Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is expected to use his White House visit today to push President Bush to take a more aggressive approach toward Iran -- and there are some signs that he'll have a receptive audience.
Both Olmert and Bush are badly wounded and looking for salvation. Olmert is facing corruption allegations that could drive him from office. Bush is wildly unpopular, desperate to salvage his legacy and fighting irrelevance as the general election begins in earnest -- with even the Republican candidate trying to keep him at a distance.
Yeah, that's just what we need two slightly psychotic, troubled men with delusions of grandeur, a lust for continuing power and nuclear weapons to be conferring on how best to destroy Iran. If Darth Dick shows up, is it the Trifecta of Evil in the Oval?
