A "tremendous" coalition of countries remains united in its stance against nuclear weapon development in Iran, a situation sparking increasing international concern, said the U.S.'s senior diplomat Sunday.

"The Iranians now need step back, look at where they are, see that they're isolated on this issue, and return to a state in which they go back and seal the activities that they have begun, and get back into negotiations with those who are prepared to offer them a course for civil nuclear power," Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on ABC's "This Week."

5. Right on schedule. Every freaking day there's a new scaaaary Iran....

story for the sheep. Baaaahh......

Sometimes the sheep get a weekend reprieve, but come Monday it's back to scaaaaaare.

I remember a few years ago when Iraq stories were a daily occurrence.

Maybe Saipan or the Maldaves can spare a few troops.

6. Do you have a feeling we're being kept in the dark

It's not like Iraq where they tooted their horn every day about kicking Saddam's butt.
My hunch is they are not intending on telling "we the people" anything... until it's over.

8. */Rice comment on AQ Khan (gave Iran centrifuges) made in 2004

Rice was asked on CNN to clarify President George W Bush’s statement during his debate late Thursday with Senator John Kerry that “the AQ Khan network has been brought to justice.”

Rice said Bush did not misspeak when he said that the network of Pakistan’s A.Q. Khan — the founder of Pakistan’s nuclear program who was caught selling secrets on the global black market — had been “brought to justice.”

Khan is living in a villa and was pardoned this year by Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf. None of Khan’s co-conspirators have been brought to trial.

Asked how that could be interpreted to mean Khan has been brought to justice, Rice said, “He has been brought to justice because he’s out of business.”


The US/CIA/Dutch have known about his dealings since the late '80's..and the recipients of his nuclear knowledge.

Lately I have been thinking about that 80s movie "War Games". The giant floppy disks. The computer named WOPR. The game Global Thermonuclear War.
