Smiles mask the steel as Rice gets tough on Iranian nuclear threat
Topics: Middle East News and PerspectivesI think I love this woman!
"The world's most powerful woman" warns that the Iranians had been offered a diplomatic way of fulfilling their international obligations -- by Europe -- and "they ought to take it".
CONDOLEEZZA RICE was all smiles as she arrived
in London yesterday to start her fence-mending first trip to Europe
since becoming US Secretary of State. Jack Straw, the Foreign Secretary, beamed as he stood alongside
the world's most powerful woman while she declared a "unity of purpose"
over key challenges facing Western leaders. 
They talked up the prospects of peace in the Middle East and
Dr Rice pledged to return to London next month for the
British-sponsored conference with the Palestinian Authority.
But Dr Rice's buoyant public displays in London and Berlin masked the uncompromising message she delivered on two issues of paramount concern to Washington -- Iran and China.
Nothing wishy-washy about Condoleezza Rice.
