And he said Iran does not want nuclear weapons. He said the world has enough nukes why make more.
Of coarse he said that Iran does not have Gay people with a smile on his face.
So if anybody has a transcript that can prove this is not a myth I would appreciate it. Since we are thinking of bombing them I would really like to know.

Name one Evangelical that admits that there are any gays in America.
They all argue that what most people call gays are really sinners chosing to live a sinful gay lifestyle.

Haggard's quick conversion draws skepticism from conservative Christians
Reports that disgraced U.S. evangelical leader Ted Haggard, felled last year in a gay sex scandal, had gone "straight" with the aid of therapy may not have surprised conservative Christians who argue that sexual orientation is a choice. But what did surprise some who also "made the switch" but took years to do so was the speed of the declared transformation: three weeks.
In the eyes of many conservative U.S. Christians, homosexuality is a sinful lifestyle choice that can be reversed through prayer and counsel. Gay activists say they don't choose their sexual orientation and there is nothing sinful about it.
"The entire underpinning of America's antigay industry is that homosexuality is a choice and they can never move off of that position because if they do, everything crumbles around them," said Matt Foreman, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. "Haggard's people have to say it is a slip because to say otherwise is to admit that God creates gay people."

So, if Bush were asked about gays, if he were answering to only his conservative Christian audience, he would say "no gays," too.
