Biden: Bush either not truthful or incompetent on Iran

Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Joseph Biden (Del.) Tuesday asserted that President Bush is not leveling with the country when he says that he did not know in mid-October that U.S. intelligence services believed at that time that Iran had halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003.

�Are you telling me a president who is briefed every single morning, who is fixated on Iran, is not told back in August that the tentative conclusion of 16 intelligence agencies in the United States government said they had abandoned their effort for a nuclear weapon in �03?� Biden said in a conference call with reporters.

�That�s not believable,� Biden added. �I refuse to believe that. If that�s true, he has the most incompetent staff in � modern American history and he�s one of the most incompetent presidents in modern American history.�

Bush told reporters earlier Tuesday that he was made aware only last week of a National Intelligence Estimate that described the stop to the Iranian nuclear program.

�I love presidents who parse words,� Biden said in response. �The NIE didn�t get written until a week ago.�

The Delaware Democrat, who argued that the administration is again misleading the country, charged that Bush must have known about the suspicion of the intelligence services when he made his famous remarks that tied the possibility of World War III to Iran�s possession of nuclear weapons.

3. "Either"?

Though to be fair, it's an appropriate statement. I doubt that Bush knows enough to actually LIE, as opposed to just repeating the lines his spinners give him.

9. You're giving him WAY too much credit, and he doesn't deserve ANY.

He's been a liar for YEARS.

7. What he hell is Bushit problem

Does he love just blowing people up or what really? No nukes in Iraq No nukes in Iran whats the problem. We need to remove Bush from office in a white suit and put his ass in a padded room. Biden knows Bush is idiot and its like the movie Beverly hill cop with Eddy Murphy ("Look, man, I ain't fallin' for no banana in my tailpipe!" ) They fell for the Bushit about Iraq we are not falling for it about Iran.
