Joe Biden Responds To Latest Set Of Facts On Bush And Iran Intelligence
Last night, the White House said that President Bush was told in August by Director of National Intelligence John McConnell that Iran's nuclear weapons program "may be suspended.”

As CNN noted, the new account from White House Press Secretary Dana Perino “seems to contradict the president’s version of his August conversation with McConnell and raised new questions about why Bush continued to warn the American public about a threat from Iran two months after being told a new assessment was in the works.”

Despite these revelations, Perino appeared last night on Fox News’ “O’Reilly Factor” to dismiss Sen. Biden’s criticisms of this ongoing scandal and even said that “what I'd say to Senator Biden is ‘welcome to the real world.’”

Sen. Biden issued the following statement:

“With each new day comes a new explanation of what should be simple facts. If the President was told that the Iranian nuclear program ‘may be suspended,’ he had no business going in front of the American people invoking a ‘nuclear holocaust’ and ‘World War III’ while reiterating his belief that Iran wants to build a nuclear weapon.

“The President needs to tell us what he knew and when he knew it, and then explain how that was consistent with ratcheting up the rhetoric on Iran. The American people deserve real leadership, not self-defeating statements that undermine our credibility, escalate tensions and make America less, not more, secure.”

Dana Perino telling Senator Biden "welcome to the real world" is priceless!

6. It couldn't be any simpler -- as Biden points out:
“With each new day comes a new explanation of what should be simple facts.

Simple facts. Unfortunately, impossible to get from this administration. Go get 'em, Joe -- and I hope others are rallying, too!

7. "Hey look! Joe's taking on Bush. Maybe its okay to tell
the truth now."

Maybe some in congress will only grow a spine when a leader shows the way.
