U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice urged the United Nations on Saturday to be tough with Iran over its nuclear ambitions but said there was still time for diplomacy to run its course....When the going gets tough for the Bush team, they start a war. The 2006 elections are right around the corner.
While asking the U.N. to be firm, Rice urged Tehran to resume nuclear talks that broke down last month with the Europeans or the Security Council should intervene.
"When diplomacy has been exhausted, the Security Council must become involved," Rice said.
Of course, to anyone paying attention, and I suspect the Iranians are paying attention, we seem to be a little over-extended. I wonder if Condi and Bush know that.
