This is sounding more and more like the build up to the war in Iraq. Hopefully war with Iran can be avoided though.BRUSSELS, Belgium (CNN) -- U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Wednesday that Iran must live up to its international obligations to halt its nuclear program or "the next steps are in the offing."
"And I think everybody understands what the 'next steps' mean," Rice told reporters after a meeting with NATO foreign ministers and European Union officials.
"the next steps are in the offing."

It's on the table, I don't care what Condi and the White House are saying. I think Iran has been the big one all along.

she's the worst human being ever. I want to kick her so badly.fartbag wrote:"The message is there, the Iranians need to get that message, and we can certainly always remind them that there are other steps that the international community has at its disposal should they not be prepared to live up to these obligations," the secretary of state said.

war of any sort will not be avoided by the US. dick cheney has already stated that wartime will not end within our lifetimes. if not iran, somewhere else then. it will not stop.

Iran actually has WMDs, though... which makes attacking them much more of a gamble than than Iraq.
Re: "the next steps are in the offing."

Awesome. Now we are caught short in the face of ACTUAL threats. Way to go, assholes.

well said.
Ya think they figured out Saddam Hussein got toppled because he didn't have Weapons of Mass Destruction? Ya think they realized that no amount of inspections and proof that there are no WMDs can hold back the U.S. once you are in the crosshairs? Maybe? Just maybe?
Now we should go back and hold hearings for everyone responsible for naming North Korea, (along with Iran, Libya, Syria and Iraq), as possible targets for a first strike with nuclear weapons in the Nuclear Posture Review. Invading Iraq as we did has killed all legitimate non-proliferation attempts. Who will ever sumbit to an inspection process again? Why won't every country, from dictators to democracies, at least considering arming themselves with the most terrible of weapons in order to stave off an invasion?
