Washington: The United States was concerned over Iran possessing nuclear weapons as it had "links with terrorist groups," Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice said. "Whenever you have nuclear weapons in the hands of a state that is irresponsible when it comes to terrorism, that is certainly a concern," Rice told CNN.

"The Iranians have plenty of terrorist friends. They've supplied terrorist groups within the Palestinian territories. They are, to our classification, a state sponsor of terror," she said.

"So as the President has said many times, our worst nightmare is nuclear weapons or nuclear materials in the hands of terrorists. The Iranians support terrorism. So it's a natural concern that if the Iranians, if there's proliferation in Iran, that some link with terrorism is entirely possible."

The Sword of Damocles should be explained to the Iran pukes. Jimmy is not in the White House and any WMD attack on the US will result in major improvement to civilization.
