All along, George W. Bush has been provoking Iran by labeling them as part of the "Axis of Evil" and accusing them of aiding terrorists.
He kept telling us that diplomacy is off the table because we don't negotiate with terrorists.
In fact, the July 13th edition of the British Sunday Times reported that Bush "has given an 'amber light' to an Israeli plan to attack Iran’s main nuclear sites with long-range bombing sorties." As the article goes on to explain, "Amber means get on with your preparations, stand by for immediate attack and tell us when you’re ready."
Yikes!
But now Bush seems to have changed his tune, or is at least willing to stall. He is preparing to send William Burns, the under secretary of state for political affairs, to a summit this weekend for talks with a European Union foreign policy chief and Iran's nuclear envoy.
In other words, we're going to take part in diplomatic negotiations with a member of the Axis of Evil.
Apparently it's OK if Bush does it.
But when Obama talks about diplomacy, he is scoffed at and labeled an "appeaser".
Go figure.
