Both McCain, Obama exaggerating Iran's nuclear program

No surprise here. We know McCain will say anything and embrace any position to get his hands on the football. And Obama, the purported "peace" candidate, wants to be the Chief Executive of the welfare-warfare state for his own reasons. He's smart enough to grasp that his job is to prop up the military-industrial-congressional money and power machine. So, if people aren't supporting one war, you have to frighten them into supporting another:

The presumptive Republican nominee for president and the leading contender for the Democratic nomination are exaggerating what's known about Iran's nuclear program as they duel over how best to deal with Tehran.

Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Barack Obama, D-Ill., say that Iran is developing nuclear weapons.

The U.S. intelligence community, however, thinks that Iran halted an effort to build a nuclear warhead in mid-2003, and the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency, which is investigating the program, has found no evidence to date of an active Iranian nuclear-weapons project.

The candidate who can do the best job of fooling the public into paying for another round of subsidies to the war machine gets the nod.

I love democracy.
