"All options" my ass
Posted by Jill | 7:11 AM
When Dick Cheney says that "all options are on the table", it means that he's already decided on war:

Vice President Dick Cheney on Saturday renewed Washington's warning to Iran that ''all options'' are on the table if the country continues to defy U.N.-led efforts to end Tehran's nuclear ambitions.

At a joint news conference with Prime Minister John Howard during a visit to Australia, Cheney also said Washington was ''comfortable'' with Britain's decision to withdraw troops from Iraq and that it was up to Australia to decide if it would do the same.

Cheney said the United States was ''deeply concerned'' about Iran's activities, including the ''aggressive'' sponsoring of terrorist group Hezbollah and inflammatory statements by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

He said top U.S. officials would meet soon with European allies to decide the next step toward planned tough sanctions against Iran if it continues enriching uranium.

''We worked with the European community and the United Nations to put together a set of policies to persuade the Iranians to give up their aspirations and resolve the matter peacefully, and that is still our preference,'' Cheney said.

''But I've also made the point, and the president has made the point, that all options are on the table,'' he said, leaving open the possibility of military action.
