Whoa!

Boy, here's a headline I never thought I would see "France ups ante in war of words with Iran". France took the first steps Monday to set up a European sanctions regime against the Islamic government in Tehran, after warning that Iran's failure to renounce nuclear weapons could lead to war.

The tough talk from Paris came as the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany prepared to discuss new UN sanctions on Iran, which has failed to respond to demands to stop enriching uranium.

Tough talk from Paris......huh? All hat and no saddle as they say in Texas?! Time will tell......
