DR. Rice warns Iran: IRAQ is not happy with you!

[Bluebear]

RICE: The Iranians have engaged in some activities that we think are unhelpful in Iraq. More importantly, the Iraqis believe that the Iranians have engaged in activities that are unhelpful.

Iran is Iraq's neighbor, and we expect there to be relations between Iran and Iraq. But they need to be transparent, neighborly relations, not relations that are aimed somehow at subverting Iraqi political processes.

And so, this is a discussion that a number of people are having with the Iranians.

BLITZER: I interviewed Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei, the International Atomic Energy Agency director-general, this week. He called on the U.S., the Bush administration, to join the Europeans in this dialogue with Iran to deal with the nuclear reactors, the nuclear weapons allegations against Iran.

Is that something that you as secretary of state welcome?

RICE: The Iranians know what they need to do. They know that they cannot be responsible members of the international community and pursue nuclear weapons under cover of civilian nuclear programs, something that is granted under the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

We've been in close contact with the Europeans as they try the dialogue that they're having with the Iranians to move the Iranians to a position where they live up to their international obligations, and we'll continue to do that.

But it needs to be understood that Iran has not been in compliance with its international obligations. It needs to get there.

2. What is it with the "Dr"?

This is twice today she's been referred to as Dr. Rice, instead of SofS Rice - why?

Oh, and I think America needs to understand it's not the policeman of the world.

4. The neocons become very upset if you don't "Doctor" her all over the place

Since she is a ph.D you know, and, well, she's not one of those liberal elite professors, she's actually DOING something with her doctorate, like lying her ass off for oil profiteering.

3. So we can attack Iran because the Iraqis want us to?

Got to defend that investment

5. Crank up that propaganda, "Doctor" Rice!

[oblivious]

6. I kind of like what's she's saying.

RICE: The Iranians know what they need to do. They know that they cannot be responsible members of the international community and pursue nuclear weapons

May I paraphrase that: Any country with nuclear weapons is not a responsible member of the international community.

7. "Iran has not been in compliance with its international obligations..."

Oh yeah, cite a non-compliance of international law as an justifications for Bush colonial behavior - like we've set a great example of playing ball with the world community.

"The Iranians know what they need to do." - I think they do: get ready for the shitstorm thats coming to a neighborhood near them.

8. First.....

the UN says that Iran is in compliance. Is Dr Rice calling them liars?
Second....Shheeee is being referred to as DR RICE because she needs an ego massage. I guess that she is maybe having a bad hair day???

Third... Isn't there a chapter in Revelations about the dark haired woman who is the whore of Babylon and starts the WWIII???? Could that be......?????
