Sorry to keep posting about that evil country Iran. But it just keeps grabbing headlines.
Vice President Dick Cheney said on Thursday "You look around the world at potential trouble spots, Iran is right at the top of the list."
That's actually good news for Iran, who has been downgraded in recent days from an axis of evil, to an outpost of tyranny and now only a potential trouble spot. Cheney continued, "We don't want a war in the Middle East, if we can avoid it." Seriously, he said that today.
Then Cheney issued a strange indirect threat to Iran.
"If, in fact, the Israelis became convinced the Iranians had significant nuclear capability, given the fact that Iran has a stated policy that their objective is the destruction of Israel, the Israelis might well decide to act first, and let the rest of the world worry about cleaning up the diplomatic mess afterwards," Cheney said.
