'All Options Open to Iran'
But the problem is the Bush administration's language. They're too honest. Nobody wants to think of going to war with Iran right now yet "all options are open." The Democrats are capitalizing off of this. Bush should deny them that. The Bush administration can keep all the options on the table and deny the Democrats this advantage simply by saying, " the use of force is not an option right now," or some variation. This way the minds of millions of pacifists are more at ease and no commitment was made contrary to what national security may require.

"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.'Diplomacy, Not War, With Iran'
A better approach would be for the United States to engage directly with the Iranians and to lead a global diplomatic offensive to prevent them from building nuclear weapons.The latter is an op-ed by New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. The two statements are pretty much the same. And to be realistic, all options are always open when it comes to national security despite what any Democrat will say. It's just flexible and smart.
