I doubt this is the same President Bush I used to know!
The current US policy on Iraq (allowing the Shia to take power) makes no sense unless the US and Iran make up their differences and become friends. This would make two of the world's biggest oil producers allies. Oil is the only really important factor in play here. It will of course take a bit of diplomatic effort (like this statement by Bush), but would be well worth it for the USA. A pro-US Iran is the only thing that would stabilise Iraq in the long run. It's blindingly obvious. The Iraq insurgency is Iran's way of inducing the US to meet it halfway. Wait and see!
