Little Big man uses a big word

From Cnn.com

"This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous. Having said that, all options are on the table," Bush said.

So. We won't sit down sovereign nation to sovereign nation and talk about why we think they should not have nukes? Because in the Bush Whitehouse talking is boring Diplomacy is for pussies.

The assurance to Iran's leaders was Bush's bluntest assessment yet. Last week, he used a series of pre-trip interviews with European journalists to minimize talk of any military attack by the United States.

Ridiculous.

It's in our interests for them not to have a nuclear weapon," Bush said in a news conference with European Union leaders.

Why? Other nations have them, we have them, North Korea has them, all the really cool kids have them. Iran is stable, they go to the wrong church, but they're stable and they control Iraq now. I think it would be in our best interest and the best interest of our troops to be a little less cavalier towards the Iranians.

The United States has refused to get involved in the bargaining with Tehran or to make commitments toward incentives, insisting that Tehran abandon its program.

They should abandon their program because why? Oh, because we're such good friends? because the owe us one? because they are afraid of us? We can't treat them like grown ups because?

We aren't going to talk to them about it, and attacking them is "ridiculous" but all options remain on the table? You can tell when Bush is lying because his lips are moving. You won't talk to them about it, so "diplomacy" is off the table, what's left on the table? Bombing. Bombing is on the table, bombing by this summer.

The draft is going to be ridiculous.
