Rice Pushes Security Council on Iran

By ANNE GEARAN, AP Diplomatic Writer 2 hours, 13 minutes ago

Rice made her remarks four days before the expiration of a United Nations deadline for Iran to stop uranium enrichment. That process can produce fuel for nuclear energy or material for nuclear weapons.

"When the international community reconvenes after the 30 days, there has to be some message, clear message, that this kind of behavior is not acceptable, or you will start to call into question the credibility of what the Security Council says when it says it," Rice said while flying to diplomatic visits to Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria.

Though the United States has said it prefers decisive steps, Security Council members Russia and China have opposed forceful sanctions. As permanent members of the council, either of those countries could veto any proposals.

U.S. Ambassador John Bolton said that "assuming no change of direction by Iran — and there's no reason to think there will be a change in direction" — the United States will prepare a Security Council resolution under Chapter VII of the U.N. Charter, which is militarily enforceable, to make all IAEA resolutions mandatory.

Bolton wants war

1. Go to the California forum, seach "Commonwealth Club"
Or Medea Benjamin", the post was about Rice's speach about this time last year. Because she can only speak in controlled environments, the Commonwealth Club needed to rent Davies Hall.

In that post I made a list of the Commonwealth Club directors, all blue bloods, to be sure.

2. I think U.S. rhetoric is falling on deaf ears at the U.N. ...
Condiliar and that Psycho with the Silly Moustache have got credibility problems, methinks.

3. Funny that the Bushbots think anyone takes them seriously...
anymore. If they weren't so dangerous, they'd be laughable.

4. Invading a sovereign country illegally obviously proves
that the Bush Administration is the group that lacks the credibility, not the Security Council

5. They might be able to run the price up to $110. After that, there's
Venezuela and maybe even Brazil. Damn what scam. By the time they get through threatening three or four oil selling Countries,the price might be up to $160. Bush is their best friend. Chavez ought to realize how important Bush is to the Venezuelan oil business. If relationships with Iran and Venezuela were great, the price of oil would be down around $45 per barrel.
