Today should be one interesting day in Washington DC. First President Bush is scheduled to meet with the Iraqi Study group to see how the course in Iraq should be changed. Cnn Report that "White House aides have signaled a new openness to change in Iraq policy, but have rejected Democratic proposals to translate electoral success into a redeployment of U.S. troops within months. With support growing for talks that would include Iran and Syria."
Later in the day, President Bush is scheduled to meet with the Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Olmert. On the flight from Israel, Mr. Olmert was asked about the Iranian Nuclear threat, a topic which will be discussed at todays meetings. Mr. Olmert said "they [the Iranians] have to be afraid of the consequences if there isn't a compromise." In the past President Bush, has held an iron fist concerning Iran. However, after Tuesdays election I believe we will see a rise in diplomacy coming from the Bush administration. Personally I believe Israel has a right to be worried about Iran's nuclear threat after President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's repeated calls to destroy Israel.
As the day progresses I will try to post the most up to date news from Washington as it unfolds.
