US hints at military option against Iran!!!

[AGENDA21]

Speaking to the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations, Rice said the international community agreed Iran could not have a nuclear weapon and was mobilised to respond.

On Tuesday, George Bush, the US president, had refused to rule out nuclear strikes against Iran if diplomacy failed to curb the Islamic Republic's nuclear ambitions.

"In order to turn the Iranians back from what has been behavior that is contrary to all the wishes of the international community, we are prepared to use measures at our disposal - political, economic, others, to dissuade Iran," Rice said in reply to a question on Iran.

1. These people are Maniacs...

If they nuke anything in that area, it instantly contaminates all the oil coming out of that region not to mention that the radioactive fallout would CIRCUMVENT the globe, eventually affecting US, assuming there'd be anything left here but a smoking hole... But I suppose, since they don't believe in science, the oil will be magically incorruptible.:banghead:

3. When the fuck is someone going to say this?

"In order to turn America back from what has been behavior that is contrary to all the wishes of the international community, we are prepared to use measures at our disposal - political, economic, others, to dissuade America."

5. The international community does not seem to be gung ho on bombing.

I wouldn't exactly call them "mobilized" to respond. Strikes me that they're all saying, yes, okay, nukes would be a bad idea for Iran, so let's talk about it. If we attack unilaterally, however, they seem to be prepared to do nothing.
