Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice speaks on Iran's nuclear program at the State Department, April 12, 2006. (Jason Reed/Reuters)Folks, I think it is time for a new series called The Wingnut Shrills! A new public service forum brought to you by the Bush White House! From Yahoo News:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Wednesday Iran's assertion it has enriched uranium will require "strong steps" from the United Nations Security Council.
Rice said the announcement on Tuesday from Tehran that it has begun nuclear enrichment was further proof it was not adhering to requirements already set out by the international community.
"I do think the Security Council will need to take into consideration this move by Iran," Rice said at the State Department. She urged that when the council reconvened at the end of this month it should take "strong steps to make certain that we maintain the credibility of the international community."
Rice did not indicate what the steps might be but her spokesman Sean McCormack said it would be stronger than the presidential statement by the Security Council last month after weeks of wrangling at the United Nations.
Can you say, "Let's bomb Iran?"
Yes, folks, we're on the start of another Bush White House disinformation and PR-spin game here. While Condi is telling the UN Security Council, and the 36 percent of Americans who still believe in Georgie Bush, that "stronger steps" must be taken before the evil Iranians build a nuclear bomb, a second secret meeting is taking place in a deep, dark corner of the White House Situation Room. Yes, you can bet that Georgie, Dick Cheney, and Rummy have already put together a nice little plan to "nuke" Iran. This is called the 'first strike initiative.' You know those evil Islamic Iranians can't have a nuclear bomb--we might have more mushroom clouds over New York. So let's nuke the Iranians before they nuke us.
Of course, this strategy can't just take place in an impulsive manner--Lord no, that would damage our credibility in the world (Do you mean we still have some credibility left in the world?). So we've got Condi telling the UN Security Council that the U.S. should take stronger steps against Iran in order for the U.S. to maintain "the credibility of the international community."
Uh....Right, like how the U.S. maintained the "the credibility of the international community," by invading Iraq?
Of course, while Condi is stressing how the U.S. should maintain "the credibility of the international community," by taking stronger steps with the UN Security Council, We've got this little nugget from the White House press office. Consider this:
Asked about the possibility of sanctions on Iran, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said: "That's a possibility as well, that's one option that's available." Russia and China, key players on the Iran issue with veto rights, strongly oppose sanctions.
Yes, that is how the U.S. will maintain its "the credibility of the international community." We'll start in the U.N. by asking the Security Council for imposing some economic sanctions against Iran, which obviously will never work, since both Russia and China will veto the sanctions. The Bush White House and the Iranians will trade some "Your mother wears combat boots insults," over the summer and early fall. By late September or early October, Bush will announce an ultimatum against the Iranians--disable your nuke program, or we'll disable it for you. The Iranians will certainly refuse such an ultimatum, and President Bush will launch an attack against Iran--either in the last week of October, or the first week of November, but certainly before the Election Day. Bush will want all Americans to rally around the flag and the "War President." Oh, and while you're at it--make sure you vote Republican during the elections.
