My Wife scared of these words:US keeps 'all options' open concerning Iran
The Story comes from Rawstory.com


Parts of the article
<<Article>>
US Vice President Dick Cheney vowed the United States would "do everything" it can to deprive Iran of nuclear weapons, and refused to rule out military action in a US television interview Friday.

"We haven't taken any options off the table," Cheney said in an interview with the US ABC News network from Australia, where he is traveling.

"A nuclear-armed Iran is not a very pleasant prospect for anybody to think about," Cheney said. "We need to continue to do everything we can to make sure they don't achieve that objective."

"We hope we can solve the problem diplomatically," Cheney told ABC Friday. President George W. Bush "has indicated he wants to do everything he can to resolve it diplomatically. That's why we're working with the (European Union) and going through the United Nations with sanctions.

"But the president has also made it clear that we haven't taken any options off the table," he said.

My wife also said she remembers that Missles where fired into Iraq on a Sunday while everyone was watching/or most people where watching football in this country.

Is her memory correct?

1. It sounds exactly like the runup to Iraq
Yes, I am scared too. I just hope the Dems we now have in Congress have SPINES.

Iran will be far worse than Iraq ever could be.

2. Who isn't? We have madmen in charge with no end in sight. Cheney
may not have full Pug support for his war-mongering against Iran, but he must have the most pull with Stump because he always wins in the end.
