Olmert: Fewer question marks as to U.S. plans to confront Iran
By Barak Ravid, Haaretz Correspondent, Haaretz Staff, and News Agencies

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met Wednesday with President George W. Bush in Washington, with Iran at the center of the discussion.

Following the meeting, the premier said Wednesday that there are fewer question marks between the two allies concerning the means, the time constraints, and the level of American determination in dealing with the Iranian nuclear program. The two leaders met face to face for an hour in the Oval Office.

"Naturally the Iranian issue was central to our talks, and our shared point of departure is the need to deal with Iran before it manages to acquire non-conventional capabilities," Olmert told reporters after the meeting.

He said the two leaders also discussed the talks with the Palestinians and Lebanon, and the U.S. president asked to be briefed on developments with Syria. "Every day that goes by we are making significant steps in dealing with this problem . We, with the world under American leadership, are dealing with it in an effort to reach the goal which is to prevent Iran from acquiring arms," Olmert said.

3. What "Iran nuclear program" would that be? The LEGAL "inalienable right" nuclear program

for nuclear energy? That "Iran nuclear program"?

These MFing idiots really don't bother with the facts at all. They see imaginary things they want to see, and that's all they see. They all need locking up for their own good. And the world's.

4. Olmert still getting slush money..

Shouldn't he be in prison or something...I think his defense minister even wanted him to step down

5. Three meetings in, what 7-8 months????

THese face to face meetings mean only one thing -- Bush will take action against Iran sometime before he leaves office. I think this is more inevitable now that McCain looks to be a losing candidate -- they have to act before the Dems take office.

6. "time constraints" = January 23, 2009
