Rice says U.S. military action against Iran "not on agenda"

LONDON (Reuters) - Military action against Iran over its nuclear programme is not on the agenda, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said in an interview broadcast on Sunday.

But she added that President George W. Bush would not rule out any option while the international community pursued diplomatic means to address fears that Tehran is seeking nuclear weapons.

"Military action isn't on the agenda. The agenda is a diplomatic one," Rice told BBC Television in a joint interview with British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw.

"We are on a diplomatic course and we believe that with strong international support, with strong international coherence about this, we can succeed," she said.

3. Military action not on the agenda but * will not rule out any option.
She contradicted herself. Not ruling out anything means military action is on the agenda.

Did she mention Syria? What about Poland?
