McClellan: Bush's Iran rhetoric serious


Press TV

"Former White House spokesman Scott McClellan says the Bush administration's war rhetoric against Iran should be taken 'very seriously'.

In a Friday interview with MSNBC, McClellan said the Bush administration intends to wage war on Iran by applying the same 'permanent campaign' which manipulated the 'public opinion to the president's advantage' and led to Iraq's invasion.

"They are still in this permanent campaign mode. They haven't backed away from that. … I think that you would need to take [the administration's] comments [on Iran] very seriously and be skeptical," he said.

Washington's longstanding attempts to demonize Iran are aimed at preparing the World for another war in the already volatile Middle East.

The hawkish US rhetoric and recent military build-up in the Persian Gulf is reminiscent of the preparations for other US wars, including the 2003 invasion of Iraq."
