Bush said Iran had indicated it is developing missiles with a range of 1,200 miles and thus able to strike U.S. allies in Europe.
He said U.S. intelligence had concluded that with continued foreign assistance, Iran could have an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of reaching the United States and all of Europe before 2015.
"We need to take it seriously now," Bush said. "Today we have no way to defend Europe against the emerging Iranian threat. And so we must deploy a missile defense system there that can."
Bush: Missile shield is meant to deter IranPushing just a little harder. Scaring just a little bit more. Fattening those MIC officers pockets just a little bit more. I am so glad that we have an administration that looks out for this country. One can tell that it is their number one priority!
I am glad to see, however, that this administration is quite efficient. They have addressed several issues with this one statement.
No, I will not be surprised when we attack Iran before Bush leaves office. It won't surprise me at all!
