| 2004-04-21 |
| DEBKA HEADLINES Last Updated on April 22, 2004, 12:08 AM (GMT+02:00) Bush says a nuclear-armed Iran would pose an intolerable threat to Middle East peace and mortal danger to Israel. He was speaking to newspaper editors and publishers in Washington Haven’t seen this anyplace else but it shouldn’t be too hard to run down. Another piece in the "who’s next" puzzle. |

| #8 I think his statement is even stronger than just 'intolerable.' BUSH - "One of my jobs is to make sure they speak as plainly as possible to the Iranians, and make it absolutely clear that the development of a nuclear weapon in Iran is intolerable, and a program is intolerable, otherwise there would be -- otherwise they will be dealt with, starting through the United Nations. ***SNIP*** I think the message is getting delivered to them that it's intolerable if they develop a nuclear weapon. It would be intolerable to peace and stability in the Middle East if they get a nuclear weapon, particularly since their stated objective is the destruction of Israel." |

| #5 "He was speaking to newspaper editors and publishers in Washington." No wonder it hasn't made the networks. Read it in the morning. |

| #3 The admin are no idiots, they know that Iran is the real threat. I'm thinking that there is a nuclear complex that is about to become trash. |

| #2 it's about time - I really thought Bush would hold off on these types of statements till after november. Kerry and the dems have really put a damper on the WOT with thier rhetoric..and American soldiers are dying - cause and effect - our enemies hear bullshit and have grown bolder - alot bolder since last summer. |

| #1 I hope that "intolerable" really means "about to be bombed into rubble." |
