Bush changes wording: “we’ll give diplomacy a chance to work”
From Associated Press report� on Bush in Germany June 11 2008:
Within the coded language of the U.S. attitude toward Iran, several small changes in Bush’s rhetoric Wednesday added up to a difference. Three times, he called a diplomatic solution “my first choice,” implying there are others. He said “we’ll give diplomacy a chance to work,” meaning it might not. He also offered, without even being asked a question about Iran, that “all options are on the table” � a longtime standard refrain, not heard as much lately, that neither confirms nor denies an intention to use military force.
