Ahmadinejad: Putin said nothing on Nuclear issue – China View

In a surprisingly jingoistic use (or abuse) of the English language, George Bush has threatened the world with War, if Iran does not give up its nuclear programme – a programme which does not exist.

Speaking hours after Putin had met with Ahmadinejad, the wily Texan said,”So I’ve told people that, if you’re interested in avoiding World War Three, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them from having the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon.”

For a head of state to make such a loose and fast reference to a potential catastrophe is nothing less than depraved. Having dodged service himself during the Vietnam war, Bush is the last person to be speculating on a third world war.

Then again, in the world of international Texas hold ‘em politics, weak is strong, and as this blogger has contended, Bush is showing strong because he is holding a very weak hand.
