Et tu, Iran?
They're back. The Bush administration is again at odds with reputable agencies over whether another country is engaged in a buildup for mass warfare. Officials of the United Nations' International Atomic Energy Agency hotly contested parts of a recently released White House report on Iran's nuclear capabilities.
The international agency did the same thing in 2002, saying that Bush's claims of a WMD buildup in Iraq were false. Hmm.
US intelligence agencies published material also disagrees with the White House report, in principle agreeing with the IAEA.
No matter, in the world of perception, he who stands on the biggest soapbox yells the loudest and if all fails, can spit on the crowd. There is no soapbox bigger than the one at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
