LANDSDOWNE, Virginia (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney, taking a tough line toward Iran, described the country's government on Sunday as a "growing obstacle to peace in the Middle East."

Cheney, in a speech to a think tank, also accused Tehran of practicing "delay and deception" regarding its nuclear program and warned of consequences if it did not comply with the West's demands that it halt sensitive nuclear work.

The vice president's harsh rhetoric toward Tehran came just a few days after President George W. Bush warned that nuclear-armed Iran could lead to World War Three.

The Bush administration has been trying to rally support for a tighter international sanctions but faces difficulties amid Russian resistance.

Cheney said that progress toward peace and stability in the Middle East would depend on responsible conduct by countries in the region, including respect for neighbors' sovereignty and compliance with international agreements.

"If you apply all these measures it becomes immediately clear that the government Iran falls far short and is a growing obstacle to peace in the Middle East," Cheney told the pro-Israel Washington Institute for Near East Policy.

1. For this bellicose administration to make any statement on peace is
is ludicrous. Cheney is determined for some inexplicable reason to attack Iran; the American people MUST STOP him.

2. He did?
He called Iran an obstacle? And what did he call himself? That is irony for you. He has been the biggest obstacle to peace in recent memory.

4. Cheney has been an obstacle to peace for many decades.
Not that my observation is anything earth-shattering to progressives. Just I thought I'd say before anyone else.

11. Anything and anybody that gets in Cheney's way as he goes to suck up OIL is an 'obstacle'
After all, Cheney would like folks to believe he doesn't get an erection slaughtering people as he takes their resources.
