MONROVIA, Jan 16 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Monday Iran "crossed the threshold" with its recent nuclear actions and the world must act fast to send Tehran to the U.N. Security Council.

The Security Council's five permanent members and Germany are holding talks in London on Monday in search of a common strategy to tackle Iran's resumption of atomic fuel research and development after a two-year moratorium.

Rice said the United States wanted the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to hold an emergency meeting as soon as possible, fearing if IAEA members waited until a scheduled meeting in March this would give Iran a chance to further "obfuscate" over any nuclear weapons plans.

"We just can't let them do that," she told reporters traveling with her to Liberia for the inauguration of Africa's first woman president.

1. I wonder when the REAL hyperbole-fest will begin?

"imminent threat"
"pre-emptive strike"
"mushroom cloud"

They are so OBVIOUSLY creating a backstory for a US-Israeli or just Israeli attack, I just cannot believe my eyes and ears.

Every news broadcast you see is not about Iranian uranium enrichment, it is about Iranian "nukes." It's patently ridiculous, but if there is ONE THING that 9-11 has shown the world, it is that Americans are the easist fleeced of all sheep.

If this doesn't say it all, I don't know what does...

2. Let me get this straight - if we don't act fast, Iran will have more time

to OBFUSCATE.... obfuscate? Obfuscate over any nuclear weapons plans?

Does she mean make muddy? Lie like she does? We're in a panic because Iran might obfuscate?
