The Bush administration is relying too heavily on other countries in the international effort to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons, according to Sen. Harry Reid.
Reid, D-Nev., said the administration should be taking the lead, but instead is relying on Germany, France and Great Britain to convince Iran to end its uranium enrichment program.
"It is hard to comprehend," Reid said. "We should be involved at trying to arrive at a diplomatic solution. ... Not just these three countries."
Reid said the Middle East is a "powder keg" because of U.S. failures in Iraq, the rise of fundamentalism and the recent election of Hamas in Palestine.
"Our not being involved diplomatically in trying to solve the situation in Iran shows the Bush failure in foreign policy there and elsewhere."
And he said the U.S. has no military option in Iran.
"We don't have the resources to do it" because of the ongoing war in Iraq," he said.

Well another back door criticism of the military from a high level RAT, I see.
Hey Reid. Think there's no military option for Iran? Stand back and watch how real men take care of a dangerous situation.

What an ignoramus.
Tell that to the Greeks under Alexander....."No option against Iran, Alex....we're fighting elsewhere."
We COULD defeat Iran in short order. However, there's no reason to do so. All we want to accomplish is the destruction of a limited number of sites.

We must be getting ready to do something. Reid is trying to turn the country against preventative action already.
