Bolton upset with Bush meeting with Iran: "like getting an Obama administration six months early"

http://www.usnews.com/usnews/politics/bulletin/bulletin_080717.htm

<snip>

ABC World News noted the White House's objection to Obama's words, but added that "the fact is, they are sitting down at the table with the Iranians," which "is essentially what Barack Obama has been proposing." In fact, former Ambassador John Bolton "said this is like getting an Obama administration six months early. Now, the White House says this is very different. But it sure sounds like it's heading in that direction."



:rofl:

US plans to station diplomats in Iran for first time since 1979
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jul/17/usa.iran
The US plans to establish a diplomatic presence in Tehran for the first time in 30 years as part of a remarkable turnaround in policy by President George Bush.

The Guardian has learned that an announcement will be made in the next month to establish a US interests section - a halfway house to setting up a full embassy. The move will see US diplomats stationed in the country.
