Actually, skinowski, it isn't just Bush that it will be hard for .... It is going to be a hard choice for AMERICA. The Dems will be in charge of both House and Senate, and it is on THEIR shoulders now, as well as the President's shoulders.

The Friedman says: This is going to be the hard part for Bush. The last thing he wants is to enhance Iranian power.

So that means the question is: Do the Americans want to enhance Iranian power or not?

The Democrats will no longer be able to get away with just hurling stones....they will have to openly and for the record, participate in the decisions made, and we will all have to live with them.

At least, we hope we will be able to live...and that Iran doesn't try to take over our country, either overtly or covertly....

This is going to be the hard part for Bush. The last thing he wants is to enhance Iranian power. But the fact is that Iranian power already has been enhanced by the ability of Iraqi Shia to act with indifference to U.S. wishes. By complying with this recommendation, Washington would not be conceding much. It would be acknowledging reality. Of course, publicly acknowledging what has happened is difficult, but the alternative is a continuation of the current strategy -- also difficult. Bush has few painless choices.
