Nov. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the Bush administration is committed to resolving the conflict with Iran diplomatically and that a recent Senate resolution doesn't open the door to military action.

President George W. Bush has been clear ``that he's on a diplomatic path'' in attempting to block Iran from gaining the capability to build a nuclear weapon, she said.

A resolution passed by the Senate in September urging the administration to declare Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization won't be used as a pretext for a military confrontation, as some congressional Democrats have contended, she said today on ABC's ``This Week'' program.

``There is nothing in this particular resolution that would suggest that,'' she said. ``This resolution is saying that there need to be strong measures taken against Iran, which we have definitely done.''

12. Parsing the truth. They are just waiting for Israel to start the war, then they'll jump in.

I'm convinced that the Neocon cabal is pushing Israel to bomb Iran, which will then open the opportunity for the US to step in. This way it looks like Bush has tried the diplomatic approach completely.
