WASHINGTON (AFP) - US President George W. Bush wants a peaceful end to "the Iranian problem," the White House said Monday after a fresh report that the United States is looking at possible military options.

"The president has said that he believes there is a diplomatic solution that we can use to solve the Iranian problem. And that's why we're working with our allies to get there," said Bush spokeswoman Dana Perino.

Perino refused to comment on an article in The New Yorker magazine about alleged US preparations for war except to express frustration with its unnamed sources and with other US media outlets for reporting what the piece said

This is actually not a "new" story, just an interesting take on it by the AFP. Now excuse me while I go back to laughing at the headline.

3. the problem with bush wanting a dehplohmahtick solution to the Iran problem is that he is not

willing to wait for the diplomatic solution to work itself through. his words are shorthand for, "attack Iran!" Sadly, so.

4. And that is when we need to worry... remember Iraq?

As the transcript published in Spain clearly demonstrated, when Bush says he is seeking a peaceful diplomatic end to the conflict that means behind closed doors he has already made his decision to attack.

SAme with Iran.
