Setting the Stage for the Next Iraq?

At yesterday's news conference, while endorsing the plan for Russia to help Iran produce nuclear energy, President Bush said:

The Iranians have said, 'We want a weapon.'

Well they probably do but they have never said that publicly. In fact they constantly state that they only have peaceful purposes in mind. Is this just another misspeaking on Bush’s part, ignorance of the facts, or is he deliberately misleading the American public? Just remember the high percentages of people who believed that Iraq was behind 9/11 because that was continually reiterated by 2004 Republican Presidential campaigners.
