Bush sees possible US-Iran talks on Iraq
Source: AFP

WASHINGTON (AFP) - US President George W. Bush said Tuesday that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice might have bilateral talks with her Iranian counterpart at a conference on Iraq next month in Egypt.

But he indicated that there would be no one-to-one talks outside such a context or discussions about Tehran's nuclear program, which Washington charges is cover for an atomic weapons program despite the Islamic republic's denials.

Asked in an interview with PBS television whether Rice might have "bilateral conversations" in Egypt with Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, Bush replied: "They could, they could."

"I'm more than happy to send our representatives to a regional conference, all aiming at helping the Iraq government gain credibility in the international community," he said.

"What I'm not willing to do is sit down bilaterally with the Iranians."

"What I'm not willing to do is sit down bilaterally with the Iranians."

I seriously doubt he even knows what "bilaterally" means..

3. Maybe the AWOL liar wants to kidnap her Iranian counterpart...
to be tortured in Gitmo like the ones he illegally captured in Irak a few weeks ago...
