WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush said Thursday that the standoff over Iran's suspected
nuclear program is headed for the U.N. Security Council if Tehran continues with uranium
enrichment.

"We'll see whether or not that is the firm position of their government," Bush said
after a meeting with his Cabinet at the White House. "If they continue their obstinance,
if they continue to say to the world `We really don't care what your opinion is,' then
the world is going to act in concert."

With Russian and Chinese support crucial to crafting a deal for Iran that also includes
a threat of sanctions, Bush said that he "got a positive response" from Russian President
Vladimir Putin during a conversation on Tuesday.

"We expect Russia to participate in the United Nations Security Council," Bush said he told
Putin. "We'll see whether or not they agree to do that."

He was less positive about his discussion of Iran earlier Thursday with Chinese President
Hu Jintao.

2. I can't believe I'm watching this all happen again!

God, watching the buildup to Iraq made me want to beat my head against the wall. Now we get to go through the production once more, including my favorite part: pretending to give the slightest shit about what other countries think while moving the war plans ever forward.

Well, at least I've moved since we attacked Iraq, so now I have a new wall to beat my head on...
