#1 SPIEGEL: We are in the middle of regime change in Germany...

Rumsfeld: ... that's hardly the phrase I would have selected.

#2 Rumsfeld: I'm not talking about sanctions. I thought you, and the U.K. and France were.

IOW: we're the unspecified "serious consequences," the big stick.

#4 SPIEGEL: Surely you know that the Europeans are full of hot air and incapable of applying real pressure to Iran aren't you?

Rumsfield: I know no such thing.

SPIEGEL: Please, please take the lead. WE're incapable.

Rumsfield: Okay, the US will formulate a policy.

SPIEGEL: Warmongering unilateral fascist!
