Condoleezza Rice on Iran

Condi is bringing up Iran again, I’m sure to convince us all that we need another war.

“They should have felt like time is running out quite a long time ago,” she said in an elegant reception room near her private suite. “When you are having trouble getting banks to come in, getting investment, when export credits are going down from around the world, when you have inflation roaring, time is running out.”

The six-nation group – the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany - contends that Iran is building nuclear warheads under the guise of a civilian power program. Rice said the dictatorship will have to “make a tough decision” to avoid a further financial squeeze from the Security Council, which she believes is likely to act this fall.

“What is happening to Iran is that its isolation is costing them,” she said. “It’s having an effect. I think that’s one reason that you’re seeing them trying to give half-answers rather than simply saying no. But the fact is we won’t accept half-answers, either.”

You get that?  Sanctions are working; the Iranians are struggling now.  But we will still probably have to attack them!

I can’t wait until these clowns are out of office.
