RSSHillary Clinton’s words say no, no, no, but actions…

Actions Speak Louder Than Words
Speaking at an all-woman college in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned that if Iran develops nuclear weapons, an arms race in the Middle East could ensue.
Her words: "Everyone who I speak with in the Gulf, including the leaders here and leaders elsewhere in the region, are expressing deep concern about Iran's intentions."
Her warning, speaking of nuclear arms proliferation in the region should Iran develop this capability:
"If Iran gets a nuclear weapon, that hope disappears,because then other countries which feel threatened by Iran will say to themselves, 'If Iran has a nuclear weapon, I better get one, too, in order to protect my people. Then you have a nuclear arms race in the region."
Administration actions since the December 31, 2009 deadline for Iranian acquiescence to the deal to ship uranium out of the country for enrichment have been few, other than rhetoric aimed at getting nations such as China to sign on to the idea of stiff sanctions. In the meantime Iran continues to move forward without as much as a hiccup.
Words unnecessary. Actions required!
