‘Vice President Dick Cheney has
vowed unshakeable 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 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.’
