In the absence of substantive evidence, much of the debate was conducted via public forums with a heavy persuasive element to the discourse. This book offers an in-depth consideration of the rhetoric surrounding Irans controversial nuclear programme. It takes an interdisciplinary approach, examining speeches, interviews, news reports, online message boards and newspaper layouts during the Bush Presidency (2000-2008). Engaging with visual grammar and narrative, the book looks at layouts from the Associated Press, The New York Times and The Washington Post, amongst others. The book points out, using rhetorical theory and discourse analysis, the conditions that lent credibility to the Bush administrations position by examining the arguments Bush and his political surrogates put forward, and the discourse strategies that influenced which ideas gained salience and which were downplayed. Political communication and Foucaults theory of governmentality are brought in to articulate the implications regarding the influence, importance and expansion of executive power. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Bush, George W.|q(George Walker),|d1946-|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no95049848 600 17 Bush, George W.|q(George Walker),|d1946-|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/363849 650 0 Weapons of mass destruction|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh96004190|xPress coverage|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99002408|zUnited States. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 0 Nuclear weapons|xPress coverage|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh90002805|zUnited States.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 0 Press and politics|zUnited States.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008109555 650 0 Rhetoric|xPolitical aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85113632|zUnited States.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 7 Weapons of mass destruction.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1173041 650 7 Press coverage.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1198921 650 7 Military policy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1021386 650 7 Nuclear weapons|xPress coverage.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1040991 650 7 Press and politics.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1075866 650 7 Rhetoric|xPolitical aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1096959 651 0 Iran|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79039880 |xMilitary policy|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh99002298|xPress coverage|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99002408|zUnited States.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095330-781 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 651 7 Iran.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204889 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aJones, Jason.|tAmerican rhetorical construction of the iranian nuclear threat.|d[S.l.] : Continuum, 2011|z1441105743|w(OCoLC)697599793 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=368508|zOnline eBook.
