Mr Bush...said that Washington was ready for talks with Iran. “We are prepared to do that,” he said. “If the Iranians are ready to sit we are going to point out what they are doing to undermine Iraqi security.”

Yeah. Those talks will go far.

The Bush administration prefers a "diplomatic solution". Iraq-style, I suppose.

Edit: like the Iranians do not know for themselves how they undermine Iraq if they do.

Edit again: like Iraq insecurity was not inflicted by the occupation in the first place.

All are ruled by dictators?

No, no, you've got it all wrong "Mr Bush called Iran one of the two greatest threats to America in this century, together with al-Qaeda"

Or was it "al-Qaeda-in-Iraq"? What d'ya say? No link between al-Qaeda and Iraq? Ah, never mind! Be afraid! So the Constitution can be shred and your dollars inflated away to finance a few illegal wars of conquest with your permission.
