| The new US Foreign Minister Condoleeza Rice who will start work today said that they were not making preparations for war against Iran. German magazine Der Spiegel said that Rice met German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer last week during his trip to the US and assured him that the country was not preparing for war against Iran. It reported that Rice wanted Fischer to continue the efforts of Germany, France and UK to limit the nuclear program of Iran. Meanwhile, the President of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Muhammad Al-Baradey remarked that they were in agreement with Iran's claims that it is not producing nuclear weapons. Making a statement at Davos, Baradey stressed that IAEA inspectors could not find any proof in the research they made in Iran about production of nuclear weapons. Baradey added, "If anyone has any knowledge about these issues and or reason to claim that Iran's nuclear program produces atomic weapons, I want them to share this knowledge." The president of the agency expressed that they had received no information about this yet. |

| #5 Yup. This is a woman who spent her childhood in the black middle class of Birmingham AL when that was a recipe for being lynched and harassed. She is the daughter of a black man who patrolled their streets, along with neighbors, carrying a shotgun to protect his family. And she herself definitely supports the right to keep and bear arms today. People like Boxer and Kerry aren't fit to shine her shoes. Dr. Rice was also one of the most noted scholars who thought long and hard about dealing with the Soviets. There's a REASON Brent Scowcroft mentored her, Dick Cheney sponsored her and Stanford made her a provost at a ridiculously young age. |

| #3 "The preparations are already made..." I dunno, the preparations would have to include positioning about 130,000 troops in a country that shared a border with Iran. Oh, wait... |

| #1 Duh. The last people you'd want to tell what you're up to are the French, Germans, or the Russians. As Iraq has demonstrated, those people are not friends. |
