Reuters: Bush to Iran: Abandon nuclear weapons aim

President George W. Bush demanded on Wednesday that Iran give up nuclear weapons ambitions “for the sake of world peace,” as he and German Chancellor Angela Merkel emphasized diplomacy in dealing with Tehran.

Bush and Merkel, during an hour of Oval Office talks, said it was important for the international community to stay united in the drive to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.

“The Iranians must understand that we won’t fold, that our partnership is strong, that for the sake of world peace, they should abandon their nuclear weapons ambitions,” Bush said.

Merkel, who came to Washington intent on mapping out a strategy for confronting Iran that will not splinter the West as Iraq did three years ago, said she and Bush saw good chances for bringing about a diplomatic solution.

“We are in total agreement saying that under no circumstances must Iran be allowed to come into possession of nuclear weapons,” Merkel said.

More diplomatic double and triple speak. The United Nations will do little if ANYTHING.

But, this is good cover for the later military operations, if Iran does not stand down their uranium enrichment program and permit full inspections of their nuclear facilities.
