Bush: Iran has right to civilian nuclear program
Reuters ^ | Tue Sep 13, 2005

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush on Tuesday said Iran had a right to a civilian nuclear program if it did not gain expertise or materials to build an atomic weapon.

The United States is concerned that Iran's nuclear program is aimed at producing weapons, and Bush said he would be "speaking candidly about Iran" with Chinese President Hu Jintao and Russian President Vladimir Putin, who are gathering in New York for the United Nations General Assembly.

"It is very important for the world to understand that Iran with a nuclear weapon will be incredibly destabilizing," Bush said at a news conference with Iraqi President Jalal Talabani. "And therefore we must work together to prevent them from having the wherewithal to develop a nuclear weapon."

Iran says it has every right to develop nuclear technology to generate electricity, while the United States and the European Union want the U.N. Security Council to take up Iran's case after it resumed uranium processing last month.

The United States last month explicitly accepted for the first time that Iran could develop civilian nuclear programs, backing an EU proposal to allow Tehran to pursue atomic power in exchange for giving up fuel work.

Iran, being a fascist Islamic state, has no "rights". There is only so much that we will tolerate.

I've noticed a trait myself.

It's a "trait" where people on this forum go off halfcocked about every single thing that Bush says, even when what he is stating is the OBVIOUS.

Oh but it is. This means the Iranians cut a deal on Iraq. It's good news! We'd never allow them to continue a weapons program, but giving them some rhetorical slack means there's been a deal cut. Sunnis in Iraq just shit their pants, if they haven't been doing that already after Shiites and Kurds agreed on a constitution that wasn't to their liking. Watch for more concessions from the Sunni's, and for the Jihadists to start hitting Sunni leadership, as they get more desperate.

Somebody look for a giant pod in the White House. I think the president's been replaced by an alien.

Read what the President said. He said he had no problems with a civilian nuclear program. It's called "Good cop, bad cop."

Good point. I am still too rowed up over Katrina - I was too angry to consider that!
