If the status of the N. Korea talks is any indication, saying that Condi has 'won' anything about dealing with Iran is at least premature.

Posted by TIKI AL at April 25, 2007 02:12 AMWhat is the latest assessment of the expected attack on Iran? It was talked up in March for April. April is almost gone. I think it is good if there is no invasion, but the carrier grops are still in the vicinity aren't they? Does Condi actually represent a counter-balance to these forces?
Steve, others, comment please.

Posted by TIKI AL at April 25, 2007 04:57 AMcromulant, the Iran War of Choice is going quite well. Under cover of a darkened moon last week, the massive bunker buster bombs obliterated the Iranian nuke program, forcing them to negotiate a surrender document with Condi Rice. Ahmed Chalabi has been installed as head of the new secular Iranian government, and his first move was to send millions of gallons of crude oil directly to Chevron refineries in the US. Another Bush triumph, wouldn't you say?

If a postion she advocates has prevailed (which I doubt), someone like Gates had to be "helping" her--and I'm sure she as useful an ally as the Austro-Hungarian Empire was to Wilhelmine Germany in WWI. ("We are shackled to a corpse")
