Tony Snow Hints at Attack on Iran

CNN, to it's credit, has been pressing Bush on his planned attack upon Iran. Wolf Blitzer yesterday got Tony Snow to tip the administration hand:

BLITZER: Is that true? Are you getting ready for a war with Iran?

SNOW: No. And furthermore, Wolf, I am at a total loss to find any place where this administration has been trying to, quote, "create a run-up with a war on Iran." It is interesting to me that it seems that some politicians maybe are trying to protect Iran. But no. The president has made it clear. We're not planning a full scale invasion into Iran. Instead, what we have said is, we are pursuing a diplomatic path to get the Iranians to rejoin the international community.

We think it can be effective. We believe in diplomacy.

"Full scale", huh? No, but you are planning missile strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities; and some other military sites thrown in. How do you "believe" in diplomacy and not talk to the Iranians? You just concluded a nuclear agreement with North Korea. Why not Iran? That's because you are planning to attack Iran.
