Fox: Russia, China agree with U.S. - Iran nuke program "must be halted"
Permanent Security Council Members Agree on Iran

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,181751,00.html

LONDON — Russia and China agreed with the United States and its European allies Monday that Iran must fully suspend its nuclear program, but the countries stopped short of demanding referral to the U.N. Security Council, Britain's Foreign Office said.

In a concilatory statement, Iran's ambassador to Moscow praised a Russian proposal to move the Iranian uranium enrichment program to its territory — a step that could resolve the deadlock over Tehran's nuclear ambitions.

Russian President Vladimir Putin also urged caution in dealing with the Iranian nuclear issue, saying that Tehran might still agree to the Russian offer and warning "it's necessary to work carefully and avoid any sharp, erroneous moves."

Britain, France and Germany, backed by Washington, want Iran to be referred to the Security Council, which can impose sanctions. But Russia and China, which have close commercial ties with Iran, have resisted such a move in the past and could stymie efforts against Tehran as veto-wielding members of the U.N. body.

1. I'm really sick of Rice and Straw calling themselves the int'l community
Sick nasty war criminals pretending they represent the world.

3. The Texan has been showing a remarkable amount of restraint.
He's so relaxed over the matter, not giving ultimatums and not wearing his cowboy boots.

Did he get laid?
