Bottom line for Iran: war in the absence of a priori capitulation to Bush administration demands.

In Rovian language for domestic politics, this means "we create our own reality."

"Bush doesn’t seem to get that one can’t establish a Palestinian state without simultaneously negotiating with the Syrians. He doesn’t seem to get that knocking back Iran’s pretensions in the region requires a rapprochement with Syria to put distance between Assad and Iran. He doesn’t seem to get that none of the major objectives we have in the region are possible without the robust support of Russia and China, two states we are not tending very well."
