TEHRAN (Reuters) - President Bush refused on Tuesday to rule out nuclear strikes against Iran if diplomacy fails to curb the Islamic Republic's atomic ambitions.

Iran, which says its nuclear program is purely peaceful, told world powers it would pursue atomic technology, whatever they decide at a meeting in Moscow later in the day.

Bush said in Washington he would discuss Iran's nuclear activities with China's President Hu Jintao this week and avoided ruling out nuclear retaliation if diplomatic efforts fail.

Asked if options included planning for a nuclear strike, Bush replied: "All options are on the table. We want to solve this issue diplomatically and we're working hard to do so."

When does the military send that letter to the Propagandist demanding nukes be taken off the table or they resign?

3. "when

does the military send that letter to the Propagandist demanding nukes be taken off the table or they resign?"

I wouldn't hold my breathe, if I were you. But why are you surprised? Doesn't this just confirm our opinion of Bush?

6. He has his crisis

Well now, that didn't take long. Too bad he's going to loose this one. I'm just hoping the people within the government who know what's at stake can get past his defenses in time.

Anyone want a beer? :beer:

over the edge.

7. I Guess He "Decider-ed" he likes to appear threateningly...

dangerous and insane.

[Roland99]

11. Well, he's in favor of dictatorships as long as he's the dictator.

[neoblues]

20. Well he's close...

While approaching the behavior of a dicktator, he's certainly achieved the status of head dick (or chief dick.head).

[Callalily]

9. Does B#$h actually know

what he's demanding? Can he even comprehend the impact of such a threat? He clearly is deranged.

[Roland99]

10. And the consequences are going to be horrendous

[Shakespeare]

12. It's deja vu, all over again....

"all options are on the table."

Aren't those the exact words he used in the buildup to the Iraq war?

The room started spinning and I felt physically ill when I read that story this morning. We are going to nuke Iraq.

Does everybody not get this?

We are going to nuke another country that has made no threat to us, that POSES no threat to us.

Our country is lost.

16. Does anyone believe Bush will televise Iran Nuke countdown?

I believe it will fall in the catagory of "yesterdays" news"

[Roland99]

18. The US never has

No US president, including Carter and Clinton has ever limited their military options publicly. That does not mean that they are not off the table internally.

[Roland99]

19. Well, when senior members of the military are willing to RESIGN over this

that tells me something.
