Iran isn't on the agenda. Ha.

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Friday that an attack on Iran over its nuclear program is "not on the agenda at this point."

"We have many diplomatic tools still at our disposal and we intend to pursue them fully," Rice told a news conference after a meeting with British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw.

Asked if a military attack was possible, Rice said: "The question is simply not on the agenda at this point."

However, she warned that Iran must not "use the cover" of civilian nuclear power development "to sustain a program that can lead to a nuclear weapon."

Bullshit. It's been on the agenda since before Iraq was invaded.

European governments have made it clear they would not support military action against Iran over its uranium enrichment program.

[...]

Britain, France and Germany have been holding talks with Tehran in an attempt to have the uranium enrichment program permanently frozen. But the Bush administration has been cool to the European diplomacy, preferring economic sanctions against Iran.

In his State of the Union speech Wednesday, U.S. President George W. Bush called Iran "the world's primary state sponsor of terror."

Boy, that honor floats around on an idiot's whim, doesn't it?

At her confirmation hearings last month, Rice said the United States wants "a regime in Iran that is responsive to concerns that we have about Iran's policies, which are 180 degrees'' antithetical to America's interests.

They don't even bother to couch things in terms of America's wonderful moral values. Just go straight to the truth - America's (BushCo's) interests. Why in the name of all that's holy should another country have America's interests at the top of their list? Maybe Iran would like a regime in America that's responsive to Iran's interests.

Iran's supreme leader on Thursday said Bush's policies toward Iran would fail.

"America is like one of the big heads of a seven-headed dragon," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in Iran's capital. "The brains directing it are Zionist and non-Zionist capitalists who brought Bush to power to meet their own interests."

Speaking with Straw at a news conference, Rice said Iran's human rights record was "abysmal."

If it's all the same
to you old dame,
I'm gonna call that kettle black.
