U.S. should use all tools to pressure Iran: Obama Tue Jul 15, 2008 11:59am EDT
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama said on Tuesday preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon was in America's vital interests and vowed to use all tools to pressure Tehran.
"No tool of statecraft should be taken off the table," Obama said in a speech covering broad national security issues, including Iraq and Iran.

Such as the tool which Europe has been using for the last 5 years, which has yielded absolutely nothing!
"Let's give them the Lincoln bedroom.
Mr. O must be joking.
“Statecraft” does not work with evil people.
What is Mr. Obama going to do? Promise to be their best friend?
This is mindless and foolish.
The mullahs only understand ordnance on target.
Obama is acting like a king. He wants to send two more Brigades to Afganistan. He doesn’t even know what a brigade consists of. He has absolutely no military experience. He said he would go into Pakistan if needed. Pakistan has nuclear weapons they can use to stop us. He says Pakistans leader is no longer relevant....is this guy a fool? Obama wants to control the world. He’s going to tell the UN Security Council to force Iran to conform to their wishes. Does he not know that Russia and China have veto power? He wants to send $250 billion dollars to other countries. Has he asked the American people if this is what they want done with their tax money?
What is statecraft?
Is that something like witchcraft?
Diplomacy.
Way to lay down the law Obama! /sarc

Another four years of Carter.
Sounds like the old “liberal” Obama is back. Nothing like
tail spinning in the polls after tripping your way in flip
flops to the center to bring one back hard left. I hear
the sounds of nose dive and explosion ...
Talking to Iran is a waste of time. Talking about talking to Iran is a bigger waste of time.
TOOLS? what does that Gub'mint jabber mean??
