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.
unf***ing believable.

Vote for me.
Is this becoming a Bush trait? Pandering to the scum of the earth, which includes our Dims??
And He just let their terrorist president in the US
They (Rueters) are paraphrasing Bush...I dont think he said what they said, he said...(say that ten times fast.)
Ok Pres. and when Iran blows the *ell out of your ranch, lets see what you say then.....
(shaking head)
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.

Like it or not, it is reality.
Somebody look for a giant pod in the White House. I think the president's been replaced by an alien.

Nukes for ayatollahs...
Takes blame for corrupt New Orleans politicos...
Can somebody return the REAL President Bush to the White House please?
Translation: I so much as see one nuke in that sandbox of yours, kiss your mullahcracy bye-bye.

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