Gen. James Mattis of Central Command made the statement that the Obama Administration's sanctions and diplomatic efforts to stop Iran from gaining nuclear capabilities is not working. He added that Tehran is enriching uranium for purposes other than peace; Tehran, he continued, has a history of deceit and denial, as well. Being questioned be Senators, Mattis commented that in his own personal opinion that other efforts need to be made just in case. Asked by Senator Graham if the only other way was to bring them "to their knees", Mattis responded with a "yes".
All three news sites included commentaries from both Mattis and US Senators on the current conditions of the sanctions and alternative measures. All three were written in a similar style which is odd becasue the news groups are completely different.
