[DistressedAmerican]

Of course it is not! It won't come up on any planning agenda until well after the invasion!

LONDON, England (CNN) -- U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Friday that an attack on Iran over its nuclear program is "not on the agenda at this point."

"We have many diplomatic tools still at our disposal and we intend to pursue them fully," Rice told a news conference after a meeting with British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw.

"The question is simply not on the agenda at this point," said Rice, in reply to a question after having listed U.S. criticisms of Iranian policy.

1. They need to sanction Iran first.

Need it nicely soften up before moving in. So first they need political capital in the UN. So need a lot of kiss kiss make up.

2. What bothers me a lot about

SOS Rice is that she always has that tremor in her voice as if she's lying. Always.

There used to be voice analysis out there which looked at stress markers in speech. I've long wondered why no one has used that technology to get a sense of whether or not the administration's officials are lying.

3. Because it's not needed

4. "Diplomatic Tools" ?

bush thinks "diplomacy" is some piece of paper he got after drinking his way through Yale.. He know's, he's got a couple somewhere from some College or other, Daddy made sure he got them.

"Laura, where's those Diplomacies at"? "I gottem' fair and square from some college I went to, there weren't no favoragitimacy goin' on neither". "Yep, Diplomacies, I gotta find those rascals, maybe I left 'em at the ranch".

10. Diplomacy is more akin to a historical document to Condaliar

5. Three words that really bother me: "at this point"

To quote Scarlett OHara, "Tomorrow is another day." Well, fiddle-de-de, Condi, at what "point" will Iran be on the agenda? Love how you're keeping your options wide-open!

6. Looks like she's off to a good start

I can't wait for her first major faux pas.

8. That means Iran is in the crosshairs... this is like...

This is like when the sports team owner gives his coach the dreaded "Vote of Confidence". That is generally the kiss of death for the coach within a few weeks.
