Rice Urges 'Wait and See' Approach to Iranian Nukes by Scott Ott (2004-11-18) -- Secretary of State nominee Condoleezza Rice today urged a "wait and see approach" in the wake of news that Iran may be secretly continuing its uranium enrichment program and developing missiles to carry nuclear warheads. "They're probably not going to use these nuclear weapons that we're not absolutely sure they're developing anyway," said Miss Rice, who is still the National Security Advisor and the president's exercise buddy. "If they do use the nuclear weapons there's a fair chance that it won't be against us, our allies or our troops overseas. It's a big world and there are lots of other places they could bomb." Miss Rice reminded reporters that America's number one foreign policy consideration at all times is multilateral cooperation. "Let's wait and see what our allies in thoroughly-modern Europe do," she said.
