Never trust headlines

Not even supposed reputable sources like Reuters (which I find less and less reliable all the time). Here's the headline: Rumsfeld: Iran 'Years Away' from Nuclear Weapon. Here's the quote:
Rumsfeld was cautious about the accuracy of intelligence estimates on Iran's nuclear program.

"I don't make estimates, that's the business for the intelligence community. But they're (Iran) some years away according to the estimates, but I don't know if the estimates are correct or not," Rumsfeld told CNN.

And then, of course, there was Bush's not-so-veiled warnings in the SOTU, Washington's refusal to join Europe in diplomatic negotiations with Iran, and Dick's comments...
"It's a regime, obviously, that we've got major problems with, not only because of their search for nuclear weapons, also the fact they've been a prime state sponsor of terror over the years," Cheney said.

"The Iranians, I think, should do the right thing, and they should, in fact, agree to transparency, reassure the outside world that they are not trying to acquire nuclear weapons," Cheney said.
They might reassure the outside world, but how are they going to convince the U.S? Saddam tried and failed.

Dick's momma sure did the right thing when she named the Devil's spawn.

Dick.
