Iran will be stopped, Cheney vows to Israeli lobbyists
Malaysia Sun Tuesday, 7 March 2006

WASHINGTON — Vice President Dick Cheney has vowed unshakable solidarity with Israel, and condemned the new Palestinian government.

Cheney made it clear Iran would not be allowed to have a nuclear weapon, described the Iranian regime as "irresponsible," and warned the United States had "all options on the table."

"The Iranian regime needs to know that if it stays on its present course, the international community is prepared to impose meaningful consequences," he said.

Cheney was addressing 5,000 pro-Israel activists from all 50 states Monday who gathered in Washington, D.C., to attend the two-day Annual Policy Conference of The American Israel Public Affairs Committee(AIPAC), America's pro-Israel lobbyist organization, which began Sunday.

The focus of the conference was "the urgency of stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons and isolating the Palestinian government, which is now controlled by the terrorist group Hamas." Additionally, AIPAC delegates had 400 lobbying appointments with members of the House and Senate who were in attendance.

The American vice president joined U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, in condemning the new Hamas-led Palestinian government. Bolton too echoed the vice president's "unshakable" commitment to the U.S.-Israel alliance.

"While Mr. Ahmadinejad, president of the Islamic Republic of Iran, has clearly failed his lessons in history, indulge me a moment if you will to offer him up at least one lesson on current events: our commitment to Israel's security and the alliance between the United States and Israel are unshakable," Bolton told the conference.
