Bush Hopes to Use Diplomacy on Iran
WACO, Texas - President Bush (news - web sites), preparing for this week's much-anticipated campaign debate on foreign policy, is insisting Iran will not develop a nuclear weapon on his watch.
"My hope is that we can solve this diplomatically," Bush said in a TV interview broadcast Monday. "We are working our hearts out so that they don't develop a nuclear weapon, and the best way to do so is to continue to keep international pressure on them."

Pressed on whether he would allow Iran to build a bomb, Bush said: "No, we've made it clear, our position is that they won't have a nuclear weapon."

Bush's comments on Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor" did not mark new policy. In June 2003, Bush said that "the international community must come together to make it very clear to Iran that we will not tolerate the construction of a nuclear weapon."

4. Bunker Buster Bombs "diplomatically" sent to Israel.
We can assume they were sent there to be used as planters.

In the Bush lexicon "diplomacy" is getting a surrogate to do the dirty work.
