisely the opposite.
And, once again, the interviewer made not the slightest effort to contradict these blatant lies by Bush.
Bonus post: Jaw-dropping quote of the day
Here's the exact quote, but the Reuters paraphrase is a little clearer:
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Sunday that speculation about an Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear facilities underscored the risk of failing to persuade Tehran to halt uranium enrichment.
Or, it underscored the risk of having U.S. imperialism and its junior partner in Israel running amok in the world. Your call.
