Bush is straight-talker, so what's EU3?

President Bush is a straight-talking guy, so what's he doing talking about the EU-3?

It's part of Bush diplomatic-speak. Derided by some as a cowboy during his first term, Bush is ending his presidency knee-deep in group diplomacy.

Throughout his weeklong trip through Europe he's talked a lot about ways the U.S. is huddling with other countries to push for change in rival nations like North Korea and Iran, or push for peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

Diplomatic rhetoric that sounds like alphabet soup is not as snazzy as statements like "dead or alive" — a comment he uttered after the Sept. 11 attacks about Osama bin Laden and one he later had second thoughts about saying.

How can the president keep it straight, let alone have confidence that any of these thorny disputes can be resolved in the seven months he has left in office?
