Condoleezza Rice Threatens Iran and Syria With Mini-Nukes

SORRY THIS IS A FAKE STORY, I ACCIDENTLY THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE BEEN CORRECT SINCE I PICKED IT UP FROM GOOGLE. THANKS TO TRICKS, HE CAUGHT ME BEFORE THE DEBATING COULD BEGAN. HOWEVER, WE WILL CONTINUE DEBATING THE THREATS THAT ARE REAL TO IRAN AND SYRIA.
-------------------------------
This is how you start a war.
$1:
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has carried the message articulated by the President directly to the middle east this week. She made her point by repeating the Presidents threats to "...interrupt the flow of support from Iran and Syria. And we will seek out and destroy the networks providing advanced weaponry and training to our enemies in Iraq." while holding up one of America's new mini-nukes. It has been made absolutely clear the Bush administration will stop at nothing to accomplish it's mission in Iraq.
Response to Rice's threats has been immediate and profound. Across the Middle East regular people have taken to the streets in protest . Even moderate Arab states have called the threats 'provocative' and 'irresponsible'. The entire Arab world seems to be united in condemning the bellicose rantings of Secretary Rice and President Bush.
Not all reactions to Rice's comments are negative however. Frederick Kagan, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute has spoken very positively about Secretary Rice's comments.
"I think she got it right. I think the threat to use mini-nukes in targeted strikes to pacify troubling areas inside Iran and Syria is a good moderate response." Said Kagen. "It's not like we are really going to invade Syria and Iran, I mean come on. What would we invade with? The Salvation Army? Militarily speaking, we are tapped out. We got nothing left. Nuclear weapons are the only real way we can stop Iran or Syria from doing anything. I say don't wait, lets start dropping those mini-nukes in the border areas of Syria and Iran. And heck we might as well bomb the tribal regions of Pakistan and get the Taliban while we are at it."
The mere existence on the mini-nukes has taken many military watchers by surprise. While it has been known for years that Bush administration was trying to develop nuclear weapons 'small enough to use', no one realized how small they actually talking about.

Mini-Nukes, lol you gota be kidding me. These are the threats that lead to a all out war and then in the end, Iran and Syria will be blamed for starting this war. Threats are clear and they really want to attack Iran so is this right or wrong? You tell me.

Two things..Mini nuke? What the hell is that?
Second, if Iran or syria were to attack, yes they should be blamed. Threats are not a reason to go to war, action is. Is it right or wrong to attack Iran? If they have developed nuclear weapons, blow the place sky high. If they haven't..then I don't think their is a need yet.

I have no idea what Mini nuke is but here is the picture of it:
WTF, they removed the picture....
Well, lets see who attacks who first and I really doubt it will be Iran or Syria that will strike first. Considering their military capabilities, I am sure they will have more sense then that.

Wow, I thought something was wrong when she was actually holding it, not a picture.
EDIT I think the photo is actually photoshopped.

Of course, blame the war and the escalation on the US and not on Iran and Syria's actions.
If "mini-nukes" are used, it won't be without warning nad will only be because of actions by Syria and Iran
