Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder on Bush Iran attack proposal

[Imagevision]

President Bush: all options -- including force -- "are on the table" regarding Iran.

German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder almost immediately responded, "...let's take the military option off the table. We have seen it doesn't work."

Bush's comments raised concerns in Europe, in part because it confirmed an article from the 3-13 London Times, which reported that the "inner cabinet of Ariel Sharon, the Israeli prime minister, gave 'initial authorisation' for an attack (on suspected Iranian nuclear sites) at a private meeting last month on his ranch"

The article described practice raids by elite commando units in rather specific detail. It noted that US officials said a strike could not be ruled out if the UN became deadlocked on the issue.

the Commies might actually make a good showing, and might wring something out of Merckel in the Tag with the stalwarts in the SPD
