Bush says Iran a 'real threat'

Here we go again. I thought Syria was supposed to be next?

From Reuters:

U.S. President George W. Bush on Wednesday called Iran a "real threat" and lashed out at President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad over the country's nuclear program and calls for the destruction of Israel.

"Iran's a real threat," Bush told Fox News in an interview in which he repeated his charge that Iran was part of an "axis of evil" along with North Korea and prewar Iraq. "I called it part of the 'axis of evil' for a reason," Bush said.

"I'm concerned about a theocracy that has got little transparency, a country whose president has declared the destruction of Israel as part of their foreign policy, and a country that will not listen to the demands of the free world to get rid of its ambitions to have a nuclear weapon," Bush said in the interview.

I'm concerned about a White House Administration that has little transparancy, lies to it's own people, and won't listen to the demands of the free world to not invade a country without actual evidence.

Washington accuses Tehran of seeking nuclear weapons. Iran says its nuclear program is only for generating electricity.

In dealing with Iran, Bush said he continued "to work the diplomatic front," but that his objective was to "end tyranny."

Why is he wanting to work on a "diplomatic front" with Iran when he refused to do that with Iraq? There's a double standard in play here.
