Bush: Iran's initial response 'positive'
Edited on Tue Jun-06-06 08:43 PM by ECH1969
President Bush said Tuesday that Iran's initial response to a package of incentives and threats on the nuclear impasse "sounds like a positive step to me."

"We will see if the Iranians take our offer seriously," Bush said in Laredo, Texas, where he was speaking about immigration overhaul. "The choice is theirs to make.

"I have said the United States will come and sit down at the table with them so long as they are willing to suspend their enrichment in a verifiable way," Bush said. "So it sounds like a positive response to me."

European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana laid out the potential rewards and consequences Tuesday during a visit to Tehran. He later told Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice by phone that the Iranians had said they would need time to consider the proposal, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said.

1. Oops. Just follow the script, Georgie
Can't let that mistake happen again. How can you paint Iran as a nation of crazed killers when you start agreeing with them?

4. This is hilarious
Remember when Shrub commented on how Clinton gave N Korea incentives and it didn't work and now he's doing the same. Right out of the Rethug playbook, blame the Clenis then ultimately copy him and hope no one notices. When will this nightmare end!
