Who THE $*%^ said anything about taking the pressure off Iran?!?!?
Oh that's right

NO ONE!

Rice said Tuesday it would be a "big mistake" to ease any diplomatic pressure on Iran despite the new U.S. findings.

"It doesn't mean you should take the pressure off," she said en route to Ethiopia to see African leaders. "It puts a premium on diplomatic efforts.

4. Yes they are in line
Anyone who leads with "The White House says..." needs to be fired. Get something close to a credible source.

I didn't post all the headlines (mostly repeats of the AP and Reuters) but the basic headline is that the pressure needs to be kept on which is, as you say, spun onto the Dems being weak.

The one they stopped four years ago? We are a nation of dunces. Rice is the spokesduncewoman.
