LEESBURG, Virginia (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney on Sunday described Iran as an obstacle to peace in the Middle East and said the world could not stand by and allow it to develop a nuclear weapon. Cheney's comments underscored a ratcheting up of U.S. rhetoric toward Tehran and came just days after President George W. Bush warned that a nuclear-armed Iran could lead to World War Three.
"The Iranian regime needs to know that if it stays on its present course, the international community is prepared to impose serious consequences," Cheney told a forum organized by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. "The United States joins other nations in sending a clear message: We will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon."
Does this seem like the same old thing all over again leading up to the invasion of Iraq? They can't possibly be serious about going and making the same mistakes all over again. The only difference between this and Iraq is that the international community is not buying it this time
We...we lol, Bush and Cheney have already managed to deteriorate the positive relations built up by Reagan, Bush Sr. and Clinton with Russia and they are working on China's nerves and have even managed to piss off Turkey as well.
I honestly can't believe they are considering military action. They are working with a depleted military and absolutely no support from US citizens, congress or the senate. It would be a mistake of huge proportions to do this again. The scariest thing is, that Iran may be stronger than Iraq and may have more allies to back them up. It really could be WWIII if Bush and Cheney are stupid enough.
I think they are. Lets hope not.
I think the American aggressor slant is interesting. The Iranians have the American’s back against the wall here, and Iraq has shown how vulnerable the US is without the backing of the rest of the world. The boys may have their chests out looking like they are in control, but I’m sure they aren’t wearing white underwear right now. This will be a very interesting diplomatic dance over the next few months.
Mike – The US army doesn’t need soldiers to nuke Iran. Cheney is only trying to scare Iran into co-operating. While it didn’t work with Iraq, Iran saw what the US was willing to do with a rouge nation.
My point is that Cheney and idiot boy are crazy enough and stupid enough to press the button. Thats what Im afraid of.
