Quoted from the article: U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Wednesday that Iran must live up to its international obligations to halt its nuclear program or "the next steps are in the offing."
"And I think everybody understands what the 'next steps' mean," Rice told reporters after a meeting with NATO foreign ministers and European Union officials.
Somehow, not thinking she's talking about an ice cream social. Because, y'know, we've got troops just sitting around waiting for something to do...
Y'know, I'm not even sure I have words to describe how pissed off I am about this. How many wars would this make? Because, y'know, I'm starting to lose count....
There have been a lot of the Iraq War agitators writing columns that we should invade Iran and or Syria, because, you know, we'll be greeted as liberators just like in Iraq.
As I'm returning back to submarine duty in May I remember the old saying from my previous sub tour: One ship, one screw, one shaft ... taken back aft. What have you done to me Laura Anne? Exposing me to all of these people and their progressive philosophies? Why do I wax liberal in the middle of my military career? I'm supposed to be conservative, right wing and pro-regurgative!---oh yeah, the lifting of the veil...<--- many thanks. -=Jeff=-
You know, I once (long ago) saw Robin Williams doing a side-splitting routine that was basically "what if Jesus came back as Charles Bronson and he was pissed -- and armed?" I've thought of that routine a lot during the Bush administration....
Sigh. I swear, Bush (and his government) suffer from attention defecit disorder. "We're going after bin Laden! Ooooh, look, Iraq! Well, we're making Iraq a democratic... Oooh, Iran! Bin Laden? Who's he?"
And who doubts that if they start going after Iran they'll drop Iraq and the mess there like a hot potatoe.
