US Vice President Dick Cheney warned Friday from the hangar deck of a US aircraft carrier in the Gulf that the United States will not let Iran get nuclear weapons.

"We'll stand with others to prevent Iran from gaining nuclear weapons and dominating this region," he told thousands of sailors on the nuclear-powered USS John C. Stennis as it cruised roughly 240 kilometres (150 miles) from Iran.

Cheney, who spoke as five warplanes stood arrayed behind him, said the US naval presence in the region sent "clear messages to friends and adversaries alike."

fyi

[jhpigott]

interesting place where he gave this speech, don’t ya think ;)

[Cap Huff]

I can’t think of a better place to send a message like that!

“If a Dem had gone into Iraq”

(Hahahahahahahaa)

that’s better...

Right: Cheney and the rest of them, dove into
Iraq and underestimated the obvious need for a
concerted security plan, after going into Baghdad.
Cheney has a history of running his mouth off,
like his and Tenet,with their quips that gets
blown out of the water.
“Slam Dunk”..my A**. JK

I dunno. I think McCain would have done what they proposing on Iran now (diplomatic sanctions ramped up, spec-ops, and a massive air campaign)

I think that’s still illegal and the Madam is facing charges, so you might have to resort to self abuse.

The headline is a bit misleading

"We'll stand with others to prevent Iran from gaining nuclear weapons and dominating this region," he told thousands of sailors on the nuclear-powered USS John C. Stennis as it cruised roughly 240 kilometres (150 miles) from Iran.

Doesn't exactly sound like a vow that Iran will not get nuclear weapons. As a matter of fact, the way the rest of the world is dilly dallying around this issue, I wouldnt be surprised if Iran WILL get Nuclear weapons. It's just a matter of time.

[Non-Sequitur]

We will launch an massive Air/Naval attack against the Iranian terrorist regime to destroy their nuclear facilities and more. This will happen before President Bush leaves office.

Then what?

[PghBaldy]

Part of the problem is the need of Bush & Cheney to appear multilateral. If it’s in America’s interest, then we should do it ourselves. Help is nice, but we have let the EU do the work for us re Iran, and they are that much closer. I honestly don’t know what his statement means. It almost sounds like “we’ll try” to stop them.

You can put it..where the sun doesn’t sign...Up&atem..JK

[listenhillary]

I wasn’t the one suggesting “slam dunk my ass”

[Paperdoll]

> If a Dem had gone into Iraq what do you think would be going on here in FR?<

Let’s see.... Uniting for the benefit of our beloved country, like we did under a Democrat president during WWII?

[Eyes Unclouded]

Then it’ll be the GOP turn to sit out and blame everything on the Dem in office
