Ha'aretz: "Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met Wednesday with President George W. Bush in Washington, with Iran at the center of the discussion. Following the meeting, the premier said Wednesday that there are fewer question marks between the two allies concerning the means, the time constraints, and the level of American determination in dealing with the Iranian nuclear program. The two leaders met face to face for an hour in the Oval Office. ... 'I do not think it is appropriate for Iran to know what we are doing,' Olmert said, and described the cooperation with the United States on countering Iran's nuclear program."
A colleague writes, "It all reminds me of the moment toward the end of the Vietnam war, circa 1973, when Nixon was telling Kissinger to go to the negotations with the N. Vietnamese in Paris and say, 'You gotta cooperate. Nixon is crazy! He could do anything.' The vast irony was that it was true."
