Worries of a Iranian Nuclear Noogie Keep Options Open for Bush

Saying Iran is prepared to "cut the hand of any aggressor and place the sign of disgrace on their forehead," President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad continued to claim enriched uranium would be used for peaceful purposes only. While Iran talked tough, Bush refused to rule out any options, especially the more insane one of nuclear strikes against a nation far from being capable of producing enough enriched uranium for destructive purposes. As if anyone should be surprised, the saber rattling by Iran is gaining an audience throughout the Middle East as a response to the U.S. occupation of Iraq and the rapid plummet of aspirations for peace in Palestine/Israel. (and yes, we know the pic has nothing to do with Iran. How could we have passed it up though?)
