When President Bush says something, he means it. The Iranians should be smart enough to know this. I wonder when the attacks on Iran will start when they thumb their noses at us again.

After President Bush is sworn in for a second term. I would not trust the Democrats before then.

Clinton said he would not permit NK to get nukes, but he was aa bluffer. Bush, when pushed by BOR on Fox, said he would not tolerate Iranian nukes, but he sure sounded like he was reluctant to to be pushed into a flat declaration. If Bush blinks, it will be over this. He could not get a Congressional resolution for force against Iran no matter what Iran does short of using a nuke in anger. Would he act suddenly without Congress? Maybe... but we don't have the firepower on hand to hold Iraq and take and hold Iran. Thus, Iraqification is key to credible threat to Iran. Which is why Syria and Iran will continue to sow chaos.

When President Bush says something, he means it.

He was pointedly asked on the campaign trail if there was any way he would allow Iran to get nukes, "No." was the answer.

In this article he says "This is a very serious matter.

This is like the Don Corleone telling you that he'd really hate for something bad to happen to you. He won't raise his voice and you'd better listen.
