Bush to Iran ...

The lyin’ in Winter"I want to know all about everything you're not doing!"

Yes, the Liar in Chief is at it again. The Washington Post reports:

President Bush called on Iran to "come clean" about the scope of its nuclear activities Wednesday, as the White House made it clear there will be no change in its policy toward Tehran despite new intelligence questioning his claims about the country's nuclear ambitions.

Traveling here for a political fundraiser, Bush indicated that he still sees Iran as a serious threat. He demanded that its leaders fully disclose details of its nuclear weapons program, which the intelligence community said Monday was shut down in the fall of 2003.

"The Iranians have a strategic choice to make," Bush told reporters. "They can come clean with the international community about the scope of their nuclear activities and fully accept" the U.S. offer to negotiate if they suspend their nuclear enrichment program -- "or they can continue on a path of isolation."

"The choice is up to the Iranian regime," the president said.

Speaking of isolation ... that one brain cell the president possesses must be getting pretty lonely.

The White House remained anxious to contain the fallout from this week's new intelligence report, which contradicts recent statements by Bush and Vice President Cheney that Iran intends to try to acquire a nuclear weapon. U.S. analysts judged that Iran is continuing to develop technologies that could be used for a bomb, but they believe with "moderate confidence" that, as of the middle of this year, Tehran had not restarted the nuclear weapons program.

The disclosure took U.S. allies by surprise and has complicated the U.S. drive to win a third round of sanctions against Iran. Wednesday's comments from Bush, Rice and other officials appeared aimed at reassuring these allies, as well as providing cover for Republicans who have strongly backed the president's campaign to increase the pressure on Iran -- and may now be exposed politically.

Let's hope they are ALL "exposed politically" ... and that they all get their collective butt's kicked next November!
