I do have my opinions regarding alot of what I post. However, my reporter status I take very seriously and try to not show bias in my reports one way
or the other.
In regards to your question, I don't think so. There is no percentage in this ploy. Bush already faces critisism from withing the party as I reported
here:

Even the hardcore party loyalists would balk at this. Perhaps its Bush's attempt to mend fences with France and Germany by not messing around with
it. The presence of the US in these discussions may hinder rather than help with the Iranian government.
Also, absent any real time threats, the American public is going to be much more wary if the war drums begin to beat loudly on this issue. The neocons
may have woken up an realized that going into Iran will be nothing like Afganistan or Iraq.
However, if this is just an attempt to stall for time so that it can be trashed after the election, then most Americans, myself included, will be
pretty pissed. Sorry about the ramble, but Im finishing up a 24 hour shift.
