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. "We need not leap to conclusions about Iran's intentions simply because it's an Islamic fundamentalist totalitarian state renowned for having held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days. Even if they build a nuclear missile and launch it at us or Israel, it's conceivable that it would fail to detonate would fall harmlessly into the sea."

Just this week France, Germany and Britain received a solemn promise from Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, Hassan Rowhani, that his nation would freeze uranium enrichment in exchange for benefits yet to be negotiated.

"When I'm secretary of state," Miss Rice added, "we'll continue to build on that relationship of trust based on our shared values.

I wouldn't have thought him stupid enough to bring Vietnam up again and he did. Based his whole campaign on it. At this point there is nothing stupid that man could do that would surprise me.

Thats why it will never happen - not even Kerry could be that dumb.


I wonder. Pondering Kerry's choices this campaign, I came to the conclusion that his pattern is to tell tales that exaggerate his own importance. After he tells the tale a few times, he believes it. So he might seriously plan on a suit. But his friends will probably talk him out of it.
