Bush's mind closed on Iran...? Muhahahahahaha...!

(thanks to lukery at wot is it good 4...)
We know that Bush and Olmert are meeting this Tuesday, and you don’t have to be a psychic to guess what they’ll be talking about. The Security Council is meeting Wednesday to finish work on a resolution calling for the Iranians to suspend enrichment activities while negotiations continue, something that the Iranians have already rejected as violating their rights under the NPT. We also suspect that neither the Russians nor the Chinese will support a Security Council resolution that can be enforced through military action. So it is very possible that the diplomatic avenue will be closed in Bush’s mind by the end of this week.

The carrier battle groups arrive in the region shortly after that.

add the "diplomatic avenue" to the vast list of items that bush's mind is closed to... seriously, though, i doubt that diplomacy, negotiation, or bilateral dialogue ever had any place on a list of options for dealing with iran...
