George Bush thinks that the conflict over Iran's nuclear weapons program can be resolved diplomatically.
President Bush said Friday the United States does not want to take any action inside Iran's borders, and he believes the U.S. conflict with Iran can be resolved diplomatically.
And when will this diplomacy began. Apparently, it has already happened.
"In fact, we're making pretty good progress on that front," he said. "I believe we can succeed."
Which high ranking member of the Bush Administration has been talking to Iran? It doesn't say in the article and I haven't seen anything that would suggest it.

Is Bush talking about the diplomacy of deploying an aircraft carrier group and a Patriot Missle battalion into the Persian Gulf?
Iran target of US Gulf military moves, Gates says
Increased US military activity in the Gulf is aimed at Iran's "very negative" behaviour, the Bush administration said today.

The defence secretary, Robert Gates, told reporters that the decision to deploy a Patriot missile battalion and a second aircraft carrier to the Gulf in conjunction with a "surge" of troops in Iraq was designed to show Iran that the US was not "overcommitted" in Iraq.
Was that the diplomacy he was referring to? Just like the "diplomatic" solution in Iraq? Or is this the diplomacy he was reffering to:
Troops Authorized to Kill Iranian Operatives in Iraq
The Bush administration has authorized the U.S. military to kill or capture Iranian operatives inside Iraq as part of an aggressive new strategy to weaken Tehran's influence across the Middle East and compel it to give up its nuclear program, according to government and counterterrorism officials with direct knowledge of the effort.
There is no talking to adversaries in the world of Bush Diplomacy. Only threats.
