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

#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.

#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.

#5 "He was speaking to newspaper editors and publishers in Washington."

No wonder it hasn't made the networks. Read it in the morning.

Bush: Iran on the way to becoming "intolerable threat"

"On the way"? How about "already there"?

#7 Jeff Jarvis was there. I asked him about the quote, but he's not had time to reply.

(Hey, I finally figured out this embedded link thing. Yay, me.)

#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."
