Sen. Lugar bucks Bush. Talking to Iran is essential

Edited on Tue Apr-18-06 09:37 AM by killerbush
Sen. Richard Lugar, (R-IN) has told President Bush that striking Iran is not an option to explore right now, and urges high level talks between the two countries to see if some sort of diplomatic solution can be reached.

He said "I believe we ought to cool it when it comes to possible use of force against Iran. We need to make more headway diplomatically". He said we ought to hold off on sanctions until they can be proven to be effective.

But Nicholas Burns, the number 3 man at the State Dept. says if Iran continues on its path of no return, it will find itself "in a box", and in a position it doesn't want ot be in.



The drums of war are beating again!!!
