The [Bush] administration is looking at it seriously, not for using it today but if all else fails, as a last option. |
There will be a strong majority for a resolution to report Iran to the Security Council. The fact that Russia and China signed on to this plan provides cover for other members. |
They [members of the Security Council] can start with small steps, reinforcing the call on Iran to suspend its enrichment, targeted political sanctions, or other measures that fall short of military options. |
They've now walked across the line in such a blatant way that it's hard to see where any other red line could be drawn. Now they've done what everybody was afraid of. |
