Rice renews threat to take Iran nuclear row to UN

[maddezmom]

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The United States renewed its warning to Iran that it could face possible UN action if it refused to negotiate a halt to its suspected nuclear weapons program.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice expressed Washington's continued support for efforts by Britain, France and Germany to wean Tehran off any nuclear arms ambitions with security and economic incentives.

"There are legs still to this diplomatic process that they're involved in and we're trying to support the EU-3," Rice said in an interview with Fox News.

"But everybody has said -- all of us united, including the EU-3 -- that if the Iranians decide that they won't take this way out, that the international community has other options like the (UN) Security Council."

1. Deja Vu

[TheFarseer]

2. "Disarm or we will disarm you" can't be far behind

maybe even tonight.

[prodigal_green]

3. If we invade Iran, than we can definitely say

the United States is in the last throes of empire.

[uppityperson]

17. "last throes" can be violent throes, according to rummy

[Just Me]

4. Who wants to wager Bush will include this next step in the PNAC plan,...

,...in his speech tonight. Is this the beginning of the next round of war propaganda? I'd guess, yep!

[caledesi]

5. We've "seen this part of the show" before. nt

[Canuckistanian]

6. What's with Bolton, then?

Do they want to use the UN as a convenient tool or destroy it by turning Bolton loose on it??

[JuniperLea]

7. how long before the UN feels used and abused

and kicks our sorry asses out?

[Oversea Visitor]

8. Yawn Russia will veto

They already got 6 more contract to build more nuclear plants hey

[malachi]

10. Great. So if the BFEE attacks Iran, I guess that it follows that the

Russians wil find a way to covertly support the Iranians. The end of the American Empire is dead ahead.

[Oversea Visitor]

13. Ouch

You know how many countries has sign oil deal with Iran.
They got big bad missile very high tech all brand new from Russia
Around the World many countries watching. Iran not backing down Iran got support. Up to US hey. Nose sure get bloody.

[habitual]

14. agreed, UN won't be the same TOOL this time.

Russia is sure to stop any BS we try on Iran this time...

[Oversea Visitor]

15. No sir

Lots of countries now building nuclear reactor all frighten of big bad bully dont like get bomb silly from air and can do nothing.
Saw all this happening in Iraq and Afgan scare shit out of everyone.

[Tempest]

16. Does China have veto power in the Security Council?

If so, they too would veto any action.

Iran using nuclear power means more oil for China, Iran also have contracts to sell oil them.

[Oversea Visitor]

19. yeah I think they do

heh heh Look got nuke heh heh

[Ganja Ninja]

9. Considering the lies our last Secretary of State told ...

about Iraq and what we've done to that country who would listen? And who would blame Iran for trying to find every available means of defending themselves?

[Solly Mack]

11. Been there, still doing that...got the rising death count to show for it

I truly dislike that woman and everything she represents and supports.

[Spazito]

12. LOL at Condi

She lives in the same delusional world the rest of the bush cabal does. They couldn't get a UN resolution to attack Iraq, they failed to get their way at the recent gathering of Central American countries, and it goes on. The bush cabal have NO 'capital' left to use on the world stage no matter how they may posture, bluster and try to bully.

[bemildred]

18. These empty threats are just embarrasing to watch. nt

[Supersedeas]

20. other options

[teryang]

21. I can't wait for the first American blunder in Iran

This will truly be the making of a new world that has been falsely touted since 911. Aggression against Iran will forge new strategic alignments internationally. They will have a choice, appeasement or fight back. It will be the beginning of the end for the cable of warmongering fascists that took over our government during the 2000 election.
