Daniel Drezner in reference to the altered US position towards Iran:
Tomorrow in Bizarro world politics -- Dick Cheney buys Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a flower.
UPDATE: Quote of the Day, Part 2 from Christopher Preble at Cato@Liberty
Were that question to be posed to George Bush, that most incurious of modern presidents, it appears we already know the answer, at least based on the President's public remarks. As the Post reported, "Bush defended his approach [toward Iran] during a televised session in the White House briefing room, saying 'our policy remains the same' regardless of the new intelligence." This would seem to confirm that the President does not employ intelligence to inform policy. (Emphasis mine.)
