JERUSALEM - President Bush warned Iran of "serious consequences" if it meddles again with U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf, opening a Mideast peacemaking mission Wednesday on an ominous note. He told Israel to dismantle unauthorized settlement outposts and demanded that the Palestinians halt rocket attacks from areas controlled by Hamas Islamic militants.

"I'm under no illusions," Bush said at a news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. "It's going to be hard work."

Unpopular at home, Bush got an extremely warm welcome in staunch ally Israel. With his presidency slipping away and skepticism about the seriousness of his commitment to Mideast peacemaking, Bush hopes an accord would improve a legacy tarnished by an unpopular Iraq war, economic anxieties and other problems.

Already a troubling issue for Bush, Iran jumped back into the spotlight Sunday when Iranian boats harassed and provoked three American Navy ships in the strategic Strait of Hormuz. U.S. officials said Iran threatened to explode the vessels, but the incident ended peacefully.

Bush said "all options are on the table" to protect U.S. ships. He said the Iranian boats "were very provocative and it was a dangerous gesture on their part. ... And they know our position, and that is: There will be serious consequences if they attack our ships, pure and simple. And my advice to them is don't do it."

Any chance he can stay there permenantly?

Pretty please.

unarmed, beaten nation??? ZERO. He faces ZERO consequences for launching a war of aggression. This is American hypocrisy at its finest.

unbelievable isn't it? :(

and while he and his bud Ehud are yucking it up Israel fired on demostrators in Gaza killing six people. Peace?? fuck!

Why do I get the feeling that this bush admin and all their enablers won't be happy until they do actually attack Iran . If they can't find one way they continue to look for another .

The entire coverage if this is what it ever could be called about Iraq has vanished just in time for these primaries and all the focus has been shifted and zoomed in on the presidential hopefuls .

If ( dreaming here ) there were a real reliable media then all topics could easily be covered with their 24/7 news feeds but no , we can't have this or covergae of all the issues we have to deal with in this country alone .

This is like a sinking ship we are on and all the life boats were removed or holes shot in their hulls , but Fox news will still find a way to keep their feed on the sinking ship .

Maybe it's just cuz he's an evil git, I dunno.
