Bush: No early Iran-Syria talks
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6216278.stm

US President George W Bush has ruled out early talks with Iran and Syria on tackling Iraq's unrest, after meeting Tony Blair at the White House.
Their talks came a day after a damning US report called for such a move as part of a change in strategy on Iraq.

The two leaders agreed that a new way forward was needed on Iraq.

But they said Iran and Syria would have to be clear they backed a non-sectarian democratically elected government in Iraq and ended support for terrorism.

Mr Blair welcomed the Iraq Study Group (ISG) report, and mirrored its call for action on finding an end to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.

He conceded conditions in Iraq were "tough and challenging".

1. Pelosi: no early impeachment.
"Early" Iran-Syria talks are no longer possible. It is way, way, late.

3. This policy of not "talking" to anyone is just digging us into a deeper
hole.

6 years of snubbing the world and pushing and shoving - like unmannered children. Like it is supposed to show how tough we are, and that we can't be pushed around or taken advantage of. It seems to be having just the opposite affect.

I guess no one ever told the squatter that a real man talks and works things out.
