Iranian nukes: the big lie gets bigger
George Bush, being interviewed on 60 Minutes, "doubled down" on the big lie about Iran, which seems to be becoming a daily occurrence. Describing what he would say to Iranian President Ahmadinejad, he would say, among other things:
"You've threatened countries with nuclear weapons. You've said you want a nuclear weapon."So now we've gone from just wanting a nuclear weapon to actually threatening other countries with them. Once more with feeling -- not only hasn't Iran (unlike the U.S.) threatened other countries with nuclear weapons, and not only hasn't it said it "wants" a nuclear weapon, it has said precisely the opposite.
And, once again, the interviewer made not the slightest effort to contradict these blatant lies by Bush.
