A similar scenario would be an optimal way out of the Iranian deadlock, especially if the United States provides Tehran with guarantees that it would not attack Iran.

What I found most notable about President Bush’s remarks was that he began to prepare the people for the potential long-term consequence of this action, including the possibility of a protracted military engagement, the hopefully...
