The one thing Congress could do--cut the gasoline tax--they absolutely refuse to do."""

They could also ask whether war is the only option for getting Iran into line. But nobody is doing that, either -- and yet Bush's continuing threats to invade or bomb Iran have to be helping to drive up oil prices, since Iran is the world's 4th biggest supplier of oil.

You must have a direct line to his office because I have heard none of that. All the threats are coming from Iran.

Ever the appeaser, aren't you churchill?

What's Bush supposed to do? Kow-tow to that maniac Amadinajad so you can have cheap gas?

How would you get Iran into line? Those mullahs are spitting in the face of the UN, the Euros, and the US.

You'll have us all speaking Farsi if we let you run foreign policy.

Well, right now, we're not pursuing the option of war, we're exhausting diplomacy and talks with Iran down to the last drop. So far, it's not working, but we are trying our best.

The option of striking them should always be kept on the table, no matter what, just in case. But at the moment we're desperately trying to reason with them.
