"I would do anything for Freedom, but I won't do that..."

...but then again, maybe I will.

Speaking of attacking Iran...the President did his best to ease concerns about US intentions.

BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) -- U.S. President George W. Bush said Tuesday that it is "simply ridiculous" to assume that the United States has plans to attack Iran over its alleged nuclear weapons program after discussing the issue with European allies.

"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, essentially, what the President has said is that it's not ridiculous to assume the US plans to attack Iran, since that would be an option. Maybe not the best option, but an option. And he clearly stated that "all options are on the table."

I think he went on to explain that it would be ridiculous to say he was going to eat lunch, but having said that, he was keeping his lunch options open.
