Rice criticises Britain for not laying down the law to Iran's leaders

[kskiska]

Condoleezza Rice issued a thinly veiled rebuke to Britain and other European allies yesterday for failing to lay down the law to Iran over nuclear weapons.

Her remarks cast a chilly air over a whirlwind European tour that has otherwise been dominated by swooning coverage of the new US secretary of state, from her expensively-tailored suits to her life story as the first black woman to reach such high rank in American history.

In an interview that was aimed at domestic American television viewers, Miss Rice told Fox News that Iran should be warned it faces United Nations sanctions unless it accepts a last-minute European Union diplomatic deal on scaling back its nuclear activities.

" Iranians need to hear that if they are unwilling to take the deal, really, that the Europeans are giving … then the Security Council looms," she said.

Fool me once...

5. Oh yes he will. Blair was never fooled by Bush*.

He simply took a calculated risk and it was a very poor choice. However, he is now a player on the Bush* team. To go against Bush* now would be political suicide.

Remember, Blair was elected because of the media support he got from Murdoch's papers - a support which he still enjoys.
