Any conflicting statements here?
"Why
should we go to war? There is no war in the offing.”
So, I’m doing some
reading online last night and these two articles - from Reuters - are
side-by-side.

Ahmadinejad says Iran, U.S. not headed for war and Cheney mulled Israeli strike on Iran

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in a U.S. television interview on Sunday that Iran did not need nuclear weapons and his country was not heading for war with the United States.
Asked whether Iran and the United States were heading toward conflict over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, he said: “It’s wrong to think that Iran and the U.S. are walking toward war. Who says so? Why should we go to war? There is no war in the offing.”

Vice President Dick Cheney had at one point considered asking Israel to launch limited missile strikes at an Iranian nuclear site to provoke a retaliation, Newsweek magazine reported on Sunday.

Maybe we can get both these guys on camera at the same time and see if they come up with the same answers?
