WASHINGTON (AP) - The president must keep open a military option in dealing with Iran and its nuclear program, Sen. John McCain said Sunday, calling recent Bush comments appropriate.

"For us to say that the Iranians can do whatever they want to do and we won't under any circumstances exercise a military option would be for them to have a license to do whatever they want to do," the Arizona Republican said on "Fox News Sunday." "So I think the president's comment that we won't take anything off the table was entirely appropriate."

Bush said on Israeli TV on Friday that "all options are on the table" regarding Iran, which rejected Thursday's resolution from the United Nations' nuclear agency urging it to halt the conversion of uranium into gas.

The U.S. government and others fear Iran's nuclear work is secretly designed to produce nuclear weapons. Iran's leaders deny that, saying it is only for the generation of electricity.

3. no ONE is saying "Iranians can do whatever they want to do", though...

they simply seem to be for pointing out their RIGHT, under signed international treaty, to develop and USE nuclear energy.

7. Seems McCain would rather be a Shrub than a former POW.

I suppose if I were him I'd hate myself too.

8. Part of SC Primary smear by the Bushies was that McCain

was a little off in the head from his POW experience. i thought that was a low blow at the time. Now, well, I don't know what the cause of his behavior is but he sure can be one
vacillating, spineless mime when he is in the mood. One day he is Mr. Everyman the next he is Goebbels translator. I tend to agree with the original smear. McCains solar panels are facing north.
