George Bush: Stop World War Three

 

Iran must be stopped from developing a nuclear weapon to avoid World War Three, George Bush warned yesterday.

 

He claimed that Iran would pose a "dangerous threat to world peace" if it was allowed to continue with its nuclear ambitions and urged other leaders to take responsibility for failing to admonish the Islamic republic.

The US was "disappointed" with the Iranian government and its president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad but bore no resentment towards the Iranian people, he added.

In a press conference at the White House, Mr Bush said: "I believe that if Iran had a nuclear weapon it would be a dangerous threat to world peace.

"We have a leader in Iran who has announced that he wants to destroy Israel.

"I've told people that if you're interested in avoiding World War Three, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them having the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon.

"I take the threat of Iran with a nuclear weapon very seriously and will continue to work with all nations about the seriousness of this threat."

He said the US's strategy was to isolate Iran until its president tired of sanctions and decided it was not worth pursuing a nuclear programme any longer.

Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad defends his country's nuclear programme

 

"To me, it's worth the effort to keep the pressure on this government," he added.

"And secondly, it's important for the Iranian people to know we harbour no resentment to them. We're disappointed in the Iranian government's actions, as should they be.

"The pressure's way too high, isolation is causing economic pain, this is a country that's got a much better future. People have got better hope inside Iran than this current government is providing them.

"It's a complex issue but my intent is to continue to rally the world to send a focused signal to the Iranian government that we will continue to work to isolate you in the hope that at some point in time somebody else shows up and says it's not worth the isolation."

Mr Bush was speaking as Russian president Vladimir Putin arrived in Tehran – the first Kremlin leader to visit the capital in more than six decades.

Mr Putin's visit is widely regarded as an attempt to strengthen efforts to blunt US economic and military ties in the area.

Last week, the president issued a thinly-veiled warning against any attack on Iran, claiming he had seen no "objective data" that would indicate Tehran was trying to build nuclear weapons.

But he has refused publicly to support Iran's defiance over its nuclear programme.

OH BOY!!:uhoh2:. Great way to start the morning, reading about dumb and dumber--hell that man scares me--must we all march to his tune? What the heck is going to happen--you never know with all the "loose cannons" in power. Let's hope cooler heads prevail. Ya think??

I think we know if there is anyone going to be starting a war it's the war criminals in Washington DC.

If they want Iran seem to cause a war they will just set them up for something or provoke something to get backing from the right people.....

since this summer i think that all politicians are liars so... (at lets they hide part of the true, and that for me is to lie the people)

 

it's clear, a war will start soon, in fact may be it has started already and we don't know it... i think that there are more things that govern us than just the politicians, people that we don't vote, elect, we don't know openly who they are and what do they do... :thinking: (bank, comerce, business...).

 

don't know who will start it, but it will happen soon, that's sad but true. :(

Absolutely. Most of the world leaders aren't anywhere near the top.

Top members of the CFR in the US is one place to start.

but back to my first post, politicians are liars, don't you think so?

 

Yeah, I know that's what you meant, but I don't like all this talk of war. It's worrying.

 

@ Dave: January 2009 is when the next President will be sworn in (I think).

 

It's usually January.

So still a full year and a bit of Bush's idiotic stuff :(

 

I have an idea...

^ what idea? :rolleyes:

I told you guys before, there is no war between USA and Iran the both just allies from the begining. All what you see just a silly show.

That's actually a strong possibility.

 

Many Iranian people are pro-USA....I bet most people didn't know that.....at least from the media we are subjected too.

Iran's nuclear negotiator resigns

Iran's chief negotiator with the West over Tehran's nuclear programme, Ali Larijani, has resigned.

 

A government spokesman said Mr Larijani had repeatedly offered his resignation and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had finally accepted it.

 

Mr Larijani had differences with the president over how to proceed with the negotiations, correspondents say.

 

Western countries suspect Iran of trying to build nuclear weapons but Tehran says its programme is peaceful.

 

The spokesman, Gholam Hossein Elham, said a deputy foreign minister, Saeed Jalili, would replace Mr Larijani in time for a meeting on Tuesday with the European Union's foreign policy head Javier Solana.

 

Russian proposals?

 

The BBC's Jon Leyne, in Tehran, says Mr Larijani has had differences with President Ahmadinejad over how to proceed with negotiations over the country's nuclear programme.

 

Mr Larijani has favoured further negotiations with the West over Iran's uranium enrichment programme, as opposed to the president's more hard-line approach, our correspondent says.

 

The resignation comes just days after Russian President Vladimir Putin visited Tehran and expressed qualified support for Iran's right to a peaceful nuclear programme.

 

Some Iranian media reported that Mr Putin had offered new compromise proposals over the stand-off with some Western countries.

 

Media close to President Ahmadinejad, however, have denied that the Russian president made new proposals.

 

The resignation is a sign, says our correspondent, that Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has thrown his weight behind President Ahmadinejad and his hard-line approach on the nuclear issue.

 

Although Mr Larijani is a conservative who was appointed by Mr Ahmadinejad to be Tehran's point man on the nuclear issue, his successor is known to be a close ally of the president.

 

The UN Security Council is waiting for reports from the EU's Mr Solana and from the UN's nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, before deciding on a third round of tougher sanctions against Iran.

 

Iran is developing the technology to enrich uranium on an industrial scale. The enriched uranium can be used as fuel in a nuclear power station.

 

Some Western countries, led by the US, fear Iran will further process the enriched uranium for use in nuclear weapons.

 

Iran says it has the right under the international Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to develop nuclear power.

 

The IAEA says there are outstanding questions about Iran's nuclear activities but that it has recently reached agreement with Tehran on a "work plan" to resolve those issues.
