We depose Saddam in the spring of 2003. Bush indicates to Iran's leadership that they need to clean up their act. They halt their weapons program in the fall of 2003, but continue obstructing IAEA inspections. Finally, after several years, it comes to light through several different sources that the development program is stopped.
How is this not a validation of Bush's efforts to put pressure on Iran to cease its nuclear weapons development? How is this not a triumph for his policies?

I didn't look at it like that, I guess his policies did work.... but don't tell the left they'll keep denying it.
As for Bush saying Iran will cause World War III as someone pointed out above. Churchill said the same about Hitler before World War II and people wrote him off as a rash, drunk, hate and war monger.....

Bush is still lying about Iran in spite of the NIE. He's doing all he can to get the US in another unjustified war. He should be impeached.

This despite other intelligence that they were still making weapons. Who believes this one over the last report? Flip the coin to see which one we believe this week!

Because he has been saying for the last four years that we need to bomb Iran before they cause WW3, when they did not even have a nuclear program.
