--President Bush knows the general direction he wants to move U.S. policy on Iraq but won't announce it until next month, the White House said Tuesday.

Just a thought, but, you know, couldn't some of this intense scrutiny of the policy taken place over the summer, when the sectarian violence was just starting to spin out of control, and there was still a prayer that Congressional majorities could have been saved to do the hard work longer?

--As a whole, I reject this report," Talabani said.

"I think that Baker-Hamilton is not fair, is not just, and it contains some very dangerous articles which undermine the sovereignty of Iraq and the constitution," Talabani said.

asked to respond, James Baker turned to an aide to ask who Jalal Talibani was, and then asked the reporters if he knew if Talibani was an Israeli agent.

--Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday told delegates at an international conference questioning the Holocaust that Israel's days were numbered.

"Just as the Soviet Union was wiped out and today does not exist, so will the Zionist regime soon to be wiped out," he added.

Whew. Thank goodness we've been advised to sit down and talk with him. Why, somebody that reasonable and worldly is SURELY just the right guy to help us solve a sectarian violence problem in one of his neighboring countries.
