http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=1696737Vice President Dick Cheney, meanwhile, said in a speech Tuesday to a pro-Israel lobbying group that Iran will not be allowed to have a nuclear weapon and warned that the issue may soon go before the Security Council.

"The Iranian regime needs to know that if it stays on its present course, the international community is prepared to impose meaningful consequences," Cheney told the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. "We join other nations in sending that regime a clear message: we will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon."

He said the U.S. "is keeping all options on the table in addressing the irresponsible conduct of the regime." In the past the U.S. has said it has no intention of using military force for now, but has declined to completely rule it out. And now for a balanced and informative update on the Iran situation from the AIPAC http://www.aipac.org/iran/nuclear_status/escalating_threat.html

In just days, Bush toppled long-honored safeguards for the allocation and control of fissile material, and created a "nuclear bizarre" to be exclusively regulated by the United States. His trip tells the world that global nuclear-policy will now be decided by the Pentagon big-wigs and hard-right fanatics who dominate the Bush White House. No wonder the media was so awestruck by Bush’s performance and celebrated his recklessness as "groundbreaking" or "a landmark deal". The press seems to relish the idea that America can single-handedly nudge the planet ever-closer to nuclear destruction.

It's a double-entendre.
