From The New York Sun:

UNITED NATIONS — Secretary of State Rice is signaling she won't stand in the way of an Israeli military action to stop Iran's nuclear program, ratcheting up the American pressure on Tehran.

Following the Iranian government's latest refusal to give what Washington considered a "satisfactory" answer to the most generous offer yet that leading world powers have made to Tehran, the Bush administration vowed to impose a new round of Security Council sanctions. Council members say, however, that several weeks will pass before the divided body can impose punitive measures on Iran, if at all. Some diplomats even argue that any significant policy agreement among the powers on Iran must wait until next year, when a new American president takes charge.

My Comment: Secretary Rice is now publicly stating that the U.S. will support an Israeli strike on Iran by ..... not getting in their way.

Everyone is now positioning themselves for a massive attack on Iran. After examining and testing the logistics and feasibility of such an attack, we are now at the stage where the politicians and diplomats are publicly stating what will happen if negotiations are not successful. The next stage will be the military build-up, followed by an attack.

Are the Iranians aware of what is happening? Are they sensitive to the plans that are being drawn against them? Do they care?
