D.All of the above

You forgot:
E.By asking for more money.
*THEN* it would be all of the above!
Well, I hate they are willing to use their own people as human shields, but, they would have to be prepared to meet God, if I had my way.
"Hey this is serious guys...we better issue another condemnation or maybe even have a committee meeting to discuss the possibility or the likelyhood that we will consider some more series of condemnations this time" The world is watching us this time.
Nuke talks with mollahs will take the world to NO WHERE!
Yeah, those proclamtions work every time.
