IRANS NEXT .

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday Iran is sliding into a military dictatorship, a new assessment suggesting a rockier road ahead for U.S.-led efforts to stop Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

As the first high-level Obama administration official to make such an accusation, Clinton was reflecting an ever-dimming outlook for persuading Iran to negotiate limits on its nuclear program, which it has insisted is intended only for peaceful purposes. The U.S. and others — including the two Gulf countries Clinton visited Sunday and Monday — believe Iran is headed for a nuclear bomb capability.

Clinton also was revealing the logic of the administration's plan to target the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps with a new round of international sanctions intended to compel Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions before it increases the likelihood of a military clash.

Clinton flew to Riyadh, the Saudi capital, where Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal seemed to express doubt about the usefulness of seeking more sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program. In a joint appearance with Clinton, he said the threat posed by Iran's nuclear ambitions demands a more immediate solution. The Saudi foreign minister didn't identify a preferred short-term resolution.

"Sanctions are a long-term solution. But we see the issue in the shorter term because we are closer to the threat," he said.

U.S. officials said privately that they were unsure of al-Faisal's meaning and that they were certain Saudi Arabia was not opposed to new sanctions. They said the Saudis have some doubt that sanctions can be effective.The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in order to describe diplomatically sensitive conversations with the Saudi leadership.

Clinton was driven in King Abdullah's private bus about 65 miles northeast to Rawdat Khurayim, a secluded royal hunting retreat where the vacationing king hosted her for lunch — and where a large-screen TV was on. Afterward they met privately in his elaborately appointed tent, which includes five crystal chandeliers in the reception room. Clinton also met with al-Faisal in Riyadh and later was flying to Jeddah on the Red Sea coast.

I WANT DC TO BE NUKED!!!! PLEASE PLEASE!!

Mostly joking,... but I don't think war is good ever if the aggressor is not actually attacking us on our soil. Our own criminal government attacked us on our own land in 01 and we attack Iraq?! Very suspicious activity.

Love Hilary warning that Iran is becoming a 'military dictatorship', LOL Not like the US at all.

I can't see US/UN going to war with Iran. They are simply stretched too thin.

Chevez would not have been allowed 15 years ago under the US "Not in my backyard" mentality to socialism. They are trying to be sure but are stretched too thin to get a puppet in there.

They will not get much help from other countries and domestically people are waking up.
