#1 "We have to be honest and say that all the diplomacy and sanctions and diplomacy so far have not set back the Iranian program by one iota,"

"But we are going to continue doing the same thing as we have been. Dammit man, there's funds to raise and cans to kick. We don't have time for this international stuff."

I do like the " diplomacy and sanctions and diplomacy" bit. Very Monty Pythonish.

#2 "We completely agree with the prime minister's assessment that Iran has failed to make that choice and that is absolutely a disappointment"
