Rice: Fear of Israeli strike on Iran shows risk of nukes issue

Now this is about as close to an all-out threat as Rice has made. For Bush and his hideous cabal everything is falling into place for attack.

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, on a visit to the Middle East, said Sunday in an interview with Channel 10 that speculation about an Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear facilities underscored the risk of failing to persuade Tehran to halt uranium enrichment.

Rice said she believed there was still "plenty of room for diplomacy" in curbing an Iranian nuclear program that Western powers fear could lead to making bombs.

Asked for her view of an Israeli military operation in Iran should diplomacy fail, she replied: "Well, I think that even talk of such just shows how very serious it would be to have Iran continue its program unabated."

Damnit, I'm back to this subject.

Jesus H Christ in a hammock folks, a cold war is very much preferable to a hot one. 'Nough said.
