As the Middle East Leaders join together now Bush wants to talk to Iran. FYI The Saudi King invited the President of Iran to the Holy Pilgrimage. Yes and Iraq has invited the Iran President to Iraq and that too is a first. How does this fit in the Bush/Cheney plan, it doesn't. Iraq will not allow the US to have an Embassy as the US taxpayers have given billions of dollars for nothing.
