"Holy cow, Batman." This is definitely news!
A top U.S. diplomat heading to Tehran has no plans to meet separately with Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, but the mere presence of the Bush administration official at talks between the Iranian negotiator and representatives of other world powers will be a sharp break with past administration policy.

Perhaps desperation is driving Bush now that his approval rating is down there with Jimmy Carter. And Carter at least left us with some conservation and alternative energy programs. Bush is leaving us with dead bodies, world wide disapproval, and huge debt. I think it's too late for him to gain approval or sympathy from Americans. The question for this year's election is not "are you better off than you were four years ago" but "will you be better off in four years if you elect Republican John McSame".
