This is fucked up. A wiser man then me once said, "Other countries don't hate our values, they hate our hypocrisy." This is a perfect example of the hypocrisy of the Bush administration. Taken from a
Washington post article
today:
BRUSSELS, Feb. 9 -- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Wednesday that Iran must live up to international obligations aimed at curbing the spread of nuclear weapons "or next steps are in the offing."
In a press conference at NATO headquarters, Rice appeared to back away from earlier remarks that were seen as a slight rebuke to the three European powers -- France, Germany and Britain -- that are now negotiating with Iran on its nuclear program.
Can't you almost hear the war drums in the distance? Bush's approval ratings are at the lowest point in the polls after an election of any president in history. Lord knows he needs to muster some support for his backass social security overhaul & making his tax cuts permanent.
Now, back to the hypocrisy point, THE VERY NEXT ARTICLE ON THE POST'S WEBSITE
IS:
Bush Request to Fund Nuclear Study Revives Debate
Administration Wants to Research 'Bunker Buster,' but Critics Seek to Reassess U.S. Readiness
The Bush administration is seeking $8.5 million to resume a study by the Energy and Defense departments on the feasibility of a nuclear "bunker buster" warhead, but the proposal is generating opposition in Congress and some leaders are pushing for a broader review of the nation's multibillion-dollar nuclear weapons programs.
Rep. David L. Hobson (R-Ohio), chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee that handles the $6 billion-plus annual budget of the U.S. nuclear weapons complex, says he wants to raise fundamental questions this year about the size of the U.S. nuclear stockpile and why so many weapons remain on high levels of alert.
Ok. What in the shit are these guys thinking? I don't think I have to dive too deep into this, these stories speak for themselves.
