If a Dem administration had done this we would never hear the end of it

[NNN0LHI]

The media would be all over it. The Repubs would be on TV every day going completely nuts about this. Lou Dobbs would be showing the number of days it had been since those stupid Dems had made these empty treats on every single show. He would have had several "polls" about it by now.

Tell me I am wrong.

Rice Gives Iran Weeks, not Months, To Decide on Nuclear Talks - 6/2/06

Washington -- Iran has weeks, not months, to respond to the proposals from the international community to resolve the diplomatic impasse over Iran's nuclear activities, according to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

“{W}e can't wait for months while Iran again says on the one hand maybe they're interested in negotiating, on the other hand maybe they're not. They need to make a choice and the international community needs to know whether negotiation is a real option or not,” Rice told reporters in Vienna, Austria, June 2.

The international community is putting forth a package of incentives and penalties aimed at persuading the Iranian government to suspend its uranium enrichment activities and return to negotiations about its nuclear program. (See related article.)

“I hope that the Iranian government will take a little time to think about the proposal that is being presented to it. This is a way out of the impasse if Iran indeed wants a way out of the impasse,” she told a CBS News reporter.

1. The problem is, Junior's White House has ignored three different

overtures from Iran (that I know of, anyway), so this empty threat is theater and something of a non sequitur.

Iran keeps saying, let's talk. BushCo keeps saying, if you don't talk, we'll invade you.
