That's not even what it's about. Action may yet be necessary in Iran.
What it's about is Bush spouting ultimatums and absolutes. Preaching about the sanctity of freedom that we must protect no matter what, and that we must fight this war on terrorism, and that we have to protect ourselves from threat. But then turns around and sits back and watches in a case where Iran has admitted to having a nuclear program, is considered one of the biggest havens for terrorists, and is guilty of the same kinds of human rights violations as Iraq. And yet he doesn't feel the need to act. So all that says is all his blathering about those excuses in Iraq are a bunch of bull. He clearly doesn't believe a word of it, or else he'd be working on a plan right now to accelerate our departure from Iraq and move into Iran. But he's not.
So once again, all the talk about freeing the people of Iraq and protecting us from WMDs and hunting down the terrorist proves to be a smokescreen for whatever agenda he actually has. Bully for the Iraqi people that they are free, but their freedom has no real value to Bush other than as a pawn in whatever his scheme was.
