WASHINGTON (AP) - The Bush administration said Saturday's long-sought vote to send Iran's nuclear case before the U.N. Security Council gives Tehran one month to comply with the world's demands, but U.S. diplomats would not specify the penalties they hope might be imposed.

"I think we'll hold our fire," Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns told reporters.

The U.N. nuclear watchdog said in a resolution that Iran's nuclear program may not be "exclusively for peaceful purposes." Iran promptly said it would resume uranium enrichment at its main plant instead of in Russia.

The United States is convinced that Iran is concealing its ambitions to build a bomb and has favored sending the matter to the Security Council option for almost three years.

3. If I used heating oil, I would top off at the end of the month,

4. The timing is eerie

It does support the Euro Oil Bourse theory. Some sort of attack seems to be brewing. It seems like the American population is to have no say in the matter.

7. Notice how they are naming crimes that have not been committed again.

Iran has "one month to comply"...but Iran hasn't done anything wrong, so exactly WHAT are they complying WITH?? Same nonsensical choices they gave to Iraq..."PROVE to us you no longer have WMDs or we'll blow you to bits"

This is all bullshit. "I think we'll hold our fire", this fucker says. They haven't DONE anything!
