White House Frustrated that UK Not beating War Drums Against Iran

Posted on November 11th, 2007 by vicezilla

The Bush administration is losing patience with Gordon Brown over Iran, with senior American diplomats frustrated by his reluctance to declare bluntly that the Islamic state must never be allowed nuclear weapons.

A senior State Department official with close ties to Ms Rice said: “It would be helpful if he took a tougher line in public. We’ve got to convince Iran that the West will not tolerate them developing nuclear weapons. “At the moment, I don’t think Iran takes the threat seriously. We need Iran, and the rest of the world, to realize that this is not just a bunch of crazy Americans on the one side and flaky Europeans on the other - that we are united on this one.”

Crazy Americans? It’s more like it should be “Crazy Bush.” The only one beating the war drum is Bush, because he’s a “go it alone” kinda guy.
