Condoleezza Rice Fails To Gain Support in Europe
Condoleezza Rice is traveling to Europe and Turkey, trying to secure support on Iran, but it is unclear how successful she is on that. It appears that Greece failed to commit support on any sanctions on Iran. Greek Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis was guarded when she was asked whether Greece would support sanctions.
"The position of Greece is that the international community should achieve a peaceful settlement of this matter," Bakoyannis said. She said "there must be coordination within the European Union, and decisions will be taken within the framework of the Security Council. We are in the middle of a diplomatic effort, which still has tools at its disposal that allow it to be effective."
Thats the problem when you loose your credibility by starting unnecessary wars in Iraq. A nuclear Iran is a real potential threat, but our European allies do not take seriously anymore the Bush administration.
