Now that is one ridiculous statement- the Bush admin has done an about turn on two of it's basic tenets of ME policy within the last fortnight...

"WASHINGTON — John McCain and his aides jousted Monday with Barack Obama's campaign over Obama's contention that the White House is adopting his ideas on dealings with Iraq and Iran.

Over the weekend the Obama campaign pointed to the Bush administration's talk about a "general time horizon" to withdraw U.S. troops in Iraq and its dispatching of a high-level State Department official to Geneva to meet with Iranian diplomats last weekend about that country's nuclear program.

Obama has said he would be willing to meet with Iran's leader and has been calling for U.S. troops to withdraw from Iraq since 2006, prior to the surge."
