Bush: Iran Is Source of Deadly Weapons: WASHINGTON - Challenged on the accuracy of U.S. intelligence, President Bush said Wednesday there is no doubt the Iranian government is providing armor-piercing weapons to kill American soldiers in Iraq. But he backed away from claims the top echelon of Iran's government was responsible. Bush, at a news conference, also said he would fight any attempt by the Democratic-controlled Congress to cut off money for the war. "They need to fund our troops and the need to make sure we have the flexibility necessary to get the job done," he said. The House is expected to vote Friday on a nonbinding resolution opposing Bush's decision to send 21,500 additional troops to Iraq. The meeting with reporters in the East Room was Bush's first news conference since Dec. 20 and the first since he announced the troop buildup in Iraq. The four-year-old war hangs heavily on his presidency, and Bush's approval rating in an Associated Press-Ipsos poll in February matched an all-time low of 32 percent. Iran was a dominant theme of reporters' questions because of conflicting statements about U.S. intelligence in Iran and recurring speculation that Bush is looking for an excuse to attack the Islamic republic, which is believed by Washington and its allies to be seeking nuclear weapons. Defending U.S. intelligence that has pinpointed Iran as a hostile arms supplier in Iraq, Bush said, "Does this mean you're trying to have a pretext for war? No. It means I'm trying to protect our troops." There have been mixed signals in the administration about Iran's involvement in supplying Shiite groups in Iraq with a particularly lethal type of roadside bombs known as explosively formed penetrators. Three senior U.S. military officials, at a weekend briefing in Baghdad, said the highest levels of the Iranian government had ordered the weapons smuggled into Iraq. They based their claim on the belief the weapons are moving into Iraq through the Iran's Revolutionary Guards elite Quds Force. But Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said later he was not ready to conclude that Iran's top leaders were behind the attacks. Some lawmakers also have questioned the administration's statements. Wading into the debate, Bush said the Quds Force was instrumental in supplying the weapons _ "we know that," he said _ and that the Quds Force was part of the Iranian government. "That's a known," he said. "What we don't know is whether or not the head leaders of Iran ordered the Quds Force to do what they did." Pressed again on the subject, Bush displayed some irritation and said, "Whether (Iranian President Mahmoud) Ahmadinejad ordered the Quds Force to do this, I don't think we know. But we do know that they're there and I intend to do something about it. And I've asked our commanders to do something about it. And we're going to protect our troops." Ahmadinejad has denied Iran was behind the attacks. Democrats on the Senate Armed Services Committee emerged from a classified briefing Wednesday saying they wanted more information about Iran. The committee chairman, Sen. Carl Levin, said it was unclear to him precisely what the administration knows about the Tehran government's ties to the weapons found in Iraq. "There seems to be some disarray," said Levin, D-Mich. He said he eventually hopes to see some declassified information on the subject. Bush came into the news conference after receiving a briefing from Baghdad by Gen. David Petraeus, the new commander of U.S. forces in Iraq. Bush said he talked with Petraeus about coordination between Iraqi and coalition forces, and that while it seemed to be good, more work was needed on developing an efficient command-and-control structure. Bush responded carefully when asked about Russian President Vladimir Putin's accusations Saturday that the United States was undermining global security and provoking a nuclear arms race. The depth of Putin's criticism surprised U.S. officials. Bush said Putin was "the same strong-willed person" he has known since 2001 and there is a "complicated relationship" between Washington and Moscow. AGENT : "WTF...?????" On other matters, Bush said: _The agreement announced Tuesday to shut down North Korea's nuclear program in exchange for fuel assistance was "a good first step." He said he strongly disagreed with former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton that it was a bad deal. AGENT: I agree with Bolton, this will pay the Koreans to pace ahead with nukes, plan ahead to aide others in fighting against America. I call it the Saddam Syndrome. He will not comment on the 2008 presidential race. "I will resist all temptation to become the pundit-in-chief." He will not comment on whether he authorized members of his administration to leak the identity of Valerie Plame, a one-time CIA officer whose husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson, criticized the administration's case for the Iraq war. Similarly, Bush refused to say whether he might pardon I. Lewis "Scooter Libby, the former aide to Vice President Dick Cheney. Libby is on trial on charges of lying and obstructing the investigation into the Plame's identity. NOW ON TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN AS WE LOOK INTO WHAT SEN.CLINTON SAID:  Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., leaves the Senate floor on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2007 Clinton Warns Bush About Action in Iran: WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton warned President Bush on Wednesday not to take any military action against Iran without getting congressional approval first. Agent: " Here we go folks....she only wants first of all the attention placed on HER while she acts like she knows something on the subject. We will all see that she is fully weak on defending this country at any cost..if GOD forbid she does get the Whitehouse....The first step in the ( FALL OF AMERICA)." Clinton said, "If the administration believes that any, any use of force against Iran is necessary, the president must come to Congress to seek that authority," Clinton said in a Senate speech. Agent: "This is her way to tell you rednecks that they do not plan to give him any votes to protect our men or our country if Iran decides to attack our Ships in the area or anywhere else as far as that matter's. Get this in your heads now, before it is too damn late:" Clinton, a member of the Armed Services Committee, voted in 2002 to give Bush the authority to use military force in Iraq _ a vote that has prompted some Democrats to demand that she repudiate. Since then, the New York senator has become an outspoken critic of Bush's handling of the war. She said the new Democratic Congress must not let him make similar mistakes in the increasingly tense relationship with Iran. Agent: " Let me make a bet here.....I bet that if the Democrats have their way, we will see a complete BACK DOWN from any type of strike that the terrorist will use on us or in the Mid-East, I also bet that Iran will get to build and use Nuclear weapons on the Democrats watch or while they are in power.....if and when this happens, the people of this country can not bitch, nor say one frigging word about WHY, HOW, LETS STRIKE BACK....for the hippie's of our Government has taken the flower's to the enemy, as Hillary will have them in her Master bedroom in Washington....as we all saw China's wild weekend party there on Billy's Jamboree." Clinton said, "It would be a mistake of historical proportion if the administration thought that the 2002 resolution authorizing force against Iraq was a blank check for the use of force against Iran without further congressional authorization," Clinton said. She also insisted the resolution authorizing force against those responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks did not allow for U.S. action now against Iran. Clinton, who has come under fire from anti-war Democrats, excoriated the previous Republican-controlled Congress for not questioning the administration over the past six years. "We continue to experience the consequences of unchecked presidential action," she said, later adding: "This president was allowed for too long to commit blunder after blunder under cover of darkness provided by an allied Republican Congress." Agent: "Could you just hear this IF she was in the Whitehouse...? Can you just imagine how she would be foaming at the mouth if anyone dared to say she had to much control, or she can not do this or that until she gets approval....from her very own congress....? You can take it to the bank folks, these words from anyone in the democratic side will ever be heard if she get the office....no body will tell her CRAP, or how to do her JOB.....she WILL do it her way or we hit the HighWay...!" Clinton spoke shortly after President Bush said he was certain the Iranian government is supplying deadly weapons used by fighters in Iraq against U.S. troops, even if he can't prove that the orders came from top Iranian leaders. "I'm going to do something about it," Bush pledged, displaying apparent irritation at being repeatedly asked about mixed administration signals on who was behind the weaponry. He said the United States is pursuing diplomatic solutions with Iran about its nuclear program and said he was not seeking a pretext for war. U.S. officials have said that Iran is behind attacks against troops in Iraq, an assertion denied by Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Agent: " Here is what I do know at the moment, IF Iran screws up, and does strike our men or interest in the area with missiles or Air power, that Bush can point to as a FIRST STRIKE of WAR...then we will find he needs not the Congress to allow him to strike Iran....he has th epower to War with anyone at anytime America is under attack, or another country makes war with the USA....so Congress knows this....they are trying to set the table so the terror countries will hold off till they control the White House, then they can RUN over the Mid-East, Strike Israel, and turn the area into a living hell hole....Billions will die....till the people of this country see that our country is FALLING.....then there will be a call across this land that we have never heard since 1700's.....The FALL of AMERICA or the FALL OF THE WORLD....!!! Take your pick....for its all coming very soon..!!!" IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS CLICK ON OUR FORUM BUTTOM AND LEAVE POST THANKS: >>>>> |
