INCREDIBLE ALL-NEW BULLETIN – AT 6:03 P.M. ET:  I knew you'd want to read of our dramatically new policy toward Iran.  From AFP:

The United States warned Iran on Tuesday that "time and patience is running out" with its nuclear program, saying Tehran had shown no interest in allaying world fears.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Iran's recent pronouncements showed "they have no interest in building international confidence that their nuclear program is for peaceful means."

Gibbs reiterated US warnings of "consequences" if Iran continues to develop uranium enrichment capabilities, adding, "Time and patience is running out."

COMMENT:  Wow!  Time running out!  Patience running out!  Consequences! 

We have never heard this before...or have we?  Like 10 or 20 times? 

Well, let's see:  There was a deadline for Iran in September of last year.  Time running out!  Consequences.  Well, you know how things are.

Then there was another deadline at the end of the year.  Patience exhausted!  Consequences!  Well, we have to talk to our allies.

Then February, we were told, was the month for really big punishment.  Time running out!  Consequences!  Well, we haven't finished all our talks with our friends.

I'm sure they mean it this time.

Choke.
