At least 8 years of the last democrat president in office.
One year of a republican president and Saddam is gone!
Will President Bush now pull a Clinton and not do a thing and let the next guy handle it?
We better get used to the idea of a nuclear armed Iran, because unless they were to use their nuclear weapons, no one is seriously going to do anything.
And if they don't the UN will have a hissy-fit!
Then we better get used to the idea that Iran is going to use the bomb on Israel and the U.S. indirectly through the use of terrorists.
I'm sure the U.N. will respond appropriately, if we can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the bombs came from Iran. Of course, it won't help the dead Israelis or the one or two destroyed U.S. cities.
It's all a game to Iran; stalling while they continue their work.
We all agree that this isn´t the way to prevent Iran from getting nukes. But it´s the way to prepare appropriate steps. The decisive moment will be, when we *officially* find out that Russia and China will not do everything they can to stop Iran. Will the US be ready to take effective military action (concerns of a rising oil price cannot be an arguement against that)? Will the UK and this time France & Germany support these actions actively? Never forget, we once had a precedent - Kosovo. The alliance has proven that it can act without the blessing of the UN, which will be blocked by Russia and China, as so often.
"Alright. From now on, they're on "double-secret" probation!"
