Oh, the fun just keeps on coming. Today President Bush made clear that the US will take military action if necessary to stop Iran from getting nukes.
Now, that's all well and good. I mean, I don't want Iran to go nuclear. But we've got a wee little problem. We don't have the military capacity to start a war with Iran right now. Apparently some jerk used up all our jelly beans attacking another country, all based on a lie. And now we're stuck in that other country, and because everything is going so well we don't want to leave.
So how are we going to enforce Bush's promise to stop Iran from getting nukes using "all options" available to him?
I'll give you a hint: rhymes with "raft"...
US President George W. Bush says "all options are on the table" for making sure Iran dismantles its nuclear program, and that Washington will never let Tehran acquire atomic weapons.
"My hope is that we can solve this diplomatically," Bush said in a three-part interview with Fox News Channel's "O'Reilly Factor" program, excerpts of which were made public on Sunday.
"Let me try to solve it diplomatically first," said Bush. "All options are on the table, of course, in any situation. But diplomacy is the first option."
The Bush administration has charged that oil-rich Iran does not need a civilian nuclear program for energy and that Tehran is actually seeking to acquire nuclear weapons.
Asked whether the United States would let Iran develop that capability, Bush replied: "No, we've made it clear, our position is that they won't have a nuclear weapon."
